I'd quite like a bit of a solstice epic.. maybe even watch the dawn from a prominent hilltop.. I like to try to mark the summer solstice in some way cos it's also my birthday..

Not gonna happen this year though unfortunately due to one thing and another..

However, I've managed get a pass for a Leo Sayer tomorrow.. and I'd like to think that I can drag myself from my pit at 3.30am for the climb up to Haytor to watch the dawn.. but after 3 months of doing the nightshift with our new son I'm shattered, so it remains to be seen if I've got the minerals to go through with a cold dark start tomorrow morning..

If not, I'll still be heading out at some point to bimble across the moor 'til my legs get tired.. say hello if you see me.. ๐Ÿ™‚

argh, another year, another missed solstice ride!

only ever managed one about five years ago, it was very strange as I didn't go to bed before and we'd drunk a bit, then rode for 6hours, and what would normally be saturday morning breakfast time was actually 30hours awake sleep sleep time.
