Re: Winter Jennride
I was in an orange jacket with a Kendal CC logo on the back. Should be asking on the WJ thread, but was it you riding with Jamie Hyppy? Moving conversation from the BAM thread: Nah, I rode solo.

Re: Who'd have thunk it, an interesting article on Road.cc?
Well reading this has changed our holiday plans. The 5 of us are now getting the ferry to Amsterdam, on bikes, and doing a leisurely 250Km loop using eco rated hostels and BnB's. We'll buy local etc and hope the kids don't hate it too much :lol: It was always an option to be honest, but this was a t...

I'd planned to go for this Saturday, when the sun was out a bit, but a last minute announcement of family and social engagements scuppered it, so Sunday was my last chance for February.

Re: A wee whisky appreciation thread.
I dipped in and out of it, and have now lost/lent out my copy. As a massive Iain Banks fan, it felt like it was under edited, and that he was given free reign.Also reading Raw Spirit by Iain Banks, great fun though I confess to skipping the ample petrolhead discursions.

Sainsbury have Laphroaig Oak Select for £26 (Nectar price). Not sure it's nectar, but it's like a smooth, flowy, trail centre descent of an Islay malt.

There was a low level signpost to it off the fireroad when I was last there 3 or 4 years ago. EDIT: as shown in pic in whitestone's BAM write up. The immediate area had been clear felled, so can't see it will have changed much since. I approached very laboriously along the (increasingly non-existent...

Looks like I'm working this weekend now, and don't have an alternative free. I'll confirm when I know for certain.
EDIT: confirmed that I'm on work related training that weekend, so no go for me.
