I would need a Whisky to wash that down
Coming back from Kingley Vale, looking out over the Solent, Isle of Wight, Chichester Harbour. Been done before but always makes me realise what beautiful countryside we have near us.
Sailed past Isle of Wight a couple years ago on my last trip working lovely looking cliffs.

Am at BPW on Monday with a son. Looks like it's gonna be wet as f*ck. Should have some pics but doubt if any of them will be pretty. Just saying.
Early evening ride out of Rothbury into the Simonside Hills with my good buddy Wayne ( C'mon 10-4 ..Rubber Duck )..sorry couldn't help myself there..
Cracking little emtb mode ride which I did record ..( after remembering to switch on after 2 miles ..but forgetting to switch off until I travelled 20 odd miles home in the car ..
).
Some pics :
Wayne setting off on the super fast descent down to Hepple Whitfield
The wildlife bit next to the River Coquet ..
Cracking blast around and a canny pint in The Turks Head Rothbury afterwards
Hexhamshire Common next on Saturday..

Been up in the Cairngorms this week and at Tarland Trails the last couple of days. Seriously fast trails, really well designed. Well worth the trip
Glassie bike park tomorrow

Another spiffing jaunt last night on a 16 mile loop out of Rothbury in the Corquet Valley with my good buddy “Rubber Glove” sorry I couldn’t help that 
Fast trails very dry and throughly enjoyable. As always finishing off with a pint of the Black Stuff in the Turks.
Cheers mate.
That’s the Hodge strutting his stuff on the very fast, steep and loose drop down to Hepple Whitfield.

I love rain rides but we got caught in a pretty good downpour yesterday. Bike was a mess but still had a great time.

Not a good start 20 miles from home ping remembered i never took battery bolt. Got tape at Nairn so saved the day. Left Corrie Halie for Badralach the public Road ends there . Track to Scoraig and back. Some knarly bits on it but only walked forty metres max I reckon. Fell over edge twice putting foot down not the bike just me. Photo of Ullapool across the water 40 years ago I came over on a Raleigh Winner on a twelve foot boat the good old days. The Altnaharra Inn was at the pier then all shut now its a house. Strange place Scoraig no electricity it was wind and solar powered before we knew much about wind power 25 years ago maybe. Sixty folk their primary school as well Some weird little houses there no road in.so any car has been taken over by boat .Run out of water found a tap but forky tails coming out so got some at a village hall type place thats just left open for all to use.
Enjoy .
Enjoy .

A ride out of Whitley Chapel today on the moorland that makes up Hexhamshire Common with Ant, Jaco & Wayne ..the forecast was not too good with thunderstorms predicted ..but the weather was on our side and we only got caught in one heavy ish shower ..some lovely dry singletrack as we criss crossed the moors and it was great to be out ..
Ant on the first section of Singletrack
Followed by Jaco
Followed by Wayne
Don't ask ..
..
I didn't... but I think Wayne is getting his nuts untangled at our lunch stop after carrying a 7kg backpack ( he was keen to see how comfortable it would be with a spare battery )
Jaco on " The Broadway " ..which morphs into a very rocky / techy descent
Cheers lads ( and for the pint Wayne ) ..

borrowed a trek rail today and riding up in the mountains
No idea what you've written ( other than maybe you done a 108km ride..very impressive
)
Why is your bike dressed like it's going to a Toga Party ?? Is this some Scottish tradition relating to Roman history I'm unaware of ?
If it's for electronics protection, I thought someone like you would have an old wet suit you could cut up and keep the zip section so you can wrap it round the bike, zip up, voila !
I had had a few drams last night and there were a lot of sheep
sniffing about the van. And the usual German / Dutch bikers ???.PS
Just checked van no sheep just some droppings.
