Probably a Dakota Asterix.

’twas bigger than than a DC3 and flying a bit faster, but I don’t know what it was

Seen a couple of common or garden doggers but apart from that… cant even remember the last time I saw Hedge porn.

Seen all the usual wildlife, BIG deer, badger, owls and whatnot.

Oh! I did get VERY close to a Wild Boar riding in Germany once.

Saw a naked rambler on the Quantocks once.

About 5 naked sunbathers on the beach today.

All male and all over 70.

The next naked septuagenarian that I see had better be my reflection!!!

Not on a bike, but skiing in guess where…. Cannock. Stopped by a sentry while three canoes crossed the path at high speed.

…..proper dwarves on mini mountain-bikes… 😀

Oh, and about the goat..I was holding it for a friend.

I once startled some illegal immigrants on a trail in the new territories in Hong Kong. They ran off in the direction of some Gurkhas who I had just passed, who gave me a friendly wave and said mind how you go.

Also in Hong Kong and mor than once…snakes warming up themselves on the path.

I saw a man giving another man the heimlich manoeuvre on the climb alongside the railway on tunnel hill. At least that’s what it looked like. Seemed to work though because he recovered really quickly and they both ran off very fast. Quite why their trousers had fallen down, I’m not so certain.

Not really that unexpected given I was riding on the Pilgrims way in Kent today and saw a large group of , er, pilgrims! Thought the sermon over the loud hailer was a bit unnecessary. Hellfire and damnation didn’t fit with the warm sunny day really.

But the really strange thing was meeting a fellow cyclist who turned out to be the bloke who defended McVities in court with their claim that Jaffa Cakes are indeed a cake, and won. Hence no VAT. What a great bloke!!!

I’ve remembered one.
last year ,coming into Tottenham marshes on the Lea canal there was a battered old barge.
It was noon and masses of alternative lifestyle types were still in the throws of last nights poisons .
People were dancing,fornicating,defecating & urinating within yards of the barge ,which was bouncing!
I had to laugh .
Apparently , due to the Olympics/security loads of barge folk had been moved out of sight of the Olympic park.

Man eating Birdseye Potato Waffles straight from the packet, sat on a park bench around the corner from a supermarket. I had no idea just how waffly versatile they are.

Maybe a bit dull compared to the exotic sights above, but on the high peak trail last Friday, warm, humid and still. Got to the short tunnel under the A515 near Parsley Hay and it had a layer of mist in it. Never seen anything like that. Breeze picked up while we were in the pub and it had gone when we got back.

Week last Wednesday, 2 Apache gunships flying low over Ladybower.

Also passed a couple of teenagers banging away on a bench recessed into the shrubbery. Don’t think either of us saw the other coming. 🙂
