Gibberish

This is a pile of gobbledigook from the land of barlow. Bar ram you, ponies in your nose. Fiddle me ree, fiddle me raw. Grandma where art thou? Pants to the monkey, gribble to the trimdiddle-e-dee, grimple and the rest. Pass the parcel parson and dont rush the grasscarn. Bib biddly bomb toes to the tiddly. Graph Graph Graph!!!!! Graph!!! graphifically I graffidle with the grafhalus, graphoid, graffodle. Pits of punk, pats of piddle, in the middle of the tiddle, was a griddle biddle. Bi Biddi bi bi said the bollock to the box, soil in your eye you most hanous pony of pony land. Piddle to you!!!! and Piddle to your family for you art indeed a most hanous and unworthy child of the apocalypse friend or no friend of mine you will succumb to the wrath of the pant-e-loon. The pant-e-loon that sites the most unbelieveable steel from the chimney of sheffield to the tree of the glade. From the dew of the lake to the sun of suffolk. I shalt not without furious envy beseech thy passat and look forward to thy volkswagen from desborough. Do do do dally do.... Do do do dally do.. whispered to frilly monk to the envious garden dwarf on ise lodge. A place where giants do dwell and skys fall from trees along waterfalls of glee. Pass pass or not to pass what is your price young villain of philly. Why I cant pay that ebay will not have it is is a beseechment upon thy country of eden and gravel. No i will see you down the M1 to the sea where the long boat does dwell and sail its mighty voyage the crew leaving their fair blonde loved ones behind on the shore to cry and look after the corn and baby with rubber glove laden hands and steel riveted chastity pants of doom. Well well my friend you have come a long way since the days of the knight and sword, of james bond and embankment bondage at the bank of the HSBC twang. To the left of the turnip, the right of the orange, well well, my friend, well well.

Biking at Belvoir castle in Leicestershire

Hello, went biking around Belvoir castle in Leicestershire today. Really suprisingly good route. Got the route from www.mountainbikerides.co.uk. Some good climbs and descents for leicestershire. The ride gets its altitude from ascending tree covered ridge line. It follows a route through a variety of terrains including singletrack, towpath, doubletrack and fireroad. The route is mainly made up of a combination of the jubilee way and viking way. The highlights of the ride were the 'curbstone descent' - a rocky descent through woodland on the viking way and the descent at the end 'toft's hill'. Also the views from Stathern forest and seeing Belvoir castle was cool. Check it out! The peak district trip has been rearranged for a later date. Cheers. Andrew.

Peak district wilderness adventure

Next weekend I am doing a hike in the Peak District taking minimal survival gear and staying overnight. We are going to try and cover as much distance as possible in the North Peak area. Look out for more information on our route and I will post pictures and details here soon. This one is in preparation for many more walks, hikes and trips in the future which will all be documented here. Hopefully getting progressively more adventurous, gaining more skills and experience. Andrew.

Chase

Road at Cannock Chase today. The follow the dog trail is pretty cool. It is mostly really twisty singletrack of on a variety of terrain with some fun sections. The downhill area is very difficult to find and we never actually did find it in the end and ended up doing a huge loop of the area. I expected there to be more bridge/north shore sections but there is only one on the follow the dog trail. However, it was most impeccably kept and genuinely good clean riding fun. The area of Cannock Chase is huge and the potential for riding is very good. Go and check it out. Andrew.
