No response when pulling the brake lever (Hydraulic brake)

The brake pads aren't even moving to touch the discs on my hydraulic
brakes. It happened after I was holding the rear brake for a long
time whilst climbing a steep technical incline (having tipped over and
trying to regain my balance and momentum).

What should I look for?

Bleeding? Fluid in there?

That's the sort of thing where I'd feel if I needed to ask the question
I'd be happier to take it to a specialist, let them do it and ask to
watch and have it explained for DIY next time.

+1. One of my Hopes behaved admirably for 1000 km before suddenly declining
to work after a moment of inattention saw me tumble gracelessly into the
verge. No sign of a leak. I bled it when I got home and it's been 100%
ever since.

Did you find you were the Mayor of anywhere as a result?

Nah, the brake problem occurred about 50 km before Loudéac on the outward
leg, so some 700 km before becoming Mayor.

It's all about mental illness.

Dave Larrington twisted the electrons to say:

Hmm ... So no chance of claiming it on expenses then? :-)

How _many_ ditches did you dive into on the PBP? Did you find John Spooner
having a kip in any of them?

Just the one - I think - though there were a couple of near misses when it
was pitch-black and chucking it down. And, as any fule kno, Mr. Spooner is
the Bus-Shelter King...
