    Just look for the L/per min and get as high as you can.
    A very average one would be 30-50 and a bit slow, better would be 70+

    If it's just for your Saturday jaunt you can borrow one of mine if you like seeeing as you live so close?

    PM me if you want to borrow it.

    many thanks for that... i do have a smallish continental one designed for a car... but it does seem to pump some air and get the tyres up... this way tho i have an excuse to buy something else!

    if im struggling i'll give you a shout!
