Studies to investigate earlier studies give a ringing coin in the coffers and is big business.

Too late .. I showed the video to the camp of friendly ‘travellers’ who are parked a few miles away…… they are on the way, should be there tomorrow. Happy to help.Mate ..what are you doing ?
First rule of being a Northumbrian ..dont show our world class beaches to the Southern hordes ..for fear of a tourist invasion..
You need to re-visit the rule book again ..
Yes a pity your still not biking yet, heading South tomorrow who knows where I will end up.
I see some of that up my way not sure what it is though. There's a lot of rape seed oil fields just nowApparently this crop is grown as a subsidy for farmers & will be ploughed into the ground in a month or so.

Guy I rode with today is a lecturer at an agriculture college, so knows this stuff. It's less mad than it appears, first it gives farmers a guaranteed income so not subject to the markets, it's to encourage bee populations & lastly, rejuvenates the soil for next year when it will be wheat or oilseed rape or whatever.
Also the hottest day of the year & he forgot his water bottle ha ha.

Managed to grab a couple of hours on the bike from home this afternoon ..
1.5 miles from the door into the south eastern tip of Kielder Forest ( Pundershaw ) to take in some tracks which I hadnt ridden in a while ..good to see that they werent overgrown which in a forest this vast ( 250sq.miles ) can very easily happen ..
Just to the left of the tree the hill in the very far distance is Deadwater Fell at Kielder...15 miles away ..
On zoom..
The house at Allerybank ..now powered by solar panels ( previously a generator) ..its literally in the middle of the forest with nothing else for miles around ..
A few years ago I was offered the use of this house whenever the owners who lived in Yorkshire werent using it themselves as a security measure ..didnt really fancy the responsibility ..so passed up on the offer ..its since been sold to new owners ..and as can be seen is a work in progress ..
The bridleway next to the house was tough going and needs a trim !
Managed to plough on and just missed 2 mins of the Championship playoff final ..
Well done Hull city ..tough way to lose Boro in added time ..
P.s Can we buy Hayden Hackney off you now ..he wouldnt need to move home

Do Deadwater red route ..then follow on with the Osprey Trail ( Blue) .( Im not including the Downhill section on Deadwater)
Call in to the Bike Hire shop for advice which is opposite the Castle .
You will enjoy the blue ..it has a fair chunk of forest road after the initial singletrack to link up to the remaining (singletrack) but the final sections have some of the finest flowing trails in the entire forest before spitting you out onto the Lakeside Way which you follow back to the Castle ..
Osprey is about 13 miles ..if you have any battery left and are still feeling fit head over to the other side of the valley and tackle Skydive go directly up the fire road following the signs for the observatory ..
Hope you enjoy it ..and apologies that Im unable to join you ( I wish I could but Im working )
Looking forward to it just need to survive Glentress tomorrow a long time since I was there.
Out of town with my girl on the bikes this weekend. Rode out to Mt Hay and Butterbox Canyon. Very pretty area. Also toodled around Leura and other parts of the Blue Mountains.
Out in the Lakes today (unsuccessfully) trying to avoid the hordes of tourists. Gentle ride from Hardknott through Eskdale and then not so gentle through Miterdale forest to Tongue Moor then around Burnmoor Tarn. On my own so cautious on the descents.
I went to a strange place to ride with a friend's guide. Lots of rocky routes and steep rolls. As you can see from the last picture, it was a bit exciting in some parts 
Yes I met a lad at Fochabers I knew so played along for about half mile a climb but yes boring as anythingGiving a guy from work a tour around Kirkhill today. Was good to have company for change, although it was weird climbing at non ebike speed

Nice AI bike
XC riding around a lake and in a wooded field, as we call the products of forest factory. They have nothing to do with a real natural forest.
Theres some steep hills in them there parts ..we do a ride out of Westgate a couple of times a year which gives us range anxiety most times
Well least the views there are worth it.Theres some steep hills in them there parts ..we do a ride out of Westgate a couple of times a year which gives us range anxiety most times
