Weird and Wonderful #10 Long Meg and Her Daughters

Hoggs high court judgement required @Hoggs I was out with the gang at the weekend, and we stopped at the café on Kielder Water, and it turns out I unwittingly ended up at the same location as the Kielder Water Bird Of Prey Centre, which is one of the Northwest Tags. I have Photo evidence of my bike (without my number) in front of the lake, and the map showing how close it was (probably passed the sign on the way out). Just so I don't have to go back (it's a bit remote, although the roads are good so I won't complain too much), I'm looking for a Hoggs special dispensation to count this as my visit to the Kielder Water Bird Of Prey Centre?

Glad you’re happy with it. The stock chain on mine wasn’t up to much, but 3k is about where I’m at for adjustment as well. My missus had the same complaint, she now has her own seat with extra padding Hope you enjoy the rest of your trip

@oldgrump glad you were able to save it. How you getting on with the SX?, is this your first long trip on it? I had to get a sergeant seat after mine

Nice one @Fiddlesticks ! another tab for you spreadsheet if you need it, giving location coordinates (unchecked as yet!!) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nGAPX3fPVENiPFWhPiBgXgBYWLTbgH7-/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=106800440985992381372&rtpof=true&sd=true

I wouldn’t be so presumptuous I was thinking more along the lines it would be in recognition of my 2024 campaign (should I be lucky enough to still be in the lead at the end of the year), something to go with the low res jpg trophy and so I get to bask in the glory for a whole 12 months

Hi Hoggs, happy Christmas! Can I go for number 1 this year please?

I like the way google brings in other photos of things I wouldn't get to see.

This weekend is pretty much the only one I have free so I've got everything crossed as well. Hope the The Ramblers' Rest have plenty of hot soup on the menu
