We go out into the hills to lose ourselves, not to get lost. You are only lost if you need to be somewhere else and if you really need to be somewhere else then you're probably in the wrong place to begin with.

Arg, I knew you'd be along in a minute Peter with some drooltastic pics. This is all too much.

And that graveyard is a corker as well, a real collector's item - are you prepared to divulge the location? Presumably welsh Wales somewhere. I feel a bit useless for not recognising it instantly.

Just looking back over those pics, my only minor concern is that I look younger now than I did 33 years ago. I know I've mentally regressed to a 10 year old but I didn't know that worked physically as well.

If it's where I think it is its Welsh but only just and having a twin engined bicycle is a very good choice
to get up out of there .

It's not Patrishaw Kevin if that's what you're thinking - although that is indeed a lovely little church on a b@st@rd of a climb :-bd

The church is just upstream from Britain's smallest town and the photo was taken on an icy November morning. We'd just crossed the 'new bridge' over the Afon Irfon on sheet ice where someone riding up behind us lost it on the ice, my daughter momentarily stopped pedalling and was probably shocked by my language as I 'encouraged' her to keep pedalling nice and smoothly! We were visiting during the annual Beer Festival otherwise known as the Real Ale Wobble. And yes, it is indeed in Wales :-bd
