On a Ride in the Cheviots with @The Hodge I managed only 16 mile range in cold wet and windy conditions….

The thought did cross my mind..however upon reflection it occurred to me that while I've done that route many times on a normal mtb ..the only time ( twice) I have done that route on an ebike has been to start at Mosedale ..a much shorter version which omits the climb ( and return) from Threlkeld ..oops
..
What is now more concerning is am I beginning to lose my marbles ..

8 miles left with no battery power. Surprised you didn’t call mountain rescue
Mountain brew rescue more like it

We also had 700 batteries.Speed has nothing to do with it Colin ..tour mode has always been my " default" setting ..and having previously ridden that route with juice left in the tank ..it was more to do with the conditions of the day ..windy/ freezing cold and muddy..
I wasn't alone in having battery concerns as both Phil and Steve conserved what they had left by switching off completely when mine went suddenly ( the last bar for the first time ever gave very little range at all ) except on the steepest of climbs ..and finished with very little left in the tank .
I'm usually spot on in terms of estimating " range" and have done longer rides with more height gain than this without having to resort to eco ..and it not like I'm using emtb or turbo ...but a 34 mile ride with 3400ft of climbing is pretty close to maximum range even on a warm day .
@RsGaz ..if you felt the weight of my back pack you would maybe understand why carrying a second battery is a complete non starter....
But thank you both for your suggestions
