In fact, its dangerously close to the Yorkshire border. Best be careful we don't stray into the badlands. They'll do to us what the Iranians did to those sailors a few years ago

Anyroad up..... We will be having a bit of a pootle over Blackstone Edge from Hollingworth lake. If you'd care to join us, then come along. We'll be meeting at 7.30 (ish) at the Hollingworth Lake visitor centre/car park, here:

Beers will be quaffed at the pub by the lake post ride. Everyone welcome. Come on down

I'd join in but I'm supposed to be resting, etc. Have a good one though. If it stays clear you should get a great view of tonight's meteor shower up there.
