This Thursday.
I wont be upto anything unfortunately but what are you guys upto?
Help me live vicariously!😁
Im going to draw the curtains and put the fire on
Ooh, last one I met up with a group of swimmers at the beach… swam and chatted, but I got cold cos I was the only one without one of those big warm changing blanky things, plus I’d ridden down there, so only had my riding gear to change into. Quite fancy doing that again, but being warmer and sitting about for longer.

Sounds pretty damned nice mate. Hope you get to do it again but stay a bit warmer. 👍
A couple of years ago I had plans for a 100 mile ride, dusk til dawn, starting and finishing at a big stone circle not far from mine.
And then the weather was rubbish. ☹️
Not sure I fancy it on a weeknight where I have to work Thursday and Friday though...
Quite a few years ago I cycled the south peak loop overnight. Seemed like a good idea, but I missed out the sights, what with it being dark for most of it.
Probably nothing this year as I'm full of cold ATM, but will try and do something at the weekend.
Heading to Gairloch for a couple of nights, not been for a while
I booked a Glentress weekender, especially due to it be the solstice. I think it's important to be out as much as possible at this time of year. Going to do the Glentress black on Saturday and then Innerleithen Red on Sunday.
Heading to Galloway on Thursday to meet old friends and sink a few drinks - followed by three days of riding pedal bikes. 😎
The best solstice I've ever had was a post work ski on Bheinn Ghlas. The looks on other walkers faces coming down off the hill on a warm, sunny evening in t-shirts and shorts to meet a group of us carrying skis, boards and sledges up a hill....
I’m getting an overnight ferry en route to the Alps! Whoop whoop!
Heading north to try and get 24 hour, round the clock skydiving in. If I am lucky, the plane will be fixed, otherwise I am going to hang out with some friends and take the road bike out.
I’m doing Brighton to Petersfield on the SDW. But at the weekend. And not the whole SDW. So, slightly half-hearted.
That reminds me, I must collect my goat leggings from the cleaners
If I remember, probably wander up here for the evening 🤔

I'll be attending the local sacrifice with a portion of chips (£2.50)
i will be trying to get some sleep in the body bank, prior to heading north on saturday for the RTTS.

Another one here, staying at an old pals near Carlisle and he's under strict instructions not to suggest the malt whisky. What could go wrong 🤔
This is the typical crustyness that happens on our local moor at the Nine Ladies stone circle - no camping or fires allowed, but then bikes aren't either and it's one of my favourite local riding spots, so hey ho....
Not sure if we'll go up for a look on Thursday or steer a wide berth
This is an anniversary best ignored, because it means the days are now getting shorter, which means we’re only weeks away from Sainsbury’s putting jars of luxury mince pie filling on the shelves
Pffff - its still 258 days until Shrove Tuesdays and yet theres already flour and eggs in the shops.
Same as always, realise its midsummer and quietly mutter something about the days getting shorter to myself.
Going to a gig, and will be pleasantly surprised when it's still light afterwards 🙂
Then like Dave, will remember that it is now going to get darker, earlier. 😕
Hopefully planning a ride/bivvy/ride somewhere in West Yorkshire. Location and type of ride/bike yet to be determined. Looks like there might only be 2 of us as several of our group have to get packed up / earn some domestic brownie points because they're heading up to Golfie for the weekend ...
FOD late night Thursday, burrito and cider for the win
Friday evening I'll be in Milngavie, setting up registration for the annual West Highland Way race and doing the runner briefing. So, that's a 96 mile ultra marathon that starts at 0100 Saturday; between Friday morning and Sunday afternoon, there will be very little sleep indeed. Around 220 runners should be on the start line, with their individual crews ready to meet them at the various checkpoints. I'm the responsible adult, allegedly. Safety officer and chief medic, so will have a field hospital facility set up with my team at the finish line in Ft Bill from lunchtime Saturday until after prize giving finishes and around 170-180 of those runners have collected their engraved crystal goblet. There's a wee party afterwards, for anyone still awake...
Good job highlandman,these things don't happen without a lot of work.
Hope the weather's kind.
