I'm cheery 'cos you lot above seem pretty cheery :smile: . Also just been to the station (that's the railway station, not the train station :wink: ) and booked my bike tickets for September's ludicrous 3-night enterprise to 148 and 161. One of my co-conspirators has recently added a 22nd location to...

Fabulous! I'll bet they'll remember that for the rest of their lives. Really makes this a Cheery Friday! "The only respite came when a bottle of beer fell from the Benno and, miraculously not breaking, rolled down the hill and stopped under my tyre. I made a note of the deduction to Dave's pack...

She just dangled a dead one on a bit of thread

Yep, seen Sapphire & Steel but not all episodes. Very quirky. Very slow-burn. Doubt many people these days would have the staying power to watch it. Trying to avoid spoilers... I think I remember one where they ended up trapped in a single room in space? I had nightmares about it after seeing i...

Top work from both parties . Even for a route-o-phobe like Reg, the TCW is right up there.

Sort of like Hilda Ogden hairnets but for tiny insects? Neat!

Two boxset DVDs - The Prisoner (renowned) and Sapphire & Steel (niche) My mum missed the last episode of the prisoner when it was first on the telly as she had to go to a wedding, waited 30 years for the repeats, wishes she hadn't bothered, allegedly there should have been a second series that ...

^ Nude bikepacking. Yah, been done.

Fair play Sir. Slept inside a tree if I've interpreted that correctly. Must be a first for Here .

Just going to say exactly that . A real gem that brickworks. Almost like a "living museum" type of place.

Top stuff. Worth considering shunting a bit more kit out the back (seatpack/harness) to balance the front end. Maybe you already have and it was just a quickie outing so you bunged it all up front to save time, in which case: :smile: . What've you shoved where, out of interest? I like the caged pot ...

Maybe both!

Yep, in funny money units .

I don't think they had litres in Newton-le-Willows in 1957

Same outfit built the incomparable Lightning of course. And my incomparable first cooker.

It's certainly " 'taters " here. Leggings still in place, now had to augment with a fleece!

Bigger than Trev's head . Size in which units? cubic inches for example? 7500 I believe.

Well there we go. I've just had to put my bamboo leggings on under my trousers and it's still August.

Can you do this with Death Trap's engine Stu . Might have to "Drink Me" first I guess .

And no, Trev, I'm not calling 999 if you get your head stuck. It's even less believable than a saucepan.

Always been intrigued by that placename. Shortest in UK? Need to go and look up origins...

Oh Lordy, already? . Best time of the year. Peak District anyone?

We think you already know which of those two minds has the upper hand .

Would certainly raise being 'bunged up' to a whole new level of uncomfortable straining.

Two boxset DVDs - The Prisoner (renowned) and Sapphire & Steel (niche). No more saddles though.

Pickers! Happy Birthday old bean When they made Pickers they threw away the mould..... which had accumulated on his sleeping bag during one particular BaM we did .
