Part 1 of a longer term plan.

That's an excellent shot. Slightly tighter crop on the LHS to take out the horse butt (maybe a rock) on the land horizon and it's even better.

Such a wonderful addition to the building. It's a phenomenal space to spend time in.

Rick.. better... not by much.. he irritates me with his incessant prattling.

Oli is excellent.

You'd be correct :)

Sony RX-100 Shaf, great small, simple and great sensor for a compact.

Looks good - go point it at things.

You'd be right.

https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53853063350_41d07aa018_h.jpg This taken with a phone camera John? EXIF data - 700D. ISO125, f 4.5, ss 1/1250 Considering the slow lens and DOF, that's some damn good autofocus to pull that and not blur the panno. One of your better shots - and you resisted over p...

It's a tern.

I had the joy of taking Isla out for a tour of Calderdale once, very memorable day. Both of us riding SS, with Tracey Mosley and her partner on gears. I was riding well (racing a lot and fit), she had at least 10 years on me, and it was a day of chase the whippet up the hills for me, then struggle t...

Does depend on the rider though. I could happily have ridden on thinner tyres (rode 2.3s) but they gave me the option of riding, not mincing, down the CDT alternates, Goldrush Trail and the other more technical downs with a large degree of safety. But, there were HUGE sections I'd have loved somethi...

Owning one of these, with a damned as close setup, I can say that this is a steal. Wonderful bike.

You'll enjoy parts, you won't enjoy others. It's a special event. Enjoy it, I sure as hell did.

Spent 3 days in the hills doing a walking trip...then decided a local fast orienteering race was a good idea after a day climbing with my daughter....it was nice training, but it wasn't racing for me :)

I want to say a favourite memory... but this section does stick out from the first year:

James in boulderland by Greg.May, on Flickr

Yep, as a couple have spotted up thread I'm in! Big excitement, as it's 10 years since my last attempt! I had a place for 2020 (we all know what happened then). That got transferred to 2021 but as I had a 6 month old son and a daughter on chemo I wasn't able to take up my place :sad: Let's hope the...

Coiners fell race - 11km with 325m vet and a lot of fast trails that my legs can't handle at the moment! Started out hard (careful now) in order to get to the stile that always causes a bottle neck. Ran well up the next climb and flat before having a bit of a wobble along the climb to the Pike. Lost...
