Re: What are you drinking now?
Concentrated - fair enough. You could Trailshot 440ml of streamwater into it then you'd have a 'normal' drink .

Ralph has some catching-up to do. Perhaps leave him here with his friends for a night to even the score :wink: I've always had Ralph down as a bit of a ladies man.

Unfortunately the book is rather out of date - it even says Corris Slater's Arms is "unspoilt" .

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Always good to see light at the end of the tunnel Bob. Bit of good news today (apart from missing out on Amyl!!) so decided to take the rash step of the year's first cocktail. And now the sun's clouded over, sigh. Sod it, having it anyway, cheers! https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53727720946_4283...

Slightly-Annoying Friday. Been waiting for tickets to open for Amyl and The Sniffers at 10am. Sold out by five past! How does that happen? Must be automated buyers or summat. Oh well, just have to make do with Sham 69 the same week.

Re: Yay, it's cheery Friday.
Fair point Sean, we are lucky in that respect. Hence why I don't use bottled water etc. Pity the effluent side of things isn't quite as rigourous. Then again we're pretty lucky with that too compared to many countries aren't we. I think it's the accountability that I'm a bit cynical about sometimes ...

Re: Missing the point?
Which implies the only way to have an adventure is to be lost and clueless about your whereabouts I don't think that implication follows really Laz - bit hyperbolic :smile: . Solo around the world, with a gpx, is now not an adventure but lost in your local woods is. Again a bit of fun hyperbole, bu...

Re: Missing the point?
Upthread I raised an eyebrow at the idea of “waymarked adventure” as a contradiction in terms. On reflection, is any ride that comes with a GPX just as waymarked, albeit digitally? Which begs the question, if you’re following a GPX, especially if a GPX someone else has made for you, is it an advent...

I think we might have gone cross-porpoises there Legs. I wasn't quoting your quote, more riffing further on the pitfalls of mis-labelling something an adventure .
