IRSE licensed installer on railway, and things not looking good all round the country unfortunately. Might have to look at getting on underground as a last resort.

Really. Jeesh!!

A*se pain seems to last for ages. I stopped taking painkillers last Friday. Went to work on Monday in agony. Started taking the pain killers again.

Off to wheelie school again on Saturday so no doubt it'll ache like hell afterwards!!

I feel soo lucky. I think i'm on the mend. Did another wheelie school saturday and it was totally bearable all day. Still on the pain killers though.



I'm off out now to put all the camping gear on the bike, ride to my brothers (15 miles) and do a practice run at pitching the tent. Wish me luck. I hope it don't all fall off on the m'way. lol

passed the venue today and it looks great - right close to the village and some good pubs and a chippy. plus it's right on the superbly topped & bendy A44 with gorgeous scenery.
excellent routes locally :thumbup: i could ride up & down there all day!
You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when posting something which you later rely on in quote. Anything you do say may be ripped to sh*t.

Awesome. Can't wait.

Tested out the tent today. I need a smaller sleeping bag but other than that, all went well. :clap:
