Eberdoom I know it well. Started work there at 15 as a apprentice trawlerman. 1970. Some place then 50 miles from me.I have a son living in Aberdeen and a daughter living near Stirling. I do get reports.
Not much for views here but I thought I’d go for a winter ride before the 25% Tariff was imposed on our weather …
…but he doesn’t realize that Canada
controls the weather.
Moahahaha

When I lived in Courtenay BC, Vancouver Island (most of my life), we had an annual race there called “Snow-To-Surf”.
DH Ski, Cross Country Ski, Mountain Bike, Road Bike, Half Marathon, Canoe, and finally a swim.
There was always a big party at the end of the race in Comox, BC. Good times
Yeah but we have bog snorkelling!

I wouldn't have posted that pic ..you look to have waaay more than your fair share of the white stuff..
If Plump sees that it could go to a 50% tariff..and Mexico could get the wrong idea as to what that white powder really is ..the whole world economy is teetering on the brink ..

, now that I think about it,…ended kinda early, 1:00 pm.A mass start at 8:00am by numerous teams stating high on Mount Washington ski hill. I think 7 athletes per team. Some pro teams from as far away as Australia. I did the road bike portion one year.
If you could still walk straight, you could play a round of golf in the afternoon.
We liked the social and reunion festivities after the race instead.

Definitely Hardcore socializing. I had to stop a few times for a break.…and needed a nap afterwards.
If you mean the race? 125 teams with 7 athletes for each team. Volunteers, spectators and athletes. A lot of people!

That's pretty much the temp here and it's the middle of our summer!!
Movie line quote.
Did you know, Putnam, more people are murdered at ninety-two degrees Fahrenheit than any other temperature? I read an article once - lower temperatures, people are easy-going. Over ninety two, it's too hot to move. But just ninety-two, people get irritable.

Having been told that part of the new Downhill section was complete at Kielder( by a main man at Forestry England) ..I was skeptical but needed to see for myself ..( on the old 3 
descent)....
My skepticism was well founded as I saw a digger in action just along from Three Dog Climb and two trail builders at the top of this section confirmed that they had completed 3/4 of the track with work ongoing ...
The intention is to create the longest downhill track in England ( not the UK) ..so while this section is nearing completion there is still months of work to do before that becomes reality.
From what I could see ..(which was limited ) there are some " interesting " rock features ..( which will have cluck cluck options)& huge berms ....looking good .
Some other pics ...
Brilliant weather at Kielder ..but freezing cold weather at home in Bellingham which can be seen by the cloud inversion at the top of the pic ( 12'o clock ..zoom in ) ..
Deadwater in the distance ..where the Downhill work is taking place ..
3dog climb on Deadwater
Snack stop looking down over Kielder Village ..and the " Into The Valley " section..
Deadwater summit
The Cheviot 815m ( an extinct volcano) ..on max zoom and some 30+ miles away
Nice pootle 21.5miles with 3,500ft+ ascent
Edit: Just thought I'd add this link which has just appeared in our local Evening Chronicle ..

The Northumberland lake people think abandoned villages lie beneath
Kielder Water in Northumberland is the largest man-made lake in northern Europe and the reservoir has long been the subject of local folklore

weather dependent
Is that the brand new trail that there building or revamping an old current one
A mate sent a video from the summit of Ben Nevis yesterday and it was glorious sunshine.
But he had to wait 3 days for the rain to stop
