Thanks for the suggestion, I have just watched it (£3.49 from youtube) and it was brilliant, what an adventure!!
At the same time a thought provoking insight to the plight of the wild American horses.

Fascinating / disturbing documentary on iPlayer called 'The Mole' about a mole in North Korea. I've already said too much. Just go watch it.

Mrs Bag: "Aye.. I don't believe it"
Enid: "Do you think he wants a moll?"
Mrs Bag: "Who'd want one of them... dirty little things, dig up your garden and leave great holes in the park".

Best telly ever made, thank you Palin and Jonesy...

It’s probably been covered earlier, but I’m working my way through Ride to Extraordinary, which covers the Trans North Georgia race (the state, not the country). Good to watch, it’s an interesting race over some really good trails.

I'm glad someone else knows Ripping Yarns, everyone looks at me funny when I say things like this and expect them to laugh knowingly. I swear my girlfriend thinks I've made the whole thing up. I knew I could rely on you Reg.

I am absolutely convinced that is an entry in Roger's Profanisaurus......

I shall investigate further in the morning :smile:

I'm going to assume most folk have seen this but maybe some haven't.

Good shout there Tech. Some cracking spots there. And that unicycle! I don't think I've ever danced round a campfire though - wonder how well that would go down on a WRT :smile: .

Still, I'd far rather be in a dripping wet Welsh wood on a November night. Er.

Hadn't seen that... A good watch. Reminded me of going to the Malvern Classic a few times as I lived there then..

THanks,

Not available yet, but for 48 hours from 7pm Saturday... The Adventure Syndicate film of their "Resolution Race" ride: 4 of them on 2 cargo bikes, from Edinburgh to Copenhagen, between Christmas and New Year. A bit of madness which might appeal to some on here. You'll need to pay a fiver, but they're worth supporting IMO.

http://theadventuresyndicate.com/resolution-race

There's also a challenge running via their Match the Miles app, last seen on the virtual HT550, where you complete some tasks as part of a ride on Saturday and get access to a Q&A after the film. I'm hoping to tie this in with some bike deliveries for the anti-food waste charity I volunteer with, and get them some publicity in the process, though I may be overestimating my "influence" :grin:

Can anyone answer 1 Q about this before I go spend a fiver on it for the family...

Does it contain bad language? If you're wondering what's the threshold... erm, low (ish). To watch with the kids/family so dont fancy being told off (rightly)...

This is well worth the £3.49 btw. Think of Stu but amplified. At the end they ask him if he's ever done it :lol: answer is proper cool. Charges slightly differently to Stu and the BB200 but same principle

That's not an image I'd like to conjure up after a couple of beers. Actually, it absolutely is :-bd .
