    Squit = nonsense, mardle = chat - it's Norfolk dialect, and the name of
    a couple of Audaxes.

    It's certainly a nuisance if have the squits, but not sure about
    nonsense. Well, unless you don't quite make it, of course ;-)

    Indeed. I'll be doing the shorter audax next weekend, The Norfolk Mardle
    (100km) as opposed to The Old Squit (200km). Due to the weather of late I
    haven't been on the bike often enough to feel confident about doing the
    squit in the allotted time. The mardle is easier. Yes, I am a wimp. Cycling
    with my cycling partner from the next village - she & I do a lot of pootling
    of the lanes together.

    Or 'squitting' as in 'semi-quitting', the feeling deep dark February when you
    just want to give up on it all but you know you can't stop now after working
    towards things for years so you just go eat chocolate in bed for the day, to
    go back to mardling the next day.
    'mardling': related to 'muddling through' but harder work.

    So does one 'mardle squit' or vice versa?
