Whether or not that is worth bothering with is another question though, getting the adjustments right can be quite challenging.
I have given it a go, adjusting the cable tensions and altering the derailleur height, angle etc, which did improve things, but I still have to manually judge the position of the gear selectors to make the derailleur jump to the correct gear, and can't go by the numbering as you end up with the chain shooting off the end of the gears.

It does work, I just need to be careful when changing into the lower ratio gears.

I will definitely be considering cycling more this summer. Maybe even combining it with camping.
