Hello all.
'Twas decidedly chilly when I got up at 0600.
Only one thing to do which is another attempt to buy a brown crusty loaf from Waterfields bakers.
Another full day of tv sport beckons eg footy plus C Games.

Good sunny Lancashire day to you all.

We had quite an adventure on our walk yesterday. The climb up Pendle Hill is very much at your own pace. I finished the main ascent first and sat down to photo Mrs P and friend arriving. Thirty seconds later I'm up and sprinting to huddle in the lea of a nearby wall. Hail storm came without warning. Mrs P and friend were caught in the open. A bit later we took a wrong turn but knowing we were headed to Ogden Reservoir decided to follow a clough which must lead to it. They say everyone who lives in Lancashire should climb Pendle Hill once. Correct. Stunning 360⁰ views. I've ridden it many times but from the roads I now see the full panorama isn't available. Got home safely!!

Fabulous morning here, bright sun and no breeze. The Saturday Club Ride is one of my favourite routes, my original design, to my absolute favourite cafe so I'm going to join the ride.

:hello:

Good morning folks,
Daughter and Grandson are preparing to head back to Leeds. It's been great having them down. I'm a bit knackered as I've been far more active than usual, what with taking grandson to soccer academy ( 10k walk home ) and staying up later than usual, going out to places.
Hoping to have a couple of days of taking it easy to recharge the batteries.

Almost feeling autumnal out there this morning. Even a few flocks of geese flying overhead. Nice for walking though. It's great to be able to walk at a reasonable pace without sweating like I've been doing most of this summer.

Porridge finished so a mug of Barleycup now. I think I might watch quite a bit of the games today.

:hello: Good morning folks, I've been for an early bimble this morning, my Meriden loop, 25 miles ridden, out the house about quarter past seven, decidedly chilly at that time, I wore my tracksters, a short and a long sleeved jersey, by the time i was crossing Coventry on the way home I was getting a bit warm. Out through Allesley, up Washbrook Lane and Harvest Hill lane. back in through Burton Green and down Torrington Avenue, across the city and home. One of my slower, lumpier routes around some lovely lanes, a most enjoyable way to start to the day.
