Hmm,I think he’s paid a visit to North Wales not too long ago, so he could be in with a chance :-)

Perhaps there should be a ” Elfin does a Peaks Pootle ” ride, just to get him in the fresh air for a bit. :wink:

You been trying to shove trees out of the way Sambob? :wink:
Bunnyhop, yes a new recipe to inflict on Pootlers, also a spicy Mexican version of Lancashire Bhaji’s to try out. :P

Bunnyhop, you have a lie in and you’ll miss out on the Cheesecake chocolate brownies. :wink:

Right, time to re-dress the balance a bit with all these photo’s of Scotchland.
Here’s one of the Grande Massiff de Cheshire :P
In direct line of sight from the camera to my bar end, Winter Hill is 28 miles away, line of sight between camera and the pile of rock to the right of my bike, the Wind Turbine Farm at Ramsbottom is 30 miles.

On the little laminated notices that were there a few weeks ago, logging was due to stop on 30th this month according to fc.
The tracks where the harvesters have been on Hatchmere side have got a lot of potential sweepy , bermy , jumpy opportunities when they settle down a bit (ahem!).Still like riding down a freshly ploughed field at the moment though :?
All will come good in the not too distant future I’m sure, with the help of a few months of winter weather on it.

I’ll be there . :-)

Sanny, 12 to 14 hours 8O where you stopping overnight at ? :wink:

Sanny, here’s a few more you’ll recognise. :P

I ued to have Neo-guards on all my bikes, then tried a Mucky-nutz, and found them to be far more effective. Very little crap around your fork seals, no tyre buzz, just fit and forget.
HTH. :wink:

Just make sure your wallet is well stocked !

I’d better go and buy some Tinsel then :P

Thanks for that nbt, see you on the 18th. :wink:

DONK,that’ll mean no more axle deep swampy-ness on the Moors though ! Hmm, no bad thing then, bring on the frostiness please :P

You’re not wrong there mate! It was hard to tell at times yesterday, was it the fog, my glasses fogging up or a mix of the two ! You need to pre-book the weather for the next one please :wink:

Whadya mean ? OK, I’ll give you Saturday was nice, it was like this on the Hills above your house yesterday though :?

And it was raining at 6.30 this morning for the ride into work, the difference a bit of mileage makes eh? :P

Thanks for that Matt, I think you need to re-calibrate your compooter / GPS
See you on the next one !

18 miles ? Pfft, my little legs reckon at least another 10 on that !
Bunnyhop, check your email tomorrow, re recipe.

Does any one have an idea of how many miles we did to-day? ( nowhere near as many as Donk though :-) )

Thanks to all for a great ride today, pretty hard to see where you’re going with fogged up glasses riding in fog 8O See you all soon. :-)

Todays Turbine.

Same Turbine from more or less the same place.

nbt, you’ll be taking you’re prezzy home . It’s not to be done on a school night :wink:

You should know by now, you’re first in the line to try new cake, tell nbt I have a prezzy for him !

Gniffer, that’s cheating, you’re supposed to make them yourself ! :-) Got a new one to try out on willing volunteers on Sunday . ” Blondies ” think white choc versions of Brownies with Macademia nuts and apricot .

Tea was, Smoked Haddock with cheese and Leek sauce, mashed spuds and peas, drink will be a rucksack full of these drunk at my mates, whilst robbing some of his lads Limp Biscuit collection for ripping to mp3. :oops:

Here you go. GD on a 456 Summer Season, well worth it. I’ve only had to replace the remote cable in over 12 months of use,no problems apart from that. :wink:

Nice one Binners, I’ve not yet been over that way, also a chance to get some decent bottled Beer in to dull the pain of Xmas tv. :D

I’ll be there. Binners, time for a Rammy ride before Xmas, baked goods will be provided . :-)

I’m still in. If it’s going to be sort of a Turbine ride, are we still starting from the same place, or in Ramsbottom near the Brewery ? ( just a thought ! )

We were there on Saturday Rik, and you are right. It’s a right mudfest at the moment,good fun in a sideways, speedway style ! Hope your son had a great first Birthday .

Just do it, you will not be sorry :D

How about a Oz Pootle? :P

One from the original Pink Heifer at CYB,OTB on the bit that dropped you down onto some armco fencing via a loose scree run of dog ends of slate :P

I’m in :P I’ll fire up the Lacashire Bhaji Oven on the Saturday. :wink:

Here’s my Raw Finish Summer Slacker :wink: with under top tube cable guides, and I’m not shortening the remote release for the GD, cos it’ll be too short to go either of my full sus frames then :P

Give these a try

Thanks very much sharki, it’s a good job nobody was feeling brave enough to eat Eric :lol: then as they could have been looking for a toilet not long after :oops:

Bunnyhop, couldn’t tell you what the taste was like, no-one would volunteer to have a taste. :P . I was only just pulled out of the way in time or it would have been the flattened version :oops:

Another spider web one, this one was at Newcastleton on Friday morning.

A coral fungus AKA Antler fungus, taken in Drumlanrig Forest.

Thanks very much for that^^^^,pity we didn’t know then it was edible :oops:

Thats quick! Thanks very much tazzymtb :wink:

I’ll guess at a 456 Summer Season, and if I win, it’s yours Binners cos it’ll be too big for me :P
