I had a great time at Whinlatter today and I quite surprised myself getting round the North red, the South Red and then blue in around 3.5 hours or maybe even a tad less. I am glad I did the blue as it was great fun but I have to say I had very little energy left in my legs so wasnt too quick.

Anyway, back at the cafe, and looking down to the bottom car park were four cars and a few lads with some very nice bikes. I was sure one of them was Chipps, but I would have felt a right idiot walking down, saying hello and then finding out it wasn’t.

I don’t know if anyone knows, but no harm in asking!

<shouts into the kitchen> Chipps? Were you there today?

<Chipps> Er No.

must have been Heston Blumenthal then.

Cheers Mark – good job I didnt go down then! I am not too sure why I was thinking it looked like a lot of blokes from a magazine about to review some new kit, but it did. And they must have been there for a good hour faffing away!

i was there, but you didn’t say hello to me either 🙁

That’s because you didn’t say hello to me 😀

Maybe it was Chipps’ double Kinky John?
