The GR 20 on Corsica , the GR 5 from Geneva to Nice and the Pyrenees Haute route are all fantastic mountain treks.

In Spain the Picos de Europa offers a great mix of high mountain and low level trekking.

For a flattish low long distance route – The Romantic Road in Germany from Wurzburg to Fussen (Austrian Border) is good.

For a more chilled trip go Island hopping in Croatia.

Oh dear…someone wasn’t happy when they got home last night!

Lets hope he/she is a forum member!!

I think Roberts is one of the reasons Burgess is included. Strong defence and a good organiser.

SCAM!! Run away.

Or have some fun?

The problem with traveling overnight through the Alps is you miss the views.

I’d treat that journey as a day out and travel during the day.

Just my tuppence worth.

How about something like this?

Who has hacked C-G’s account? That comment really doesn’t sound like her!

This sounds like an explanation.

I was going to ask her what difference riding in Swinley Forest makes to this issue.

Time constraints must be pretty serious if they require a rider to push past kids (or anyone) in a rude and dangerous manner.

Lets hope these rider don’t ever get punctures or even crash. That would totally mess with the all important time constraints!

Maybe some fast rider only days are whats needed to accommodate the impatient?

Some people have time constraints and don’t want to be held up by children. Cuts both ways.

Really? I assume this meant to be sarcasm!

If not then I expect you don’t have children!

Aye….egg banjo ……..

……and I put Salad Cream on mine.

Lovely!

Come in son – fancy a wee glass of Chianti?

We are Duckman – can we/will we try do this against a better team though?

Hoggy makes a difference.

I reckon Burgess will do well. Of course if England do not win the WC and Lancaster’s plans do go down the toilet then Burgess be the reason in many peoples eyes!

The players Lancaster has NOT picked would make a decent team who would beat most others – sadly including Scotland who are quite frankly well below average.

oh….and Hartley will be back!

How about a retro idea……a few beers down the local pub with your pals. Is there really a need to follow fashion?
You could play dominos and pool and have a lsugh getting pissed. Boot polish on grooms feet and stamp them on the bar ceiling.
That’s what I did….25 years ago!

Cips left out I hear?

CDT teacher in Scottish Borders. Enjoy it almost all the time. Kids are great …the “new initiatives” are not.
Too much bix ticking and pole climbers for my liking.

I concur with the exceptions of Haskell for Wood, Youngs for Hartley and Burgess for Burrell.

How much do you want for it? Pics?

Acid Reflux?

Could well be a draw now. Hope not – Aussies have clearly been the better team in this game and should really win it…and they would without rain.

I have one of These – Wild Country Tents I like it. Not expensive either.

If you want to take her shopping go to Galleries Lafayette (Opera Metro). Amazing Dome ceiling with a coffee bar on the roof – fantastic view.

AA Greg Tonks is the Edinburgh 10 who can play Full Back too. I think Jackson at FB is experimental – Duncan Weir is on the bench to cover 10 if needed.

Currently it’s Jura Superstition.

Not here yet. Had a few in Devon last week while on holiday.

We call them Brambles where I live.

Try your local Gumtree or make your own?

touch base! No!

The BBC are/were biased AGAINST the SNP/Yes Campaign.

Maybe the Trussell Trust invited Mundell along to make a point and has duly obliged not realising the irony of it.

At least it’s a change from the self obsessed one.

“to be honest” – implies that the rest of what you say isn’t.

“just about” – as in ” I just about caught the train” which seems to me that you missed the train!

Re – Structure

Motorola Moto G ? £150

Big step to the doormat!

Nice job – I like black doors.

Dig holes – make partial fence sections lying flat – lift and drop into holes – connect other partial sections to form the “L” shape – level with blocks under bottom rails – fill holes with concrete at your leisure – as long as you make the sections parallel and level the fence will be spot on.

Give a mate £50 to drive you?

I’d do it but I’m in Scotland!

On a Sunday – nip up to the cafe at Hartside and ogle the motorbikes.
