Old school metal canal bridge. I was told by a grizzled old canal guy that the slot that runs right through the bridge was to allow the rope that was attached to the horse that was pulling the barge to pass through the bridge without having to unhitch the horse from the barge, as the towpath does not go under the bridge.
Weird you bumped into @The Hodge !
It wasn't me ..I can be a little bit forgetful..but I'm pretty sure I would remember being with Bill talking to the grizzled old canal guy

You could research the air speed velocity of an unladen Swallow …both European and African. …you never know?It wasn't me ..I can be a little bit forgetful..but I'm pretty sure I would remember being with Bill talking to the grizzled old canal guy
You'd have to know the prevailing wind direction firstYou could research the air speed velocity of an unladen Swallow …both European and African. …you never know?
HmmmYou'd have to know the prevailing wind direction first
. And what about tornadoes or a butterfly taking flight. This is not easy.

A quick 30 min ride around my section. Then I let her sunbathe for a bit.
Does your name mean a can of fish or that you can't fish
Off topic as usual. Not a good feeling being misplaced. One I remember well was walking on top of Craig Meagaidh 2 pm on a dull November day . I had walked in a complete circle A certain part of my body was twitching. Before mobile phones were invented ,cloud cleared and I saw a wee loch all was well.
Another mile stone today, well 2000 of them. And so tempted to go in for a big breakfast and a pint of Guinness but I resisted.

That's worth a wee celebration then.Yep.
Long time since I stayed in Killin, I seem to remember a youth hostel. SPICY or pricey

can of fish, notably tuna. Although I'm equally partial to sardines or mackerel.Does your name mean a can of fish or that you can't fish
It's not a Specialized ! You don't have the change motors like tyre sealant ..
Myself & Wayne might dispute that as neither of us got anywhere near 2k on our first motors ( also Bosch on a Whyte )..both of us on motor no.3 and if history repeats itself if one goes the other will soon follow
Just to remind you gentlemen Hodge Towers holds a certain dress code ...so you'll be absolutely fine

That’s fantastic, hope mine lasts that long.Motor no.1 with no issues. What am I doing wrong
Young Astro is out from the USA, so it was time to introduce him to Libby and Meredith ....... 
We conquered a Mountain ........ Well a Hill ....... Ok. Let's call it a big rock ..........

Decided against joining the lads today for their Walna Scar trip ..from the moment it was mentioned a while back ..I've done it a few times and it just don't float my boat ..but Wayne in particular has it as one of his favourite routes ..we are all different ..
I did however meet up with Wayne for brekkie at Southwaite Services with the intention of riding at Whinlatter Trail Centre ( and to pick up my rear wheel which he had kindly replaced the cassette on ) ..but talked myself out of that too in favour of something close to home ..so another Kielder ride ..which turned out to be rather wet ..not raining as such ..just wet ..
Good little ride though ..and the new cassette married to the newish chain, chain ring & jockeys seemed to make a big difference
Hope you Lakeland riders survived / had a great ride
Enjoy your stay over tonight ..
