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

Thanks @Hoggs, and everyone taking part for keeping me amused for another year. I'm not sure I'm going to have much free time before xmas, so it looks like I may be done for another year (though I'd really like to finish the NE if I get chance, on a salt free day). Health issues caused a bit of a late/slow start for me and I didn't manage to get everywhere I planned this year, but I still managed to clock up a few enjoyable miles. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=18m5EeflydqIXJNg5rL8ZT9eoxtyS8lU&usp=sharing Waiting patiently now for a new challenge in 2025.

That's impressive even for a honda, has it needed any major work other than normal maintenance. I always get nervous ££££ after 40k

or in a chart .............

Yes, had a fantastic weekend. Congratulations on the silver, looks like you made the most of the weather and ditched the bronze. I wanted to go for platinum but couldn’t get it to work with getting TMBF tags as well. so compromised with a gold. That completes the 3 nations for me this year, I’ll have to put up a new shelf
