Underworld, Public Service Broadcasting, and Jean Michel Jarre at Bluedot Festival for the bargain day ticket price of £35 and then Northern Grip a mile down from the road me in Ramsbottom. All with great weather

Except I missed it all and have been inside a red hot factory all day due to it being our annual works shutdown/holiday which means I have to work 3 full weekends unpaid.

I'm majorly pissed off.

Please rub it in my saying how good both events have been.

Northern Grip was fantastic yesterday. Brilliantly organised, and just had a fantastic atmosphere. Lots of happy, smiling people on bikes, in the sunshine.

Check out the footage of [url= https://m.facebook.com/northerngrip/ ]Mr Wilsons Second Liners[/url] on their Facebook page! Absolutely brilliant!

Everyone is off for a big ride over Cragg and Lee shortly, after a big breakfast at the Eagle and Child 🙂

Edit; it's just started raining. If that makes you feel a bit better? It wouldn't ne a weekend in Rammy without it really! 😆

It was mint. The East Pointers who played on Saturday morning were awesome 😀 That Bunny Hop beer is ferocious 😆

I spent the morning cleaning rust from the inside of a 3500litre pressure vessel. Unpaid.

Still better than eating bacon butties at the Eagle&Child and slogging over the moors. That would have been a rubbish way to spend a Sunday....

Jodrell looks rubbish lit up in Eno's installation, glad I missed it.....

and Mrs Wilsons Seconds Liners - there is no way I would have been dad dancing to them at all....

Northern Grip was great.The riding was great,some lovely singletrack,the sun shone,unexpected bonus was the sausage rolls at the Peel Tower 😆
Nice to finish the day off having a few pints of Bunnyhop having a good socialise with the Wilsons playing.
We camped at the Paddock & we'll be back next year,can someone book the sunshine again?!

Did any of you see Musaic play today? A friend's folk band, some of them based around Todmorden too.

Northern Grip was fatastic - one of the funniest and most random bike events i've ever been to

Mr Wilsons Second Liners were incredible 🙂
