20 mile bimble across Kingley Vale, unlike last year's quagmires everywhere has dried out. Pic is looking towards The Trundle in the distance.

Just a bit further on (going west) there are burial mounds known as The Devil's Humps, pass these on my right.

Unless yer jockish or paddy
Yeah I can understand why..
That looks like it needs pouring straight down the sink !
What is it ?
Aye but you got soppy at the song about the Tortoise
remember. First time I heard Old Shep boy did I cry and when I hear Nobody's Child it still tugs a bit.How did they manage to keep a straight face
It's not just the Canucks, Jocks, Paddies, the Germans can make you squirm too... And they record them so you can play them back at home! 
I suppose after the first drink, things don't sound so bad!

When I go away with a walking club im in for the weekend its usually to a hut. If Fiona is there she likes to have a good fiddle . I'm off in a fortnight to one and she will be there , but I'm taking a tent and putting the earplugs in.It's not just the Canucks, Jocks, Paddies, the Germans can make you squirm too... And they record them so you can play them back at home!

Not so fast…pump the brakes dare eh! That could be a Clam-Eye. If it’s American it would be a Red-Eye. (Which is gross
imo)Clamato juice is also used in Ceasar’s, which can be a substitute for food during any meal.

The older the fiddle the better the tune .Fiona likes to have a good fiddle. Is it your birthday on that trip.
A fantastic ride of two halves yesterday with @The EMF ( Wayne) starting at Edmundbyers, Lead Mining Trail ..or as its more commonly known the " Bolts Law Route" .
The reason for the "two halves" is that both Wayne & myself are firm believers at missing out tarmac sections wherever possible and done as a full circular route this has a good 5.5km of road climb from Baybridge ..so on a( " summers " 14c high) day like yesterday where wet clothing isn't an issue ..a there & back to the top of Bolts Law and beyond to the Rookhope road ..then a short car journey to do the loop from Blachland / Slaley Forest / Carriers Way is a much preferred option.
Although mainly dry there was still a fair amount of slop to contend with particularly on the first half of the route..which made traction interesting both ways ..
I've a mixture of pics from both Wayne & myself ..
Trig point & Cairn on Bolts Law ( 540m )
The return from the far side of Bolts Law ..
Pics from the Slaley Forest loop..inc some "off piste" ..
Wayne's pics ..
Oh ..almost forgot ..a rather interesting stump of a felled tree ..
..which for reasons best known to itself my bike decided to deposit me on top of ..
It only hurts when I laugh
.
An amazing day out all the same ..cheers Wayne ..and for the pint in The Manor House to end things in style

A throughly enjoyable day out my friend. TBH I was expecting more gloop!

As did I on Wednesday. Tempted to take the rear Mudhuggers off but next few week's weather looking more unsettled/wetter...
A ride in the mountains. The Domain still holding out and coping well..the Focus Sam2 is built like a tank so it is still going strong. I always wonder how a Fox 38 Float will do since the more premium version of this bike came out with that. What I'm after is a bit more adjustability for the variety of terrains. It's still fine though - maybe I just keep it for another year or two.
The Andreani SuperMousse is also doing well and have had zero issues.
