I can't do this now (I can't seem to remember saying I would be, but I more than likely did), so I may need removing from that list. Unless 'James' is in fact somebody entirely different to me, 'james' ..

possibly bringing the camera, depends on how many goodies I'm putting in my bag.....chocolate/sweets vs camera???

I've just got a pass.
Is it ok for me to come out to play, too?

Posted 2 years ago #
becky_kirk43 - Member

I'm afraid I'm definitely off the list. The wrist still isn't up for it, just about managing some gentle road rides, and going to have a little play on Sunday if I can but I think I'll struggle, even with a pootle, in the the peaks
