Four of us off to Edale camping sans bikes to do a bimble across Kinder Scout, followed by an evening of boozing and piss-taking in The Old Nag's Head - can't wait!
What 'adventures' have you got planned?
Check out the local Sunday market 🙂
Friday - Heading to Dent to see if my knee can bend and cope generally with some big climbs and rocky trails after gouging it at the Dyfi and having complex 'mattress sutures' . If I can't I will find consolation in the George and Dragon drinking Dent's finest ales and then supper and more ales.
Saturday - Popping down to Brum to collect a bike and then more beers at my sister's in Wolves - we'll be in the Newhampton Inn.
Sunday - Heading home to Lancaster to clear my garage post robbery for contractors to take away asbestos roof and put new steel roof on.

'Daddy watch this.... I'm going to cartwheel over the top of the sofa'

Indeed, already told Mrs R to forget a bbbq until its all over. Come on you Gunners!!!
Off today but doing lots of household jobs. Working Sat & Sun but off to QECP for the Enduro, possibly to race but more likely to be drinking beer, eating BBQ and heckling from the trail side.
I'd like to take the kids to Steel City DH to [s]heckle[/s] cheer. I'd also like to get out on my bike for a long sunny ride. I suspect I'm going to have to pick one of the other.
Shame the kids aren't old enough to ride over to Sheffield so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone 🙁

Pub lunch tomorrow for daughters birthday (Her idea).
Wild Boar chase on Sunday, then mother in laws for tea and cake 🙂
Kids school disco tonight, mates 40th tomorrow so BBQ & beer (all dayer 😕 ), Sunday - hoping to sneak a ride in at some point, the length of which will be inversely proportional to the amount of beer and dead animal consumed on Sat no doubt!
Took the day off today, lovely down here on the Kent coast. Been a busy bee; got my hair cut, mowed the lawns, done all the washing, tidied up the house, set up bird feeding area in the garden and been for a couple of pints at my mates micropub! Going for a run in an hour or two then out for beers tonight with mrs yoss. Buying some new running shoes tomorrow am and trying a 10k shortly afterwards. More beer tomorrow afternoon on the beach with plenty of paddling/swimming dependent on how cold the water is 🙂 more running, swimming and drinking on Sunday!
We'd be off to the beach for the weekend but daughter #1 has the National Schools Rowing Regatta next Friday so they are being dragged in to practice for 4 hours on both Saturday and Sunday (then she has to revise for exams in a couple of weeks) 🙁
I think daughter #3 has something going on in town with friends on Saturday as well come to think of it.
BBQ will be sparked up at some point though and I'm sure wife will be gardening.
I'll do a 10k on the rowing machine and maybe even a ride on Sunday morning!
Pub lunch tomorrow for daughters birthday (Her idea).
It was daughters #2&3 12th birthday last weekend so they took some friends bowling and then Pizza Express as we had some £70 worth of vouchers.
Left them to it when they had decided to have 5 pizza's between 10 of them. Came back to discover they'd had starters and the biggest pud on offer as well as extra drinks and had managed to spent £180!!
We had a 'discussion' about this when the friends had gone home 😡
Into Manchester to the Etihad for tomorrow's rugby fixtures as part of the Magic Weekend.
Beach on Sunday, I think. Formby or Ainsdale, not sure. We'll decide on the day.
Got myself a 4 tonne digger and dumper to play in the garden with, 😀 in reality i'm digging the drainage for the extension i built 5 years ago, so i can finally get it signed off by building control.
Hospital appointment tomorrow afternoon to tell me how much more my eyesight has deteriorated. 🙁
Beer tonight,/early dog walk ,/working Sat then beery dog walk ,/ then it is set rain on Sunday so roasted meats and wine ,/ oh I AM INJURED

Off to QECP for the Night Gravity Enduro. It's my first race, so I'm cacking myself! Somebody mentioned DUST!!!
Gardening (joy...) tomorrow morning and a bbq in the afternoon. Riding somewhere on Sunday. I'd try to squeeze in a local ride tomorrow morning too but the riding around Oxford really is not motivating!
Road ride, BBQ, Gardening
Woburn singletrack stuff was pretty decent last night! Not as good as the dh stuff (which is just such a mess right now) but still pretty fun. Road bike this/tomorrow evening then I'll do some more woburn exploration on monday evening to avoid the rush hour traffic. Can see this being a regular occurrence after early shifts!
Forest of Dean camping, cider and sunshine 🙂
Update, now pissed on real ale.
Three day weekend here!

The wife and I signed a temporary truce yesterday so that I could go and look at a van in Essex. It cost me a trip to Braintree Freport, but I can deal with that. However, we did have a very serious chat last night and things seem far better than they were at the beginning of the week.
With that in mind, I'm now booking our summer holiday and we're planning on doing a food festival/friends house for lunch and then a BBQ with the people across the road. We've also got some plants to get in the ground at the allottment.
Yesterday was a walk in the Chilterns. Wendover Woods. Not the most scenic but we had 3 dogs along
Then a BBQ with sister in Laws family
Mum over for Coffe this morning. Then Woburn with the in laws in a minute (biking st Woburn)
Had a lovely chilled weekend camping near Church Stretton. Sadly no bike, but lots of beer, food & beautiful weather. I'm sure I spotted some STW'ers too at the dragon and on our campsite
some great Live Blues/Jazz in the pub garden yesterday nursing sunburn and hangover today
Lovely 25 miler in the South Dales despite niggling injuries and discovering I'd left my helmet somewhere I shouldn't have. 🙂
Blinking lovely wasn't it 8)
Hope your legs hurt this morning. 😆
Yes mine hurt
Too ashamed to say how little biking was needed
Mock up of The Somme.
