Grumpy Old Git

Another day, another ???

berkle rumpid distrewangle Or, In other words 'Welcome Earthling Scum'

Showers / Sleet / Sun / Cold.

Good (Currently sunny) morning one and all (and Bender).

Just got an unused Gelert Camping stove for free as 'it does not work'. After 30mins of figuring out what was wrong, another 15 dismantling, another 2mins to fix (bent arm thingy), another 30mins to figure out how the spring worked and get it positioned correctly, 6min to re-assembly = Fully functioning camping stove!

Good (getting colder) afternooninining.

Do Be Do Be Do Be Doooo!

Hello - Good Morrow Folks (and Folkets, trees, others, etc.)

Another Sunny Day.

Grab a hat!

@Bender If you are looking to go over the western passes - Note that they are closed (road surface damage). The 'Struggle' is also closed. You cannot even get through on t'bike - Concrete blocks right across the road (similar to the anti-terrorism blocks outside the H of P in London)

I am still alive!

The older you get, ther easier it is to get close to achieving it. This is called 'Skiing' (spending the kids inheritance)!

What - You mean you do not drive the latest style of Bailey Bridge?

I use a pinlock - Probably get a new one later this year.

Goody Morn all. I hate weather like this when I cannot take the bike out

Welcome! And get a bike - More fun and less hassle.

Aye up!

Bike cleaning day today - Gurt manging folks!

A1 / A14 (Brampton)

Yep - A1 / A214 junction

Bridge House Farm: Low Sizergh Barn: Yew Tree Farm: Not sure I want to do this kind of mileage over a weekend again - Even if the weather is good (as it was).

Morning hall. I have now thawed out after the epic long weekend i'nt lakes. The throttle lock (cruise control) worked very well for the loooong motorway stretches. Some of the twistties on arrival were a bit too much for enjoyment. If you are going up there soon, most of the 'passes' are closed (damaged surfaces, repairs, etc.). 'The Struggle' is shut as is the Kirkstone Pass Pub, but the pass itself is open. Otherwise a great weekend visiting a 'long lost' friend - The three tags will be posted soon. Not many bikers about up there though and my friend does not ride.

manging Ball!

I thought I had hidden it better that that!
