Yes I am also in approval of dying with dignity with assistance if need be.

My own father’s early demise from cancer … near the end he was just a shell, just breathing and occasionally responding but not talking.

Myself and 2 siblings, all adults, had travelled up to visit, together with my mum and my dad’s mother in the house for several days…[Read more]

Up your arse? 😄

Staying near Eyam?

Short drive up to Hathersage and pop up to walk up to Stanage edge, just walk up the path from carpark and walk to the left or the right as far as you like, you can walk as long as you like, even 30 mins up there is invigorating.
. In Calver, just down the valley from Eyam is the Cotic warehouse, if you ask nicely they’ll let y…[Read more]

It’s awesome

Nice one. Gone a flipping dusty reading that.
What age is your new un Op? Just out of curiosity.

Yes. As mick suggests…the best riding is on the Peak District border but if you’re south of Cannock you’re looking at a good drive. Just go and have a good thrash up n down the fire roads of Cannock? Have an explore. Probably best over the brocton side rather than behind the monkey…see any tyre tracks? Follow em 😉

My first reply would be… There’s more to Cannock than the marked trails. But I will help otherwise… Where do you want to start and what length are you after?

Why do people shave their legs? Fucking weird. I always thought that was a joke but people actually do it? Like with a razor. Why tf would you do that?
Coz once you’ve done it once you’ll have to keep doing it.

I love pulled pork in mine.
It’s also great for keeping a sauce hot while you make the rest of a dish, like spag bol.

Weeksy that’s ace 👏

Gordon the Gopher has come out as gay as well now. Says he’s had hands up his arse for years.

Park at the back and ride up the boards where the pylons are.

there is no off piste at Cannock, stick to the donkey lads, keep clear of the moors.
‘AWOOOOOOOOOOO!’

They’ve got to write a Q episode, they’ve just got to!

yup cracking loop, plenty of speed and tech, lots of climbing too but not too much.

all the white peak routes from the VB book gpx are here: https://www.v-publishing.co.uk/books/wpmbdownloads/
The cheedale route is just to the west of where Op is staying. The bakewell one and the great longstone route also in the area. Ask up on here before you do them as a few of them can be tweaked in a better way.

put up a thread the week before you go and I’ll join you or sort you out with a route, loads of folk on here ride or know rides round there. Like Sherco said, there’s tons to go at there, you could head either way from cressbrook into the wye valley towards Buxton or Longstone Edge up to the Quarry and over to Eyam but I’d choose to go down Coombs…[Read more]

leave!
Do you have a bike?
