Creative! I like the sound of that. Wait until you see what I have pencilled in for No.1,  it may need some explication 

 

So, I'm still struggling to find some of those pesky numbers However as mentioned, I have a 'creative' solution ..... its a mathematical 2 for 1 deal 

I ride to 2 different number location and then apply some mathematical wizardry (+ - /  x) to come up with the elusive number and mythical name. 

In the words of the man himself 'you know it makes sense!' 

I've never used heated gloves before only heated grips, which work well, but at this time of year are leaving my finger painfully cold. I'm looking at getting the Keis G601 heated gloves as those will plug into my heated vest (I've been using it since last year and am now wondering how I coped without it for all these years). Does anyone have these gloves? if so can you let me know if they are worth all the money.

@teo63 @Fiddlesticks yeah be creative! I want people to have fun and I know out in the sticks it can get tricky so as long as an effort is made I'm down with it

Nice one I think we're off the hook @Fiddlesticks 

@Hoggs Struggling with my list of numbers up here locally. I'm normally an ask for forgiveness sort of guy (even I thought I was pushing it with the insect tag last year), but for once I'm going to ask permission! so here goes ..........

If a pub or café has the number written in the name does it count?

For example café Sixty SIX defiantly has 6 in the name

Anyone who turns up at my house on their bike will get:

A cup of tea/coffee

A biscuit

A picture of 'Hog' stuff (for the points)

A view of my full-size (yet to complete  at the time of writing) Dalek

 

I don’t think I’ll make it all the way down for the coffee and Hogg stuff points, but really intrigued to see a photo of the Dalek

Seeing demands are coming in thick and fast - Please can you ensure:

1. Good weather

2. Reserved parking for all TMBF taggers at all locations.

3. Free candyfloss for seafront tags.

4. No sheep (or other stray animals on the roads.

5. Discounted fuel for taggers.

6. No 'Richard Craniums' pulling out in front of taggers.

7. 100 additional points for all those who attend the 2024 TMBF Rally.

 

 

 

what about the use of the swivel chair at all future negotiations(it was a different time!)

Thanks @Hoggs put me on the list, I'll go and reset the odometer. My signs still serviceable so I'll go with with 262 again please.

Hey hey

 

Yes. I'm attempting to start on it now but it will inevitably be panic on the 28th like every other year 

whilst your in the planning stage, I appreciate its even more work for you but can the north and east England be spilt into two regions next year with 15 in each like the other regions? 

Is it spring yet I must be getting bored already! I've added my photo tags to a copy of @Hoggs map as a reminder of warmer, happy times.

Feel free to add yours if you feel so inclined, @oldgrump should allow a couple of weeks to get them all on

Every point counts!

I've heard its double point for any tags acquired on a 50

At the beginning of the year I asked @Hoggs, to include the AA boxes I missed last year,  so we thought we better get off our arses and complete them, so 1 today on a 3 day trip to Wales,  and probably last run of the year . 

 

Have a good trip, hope its not too damp
