A Lunar Solo from FLV :-bd The tarp /tent / shelter / hammock / bivi collection is getting a bit silly now :lol: Are you loaning them out for a fee, like 'higher' company? :grin: :-bd I challenge Monkey to set them all up at the same time. Not next to each other, but inside each other, "Russia...

that view of what makes that landscape special/beautiful is a recent snapshot in multiple millenia of human activity. It calls into question the mission of National Parks to "Conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage" when they are preserving an industrial la...

Good job you remembered by Shrewsbury at least. Can only get better. Good luck with the ride Lu.

I tried to get - The Bikepacker Formerly Known as Lune but was turned down :wink: You're lucky - I just woke up one morning and suddenly I was someone else! Verusa - nooooooo-o-o-o don't change back now! Two confusions don't cancel out they just make double confusion! And the rest of us'd have to r...

So are we now Bearlegged (Beerlegged?) Formerly Known As Landslide? This is all very confusticating for a simple bear/Bear like me. (and yes I know that bear :-bd ) From now on, I want you all to call me... 'Loretta'. Oh, get back, get back Get back to where you once belonged Get back, get back Get...

PS. on the subject of names, in the past few hours, amongst many other weirdnesses which I won't go into now, I've just discovered that my chum Mark did Astrophysics for a while after he left school ("why did you stop?", "birds, booze, drugs", "ermm.. oh. er, right" sai...

Good grief, only been away half a day and Verena is now Veruca ( were you in Charlie and the Choc Factory, V??), Landslide is some sort of ursine alter ego, and apparently I'm not Reg at all (if indeed I ever was? Er, was I?) but another gender-explorative member of the PFJ??? My attachment to reali...

random albums Well also obviously what I'm listening to right now: "Is It....Man Or Astroman?" :-bd (*) Followed by "1000X".. "Man Made Of CO2"..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhjamqKk_28 (*) good grief, I've just checked, and my CD is fetching fifty quid or more ...

Yes, yes... but was it Bill , or was it.... Bob ? :smile: If you remember I was keen to join in the HMHB gig at the same time as The Rezillos but "stuff" got in the way to my eternal chagrin :cry: . Not too late though chap. Gigpacking is not dead, just.... sleeping.... Essential? How far ...

Bag of thyme & rosemary crisps.
Glass of something.
Episode 9 "Checkmate" of The Prisoner.

Sorted.


Can see you there Stevo . How's that there new job going?

Sigh. Banged to rights there, right enough....

and there you have it, bravo :-bd PS. Interestingly, it has been known for people to roll up to the WRT, get one mile into their ride, then stop and go back to base and then home, announcing that it wasn't "their type of event". Thereby spectacularly missing the point (*) completely of cou...

As an example, just one of an almost infinite number of WRT 'formats' was my own experience of my first one. Chew had kindly offered his really excellent 'Lonely Hearts Club' to any Billy/Milly-No-Mates who came alone. On the day he gathered ten or so apprehensive riders with all manner of bikes, cl...

I just knew that would happen, as soon as I'd typed it

Tussocks, rain - yes indeed, but ohhhh so much worse :smile: The WRT and Winter Event are similar to each other but I would say the BB2/300 is somewhat different - more 'serious' for want of a better word, having a fixed format and purpose which you shouldn't treat lightly. WRT/WE format? It can be ...

What a great start to Cheery Friday! Sign her up immediately. She must be passing by some of you guys up there?

Never mind Thursday, this is already turning out to be an "early Cheery Friday". As per usual in fact .

Good job you don't live in Thirsk or this could get even more confusing.

Actually, by some coincidence I heard the pubs there have a special discount offer one day a week - Thirsty Thirsk Thursdays.

21,000'? Flippin' 'eck Sean, what did you do? 20 climbs of Birdlip Hill or something?! Still, at least you'd roll back down like a cheese. What's/where's Birdip pls Reg? A few miles east of Gloucester: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map?x=392500&y=214500&z=120&sv=birdlip&st=3&tl=Map...
