Rode about 20 miles with the Mrs this afternoon, up Venus Woods then for a Naughty Armstrong toasted sandwich at the Cocking Down Cadence café. Yeah I know, Venus and Cocking makes us laugh too! 😂

This at the top of Venus Woods, always love this view over the South Downs.

I was thinking that the Merckx looks the business, coming over the the UK next year, is that and average sort of price for take away sandwiches/toasties or is that sort of a flashier sort of place? If it is think we will have to look at our budget a bit harder. :ROFLMAO:
I remember going to truck shop cafes and getting a full English breakfast, black pudding and all the works for a couple of quid. It was about 30 years ago but was figuring it would still be a bit cheaper than 8 pounds for basically a sandwich.

It's south of England and in an expensive area, but hospitality prices have hugely increased since lockdown.

South of England? France! 🇫🇷😎
Two bacon rolls and two teas in Dent Yorkshire a few weeks ago £22 . 50. Same everywhere now I think.
I am not Scottish but I would go on a spontaneous diet! 😒

Depends how "posh" you want to be ..
Bacon & Sausage bun & a regular Latte in Greggs ( outlets all over the UK) just over £3.00..slightly more " expensive" if you want it in a baguette..
Sausage & Egg McMuffin & a regular Latte at McDonalds..currently £2.69.
Both on the breakfast menu at each establishment prior to 11.00am ..
 
From the door this afternoon ..never more than 4miles away from home as the crow flies ..but in a forest this large you soon get the feeling of being out there and remote..
Bellingham Country Show this weekend and the show field is starting to come together ( which one is the beer tent ?) .

Into the forest ..up until a year ago this area was really only known to locals ..but Forestry England seem to be promoting it to a wider audience ( is nothing sacred 😡)

Some lesser known tracks with a hands & knees crawl through and a B/ way which was blocked after a couple of miles with a fallen tree ..

Part two found me on the Sandstone Way which disects most of Northumberland from Hexham to Berwick ..I cocked up slightly ( on purpose) and ended up on the Pennine Way and the excellent rock feature that is Shitlington Crags ..not before getting my feet wet on a river crossing too deep to ride ..

No Greggs or MaccieD in Dent though, as we know...

Doesn't stop you getting them en-route though! ;-)
No you have to put in to the local community . We can all make sandwiches etc before we go and i do most of the time , but you need to bite the bullet sometimes. It hurts but needs to be done sometimes.
