I could not get a signal on the camp site but I could get a signal in the village, then again I have a Tesco pay as you go phone which is ancient and the coverage is not the best in the world :(

I remember this from last years Scottish Campfire Mini Meet! Must bring earplugs!

Mike usually takes a supply of ear plugs to hand out to folk anyplace near him, except me, says its my duty to suffer his snoring - If i'm tired enough I will sleep thru most things thunder storms, chinook helicopters buzzing the camp site, "I'm Sparacus" chorus at BMF.

Well I have given in and im going to get the barbeques out for the event as beer music and bonfire and no food wont work , if you find anything on the road bring it along ,

me and iain are going out on sunday to try the off rd route again so if your about and want to join us give me a shout .:welcome:

staci got in touch regarding altberg boots which is about 1 hour away in Richmond so if you want to check them out on your way up or on staurday give them a shout Alt-Berg | High Quality Hiking Boots & Walking Boots 01748 850615 .ring them as you will need to book in for measurement last time on fri is 4.30 and 9.15am -4.30 sat

ride safe road kill

From my experience Altberg is well worth a visit.
They take their time measuring your feet & trying boots on to find out about fit and if you would like them.
Then I had a wait of 6 weeks before the boots arrived. I have been reading lots of good things about them being waterproof, but as yet mine are untried in the wet, I know I shouldnt complain we all like nice weather for riding. I am sure on out jaunt around the high spots in Europe over the next 2 weeks I will find out if they are indeed as waterproof as they say, and if we do get rain I will no doubt be singing their praises at Haggs Bank. But if you see me with Asda carrier bags on my feet I wont be worth speaking to :nono:

Looks like the Infield is being dusted down for the weekend as my knackered shoulder is playing up (tendonitis) brought on with the the daily cycle training the 80 odd mile down to Nenthead would have my arm worse than useless and in agony for the weekend and I would never be able to lift a beer. The Infield is not much quicker than the pedal bike but its easier on the uphill bits into a headwind I suppose.

Long range forecast looks good, might take a litre this time Dave.
