Must say though, thanks very muchly to xherbivorex for showing me round the riding at Phillip Park. I am very impressed. It was a brilliant evening on some rather stunning local gems. I ride ‘small local stuff’ all over the UK when I get chance (thanks to work travels) and can honestly say this is one of my favourite places I have seen so far. I just love the feel of the place, and the trails were very well constructed. Can’t wait to get back!

It was a great evening, nothing like splashing about in the rain, seeing urban foxes, toads, rabbits, graveyards, not ending up on the M60 hard shoulder/in a river – all whilst the rest of the world were stuck in front of the telly. 😀

We’ve just got really good pubs up here too. That serve home-made pies, that beckon to us with their siren calls, gradually wearing down our usually hardened steely northern resolve. Ahem…. thats my story and I’m sticking with it 😛

Did you get to the pub?

the pub?
we were stood outside it for a bit.
personally, i don’t think i’d have got in with the amount of mud that was on my clothes, i was caked with the stuff!

I got to a Travelodge

Does that count?

It depends. Did you bring your own plate?

No probs

I managed to get off work early just I’ve just been out on a local loop. Was a good sunset as well.

No wildlife apart from some guy walking his dog in the pitch black in the middle of the fields. Don’t know who was most surprised, him, the dog or me 😯
