Borders/Northumberland 1150GSA request

[poor tom]

Hi,
Are there any 1150GSA riders nearby who have a STOCK SEAT who'd let me fit it onto mine for a few minutes to see if it solves my problem?
My second-hand bike only has the low seat; which results in me getting cramp, as I have to bend my left leg too much. But I don't want to shell out on a new seat unless I know my feet WILL touch the ground safely!!!
Based near Alnwick, a score of miles the wrong side of the border... , but still the right side of the Roman Wall.
Thanks in anticip... ...ation!

Well, then...
thanks to Rev Chuck for lending me his standard seat - used it for 45 miles today, but it does feel weird! Juuuust not too high for me to reach the ground, but a really strange bouncy feel to it.
So I think I'll get used to doing some stretching exercise with my left leg (the right one never gets cramp on the bike...).
And I might dream of a Wunderlich re-upholstering option if I win the lottery, and will look out for an affordably-second-hand peg-lowering kit.

Thanks everyone...
