Pic of the Day

[Zimmerframe]

Looks a bit boggy ..watch you don't fall into one of those peat hags ..you won't be able to swim out of those ..?

That's probably the idea .. Jump in with his bag of chips and bottle of beer for a wallow and swallow ....

Now I'm reading that I can't help but think it seems very wrong ....

• Saw a Bear up here yesterday about 100' away.

.....

I was out with my mate and he was just ahead of me. When we got to the end of the descent, he said "Did you see that fox with a hedgehog in its mouth!" Errr, that would be no, because your bloody great heavy bike scared it off!

Hedgehogs are becoming rare in the UK. I reckon that sighting scores more points than your Bear!

PS: Great PIc!

A few years ago we were asked to recover the body of a walker who had gone missing from Ambleside 8 months before.

A farmer was riding his quad bike across the boggy bottom of the little upland valley to check his fence and spotted a walking boot sticking out of a boggy pool next to the fence.

When we pulled him out he was wearing his rucksack and was still holding a Wainwright guidebook.

He had obviously been climbing over the fence, lost his balance and had fallen head-first into the pool and drowned.

Not the usual type of bog body you hear about.

The moral of the story is take bogs seriously, especially if you are out by yourself.

Good job you found him, as he may have been found in another 1000 years and it would have been another Lindow man ?

Even their arses are clean!

 

[RustyMTB]

Following Etoni is like going on after the Stones but I'll give it a go anyway. Definitely a two battery slog today.

Anyway, your rules ain't for me, Daddio.

The irony is, I looked high and low for skittles. "All the colours of the rainbow" ?

On a more serious note.....given the choice I’d much prefer Heather on the moor to Pete in the bog ??

I love these pics etoni, brings back great memories of a couple of road trips out of Avoriaz in the heart of the Portes de Soleil in France I did many years ago.
We managed to reach the drop in on the Swiss National DH after about 5 or 6 lifts and rode all the way into Champery Switzerland then the huge near virtual lift out of Champery to ride the trails back to Morzine.
best days trail riding I’ve ever done.

Another corker of a ride in the Eastern Cheviots starting from Wooler town centre ..taking in Wooler Common , Broadstruther ,Langlee Crags, Threestone Burn, Ilderton & back to Wooler ..cant remember the last time I did this ride ..but its is on one section where I first met my riding buddy of the day ( Nick) while he was having a nap from his riding on a hot summers day about 25 years ago ..we've been mates ever since ...
His first ride since a heavy fall a few weeks back where he bust his ribs ..
A few pics ( more than I've posted recently !)

19.3miles / 3,020ft climbing

It's a classic Cheviot moorland ride ..?

I hit a bog here in Wales once while doing a fair lick of speed.. fortunately for me, it wasnt fatal
