'fish'?

And yes, thread of the year. So much good stuff

With postimg is it not possible to use the direct link to the image rather than the embed link for forums.  It seems to work better

Im still recovering😎

Canals and wee roads today. Met the big man and he rode with me for a good few miles today and expertly guided me on a maze of paths. A pint of course. Im now camped up near Shelby I think. Wherever the flip that is🙄

Really wnjoyed riding the canals today and yesterday.

Pity you’re in Selby TJ, got a nice Garlic Chilli Chicken on the go in Boroughbridge.
Doubt if you’ll be in Selby on Monday but Lola’s Garden on Station Rd does awesome breakfasts. Keep up the good work, everyone’s loving your travels!

Junction 48? Yeah, I reckon it would waft 1/2 a mile if the wind’s in the right direction.
Call in next time.

Sorry I missed TJ passing ST Towers. I was busy paddling down the Colorado. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds. You have to pee in the river and poo in a tin that has a vent tab you have to pull before you open it.

What a brilliant pic to see the big man himself looking so well in retirement.

Hope you enjoyed the Yorkshire hospitality, TJ. Now **** off back to Scotland 🙂

Is it just me, or has this thread made everyone else just want to get out and start meeting people again?

Honestly TJ, I'm sure your Mrs would be so proud of you.

Love to all.

Please tell me yours is the smiley hedge house?

Annoyingly I'd turned down beer and a bed in Innerleithen to go home to Mrs brain, only to get home and be greeted by "I think I might have covid so you're sleeping on the spare room"

Is it just me, or has this thread made everyone else just want to get out and start meeting people again?

Yes, but then I'll get out and start meeting people again and they'll make me want to stay home and avoid people again. And I'll blame tj.

More importantly though I'm guessing given you're in Selby you'll be straight over to Hull, after you've met up with Julie's family?

Haha! That’s the world (Boroughbridge) famous Hedgy. He even gets dressed up for special occasions.
We’re further down opposite the garden centre.

So they made you feel right at home?

That made I laugh.

No, it's just you. Weirdo.

Yep.  Seems better now

I'm super curious but in this case pics of the tin aren't necessary

Im also not booked on a ferry either. Dont know if there is space on one

The Ferry will be fine for space just avoid Fridays and maybe Saturdays. Used it a few weeks ago. You are directed to the middle of the car deck, loads of space for (motor) bikes and trailers. You kinda have to accept P&Os employee relations strategy though ..... Still its a glorious way to travel and the cycling paths in the Netherlands were amazing - better than our roads. Top tip follow the cycling diversions in the Netherlands. Usually I would just ignore them in France etc - In the Netherlands if it says no bridge it literally means no bridge....Good Luck great Cake and beer ahead.

I think Hannah crapping in a bucket deserves a thread of its own, on a forum that I am not a member of.

You'll need the online planner for Netherlands

Just note the node numbers as a list and cycle between them. Or grab GPS route from the planner.

STW is missing a subscription tier, all I got offered was a bag of coffee.

All the best TJ mate.

I think that's a genuinely lovely thing to do, TJ. Enjoy it in a weird way, and Well Done all round on the trip.
This thread def needs a thumbs-up button.

Wishing you courage today, Julie's aura will help you remember all the time you had together.

I rode down to Carolyn's grave after tea, just sat in peace having good memories.

Only thing was its a 2 mile climb back up to her parents and I was riding a borrowed bike that's too small for me. I was a right sweaty mess 😮

Well I took her home. Walked around the village where she grew up. Saw the cricket ground where she learned to love cricket and scattered some ashes in the woods she played in as a kid.

Back on the road again heading east. Dont think i can make tonights ferry. Ill stop again in a couple of hours and have a ponder.

Ta chaps. Im still bemused by the interest but its a good ego boost1😎😀

Great to hear you're in Julie's childhood home.
You're halfway through the day now and we're all behind you in wishing you luck to get through the rest.

nbt will probably flush my ashes down the loo, when I pop off :0(
