Some f**kers have gone and vandalised the start of the latest new section. All of Scott’s hardwork in making the start rockgarden and post entrance has been torn down and chucked off the trail, signs removed from trees – gits. I suppose you have to come to accept that until things are more permanently settled in, things will get broken up from time to time, esp over school holidays.

Probably some member of the Purple Rinse brigade who are vehemently opposed to you doing this sort of thing in their wood. :twisted:

A double jump, so to speak –

seriously, where are you running over hippies?

Anywhere on Bellvue Terrace!!

I usually only ride in the evenings to avoid the dog walkers, and now I live down the southern end of the hills I dont have to worry much at all as long

And what’s up with dog walkers? Bloody conservator’s and dungaree wearing thespians are more of a pain, f******* hippies!!!!

“with alot of tracks being out of bounds” until after dark

Maybe, it’s hard to tell which are legal/cheeky trails when on the hills, one or two exceptions – clearly marked at the beginning, genrerally I find courteous riding doesn’t get anyone upset – if someone gets upset just apologies and eat humble pie.

There’s absolutely no riding to be had in Malvern :D What time are you looking at? :wink:

TBH, there’s loads of good riding on the Malverns, but it’s spread over a large / narrow area, with alot of tracks being out of bounds, but protected by the purple-rinse brigade, unfortunately.

jimster – The crane looks like this, a footprint of 16m x 16m, check out the JCB to the right of the photo. I assume that you were joking about a helicopter installation.

I did say install them in sections, or the unforrested section of the hill.

I am in favour of them, but looking at those pics there is alot of unforrested hillside that could have been used.

We have alot of NIMBY’s in this part of the world, the one complaint they have is they intend to instal “Super Turbine” within 1.6km of housing.

Ich bin in Munchen, Deutschland.

Have one in the Englischer Garten for me.

Surfing later?

The bottom photo shows (I think) quite clearly that we try to be as “keyhole” as possible when installing turbines. However the reality is that the installation cranes are huge and require a massive flat area to lift from.

If that’s keyhole I’d hate to have seen what would happen if you’d just chop it all down wily-nily!! 8O

Why not “lift” them in with a helicopter in sections or put them in the unforested section?

4 = voice

One that doesn’t go-on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on

MidlandTrailQuestGraham – you seem to have an awful lot of stuff stuck to your bike – what the?

Probably explains this thread, he jumps on and the frame just thinks “Stuff this!!!!” :oops:

DIY light bodge. Bit of fun. Will I die? …etc

Probably, can I have your bike / wine collection? :D

In Scotland – B******r :twisted:

SingleSpeed – Check
Cheeseboard – Check
HipFlask/Camra Membership – Check
Beard – Check
Location – Bugger!!!!!! :oops: Out of the country!!!!!! :oops:

Puts on Hugh Grant wig and runs aound saying “F****** f*** F***”

Get a Pit-Bitch

Well done to them all!!

And to their families who are going through the uncertainty of knowing where they are.

I think once the “season” starts the big boys are just topping up their fitness / recovery – most the training is done over the winter with base level mileage.

If the car’s SORN’d you don’t need insurance as it’s off the road. Put a wheel clamp lock or such like on it to make it unmovable. But as said, if it goes it goes.

Don’t forget to send the tax disc back, you’ll get a refund.

Like how the white guys don’t bother with hoodies!!

Listening to Radio 4 at lunchtime I had to laugh – Cable was there saying “We’ll catch all these criminals and punish them as seems fit”

The Police are having severe cutbacks, forensics won’t be paid for, govt were talking of scrapping CCTV, Prisons are overflowing/being closed – so what is the actual deterrent?

In the Job centre in Kilburn/London with the fecker behind the desk saying ‘so why are you here and what will you do to find work’?

Always nice to reply “Keeping you in a job, so thank me.” :D

I am thinking of getting an old steel frame Kona Conder cone or Lava dome for my BF

Can I be your BF? :wink:

I’d be inclined to go with an 18inch, I’m 5ft 11 and used to ride a 19inch – as Woodsman said, they had a very compressed main triangle with a long seat tube.

Sweet handling bike, gutted when mine died.

Yep, atm I’m running Kenda Nevegals on FS’er and WTB somethingorother on SS.

Keep onto the Police, ask the Chief Constable why you haven’t had a TF3, prosecutions for Road Traffic Accidents have to happen within 6 months of the accident.

Were there any witnesses other than yourselves?

IME, I was involved in a similar situation, had a busdriver who couldn’t give the number plate and as I was effectively the only witness. The Police managed to lose the 2 TF3s submitted so dropped the case – after the driver admitted he was driving the car.

Most importantly don’t get ranty with them, they’ll just drag their heels and so you were abusive towards them.

Bought MBR a couple of weeks ago, *hangs head in shame* and was quite pleasantly surprised, the format seemed to have changed and quite surprisingly Specialized was beaten by 4 of the 5 bikes it was up against!! 8O

Funny how the Beeb losing F1 is having such an effect on everyone.

I personally would love to see my national team playing the Aussie’s in the Rugby Union Autumn internationals, but guess what they’re on Sky, the same goes for the cricket.

It’s the way of the world people, money talks get over it!!

Had a look, not keen, stopped using it 3 or 4 years ago last time it changed.

Again I say – are you not suppossed to be clamping the seatpost?

Can you not just turn the 360 deg clamp 90 deg so that it’s vertical?

Love to try/train for a triathlon, but gippy pelvis means running is pretty painful.

So

Surfing
and um Surfing

Try stretching too, I used to get lower back pains and started doing lots of stretching – does help a hell of alot, along with core strength exercises.

Always liked the look of Cross Country Ski-ing.

Avoid Llangennith/Hill End, nice to camp near beach BUTthe world and his mother camp there, and the Kings Head has a captive audience.

Tip stay in-land, and head over to King Arthurs Hotel Reynoldston(sp)

Soul Music

Mrs just suggested beer,mmmm I’ll see if she can wait until 7 and get a quick hour-or-so blast.

Malverns, been a few days.

Aah, New Yankee Workshop, the Wurthers of the TV world.

Could’ve pointed the whole place in the same muck, and those flags look like it’s incomplete… IMHO :wink:

Anyone recommend me a guidebook for the region?

Cheers all for the info – looks like Mrs J won’t be seeing much of me during this fortnight.

Would anyone care to expand on “Yes”, what can i expect ot find up there, any suggested routes?

i think it’s an Alpaca, their wool is uber expensive

It is, my mom however knits Alpaca wool jumpers/cardigans for a woman with an Alpaca farm down in Lynton, North Devon.

Just thought I’d share that with you all…. :oops:
