Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Found a good cafe in Wem. Tucked away on an industrial estate. Very good breakfast. 2 Quote

Went last week and the bike got filthy as someone has nicked the bridge over the A45 and I ended up going down some single track roads. I’ve planned a better route for today. Nice turn out, here’s a few bikes that got my attention: very clean Viffer Real honest chugger - would love something like this for Green laning Nice oldie Classic Velo used all year round, most of these are either in museums or only taken out on sunny dry days Rare 200cc Bridgestone Nice Kwaker flanked by a pair of XT500’s Odd looking Guzzi 3 Quote

Mississippi Bullfrog Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 Another great cafe tried out - Glebe Farm on the outskirts of Congleton so handy for trips into the Peak District. Their black pudding in the Full English is superb. It was heaving today being half term but the staff were great and found us a table pretty quickly. 2 Quote

Well worth a watch dubbed as its in German but no real issue. I like it as it's not some celebrity talking about themself more about the journey. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Himalaya-Calling-Overland-highest-passes/dp/B08KX58T6D Watched this over the weekend, very good bit like Long way round without the celebs. What surprised me was they wore full textile jackets , trousers, heavy boots and helmets but no gloves except when they were high up in the mountains. 2 Quote
Tiggie Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 Might give that a go next. I'm just finishing Reacher (also on prime) Its based on the Jack Reacher novels. The guy cast as Reacher is very believable in the role compared to the films with Tom Cruise I did enjoy the Cruise version but having been a fan of the books it's hard to see him playing a 6ft 5" built like a tank, hard as nails, ex military Cop Quote

Tiggie Posted February 28, 2022 Posted February 28, 2022 The actor playing Reacher (Not Tom!! ) would make a great choice as a replacement for Arnie in the Terminator films. 1 Quote
