Re: Woken by the doggers...

Last time I rode too moel y Parc used the verandah route around moel Arthur, churned up with tractors and cattle.
Made the mistake of maintaining height on the footpath rather than the bridleway down the hill, not rideable due to boggy ground again churned up by cattle.

Re: Motivation

Sold/moved out of our house back in January, moved temporarily into parents house. The trouble is bikes in garage biking stuff either in storage or in loft, cant find anything. New house seems a bit off, searches grinding on
Not so much lack of motivation just unable to get out!

Up above the Panorama, up above Llangollen. https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1713/24030077359_3e0f8f6a97_z.jpg It was very grey, the wind was blowing horizontal wet snow.

Re: Hebden Bridge - Calderdale riding update

Feel real sorry for you guys up there, you need to publicise the amount of damage on national news to get assistance, unfortunately all tne news crews seem stranded in either York or Selby, which didnt even flood
Well done Mr May for your coverage, local councilor in waiting?
