hardnott & wrynoss passes today

[neil 23]

Had a nice ride round the lakes today and included above passes, nice steak pie for dinner, was a bit chilly, the weather not the pie, came home and had a nice warm bath.



Some pictures.

(please note, the pictures are not of today, as I didnt take a camera, but they are quite nice anyway)

Quality ride report there Neil

Could you tell us more about the pie, butchers, , farmers market ?
How was the gravy/grissle ratio. Did it have any tattie?
Pastry, how was the pastry, we need to know?


P.S. Last time I saw you, you were more like the last pic, horizontal

That tramp on the bench is surprisingly well dressed

It was from a small bakery in Eskdale Gordon, nice lumps of steak and very little gristle ! No tattie though and pastry was nice & crispy !

TBH, I was looking for a nice salad bar but had to settle for a pie, not good for the figure I know but I was starving !

At last, a ride report that makes sense!

 

[boatman]

mmmmh a proper ride report wi pies n dinner involved

 

[DavidJames]

What a pile of shite!!!!

Where are the pictures of the bike before you left with enough clothes and equipment to last you 6 months in Alaska?

Where is the picture of the bike mid journey strategically placed next to a lake or a mountain?

Where is the picture of the bike with a small splattering of mud on the bash plate?



Please try harder next time

Filling up was uneventful really, although I had taken several jerry cans in case I couldnt find any petrol due to distances involved !

My next big trip is a bit of a secret really, watch this space !

Thought I would go for a duel purpose tyre on this trip, as on a previous occassion nearly had an off due to really rough road condition outside a chippy !

On really big trips I can now take lots of fags due to fitting of some of Verns finest 10" panniers, if the bike ever caught fire it would take months to extinguish !

I am getting used to life on the road and can now relate to other famous adventure travellers, Ted Simon has been on the phone asking for advice already.

Charley & Ewen have asked for permission to copy my latest trip but substitute the pies for quiche & sandwiches with no crusts on ! Apparantly they have several support vehicles on their trips where I had only one with limited catering facilities !

The only downside to this journey was been overtaken by an elderly lady in a mobility scooter, I am now looking into having a power commander fitted !

Anyway, back to planning the next trip !

Do you have GPS co-ordinates for the Lake District?

Excellent, Herr Rubble

All that's missing form your lovely photos (that have nothing to do with your trip) is one of Kelly Brook with nice lingerie on or better still, bollock naked Perhaps you might consider this for your next one? Just a suggestion mind: not a criticism.

It certainly beats the shit out of "and here's a photo of a Scottish loch/Alpine mountain with my fugly bike in the way".

Looks like he attends with a bit more regularity than you
