I just found an entertaining account of a couple of local riders tackling the Mary Towneley Loop. The MTL is a big (mainly) offroad loop between the north and south sections of the Pennine Bridleway. It is a long time since I last rode it. It makes me want to get my mountain bike repaired and tackle it again next year while I am still capable of it.
Really strong riders have completed the MTL in 4-5 hours but normal people take more like 8-10 hours. I would rather take 12 hours mid-summer, not half kill myself, and have time to enjoy it. There are some really nice photographs of the local hills. If you are interested and have about 20 minutes free, read the article HERE.

Sorry Paul...it is completely apart now. It did have a central pole to which were attached 4 foldout arms which in turn suppported two side pieces which had clothesline going between them. The two side pieces now hold the fence rigid.

Morning. I was in no rush to get up as it’s raining and cold. The afternoon is supposed to be better. Tomorrow isn’t sounding good with yet more strong wind and the chance of snow on higher ground.
Good morning 
Today is..............Aldi dash day
. Just a few essentials so should be back home for 0830.
Rain forecast all day and, I think, all week.
On Wednesday we are booked in for a 'christmas' lunch and cabaret. I confess the sudden rise in this new Covid sh*t is giving me 2nd thoughts.
I shall report back later.
Stay safe peeps.

Good morning people, its looking like my first bimble for a fortnight will be rained off.
Good morning all.
We've just had a very busy weekend.
A visit to the Ludnum Fayre in lincoln on Saturday, it was lovely and sunny all the way up on the train. Just as we were tackling Steep Hill , which is aptly named, up to the castle and Cathedral it started raining which continued for the rest of the day, and being up on top of a hill the wind was cold as well.
Yesterday was a visit to the London Palladium for the Panto. Donny Osmond should of been the lead, but he was injured shortly before curtain up and didn't take part. The rest of the cast put on a good show though, even if it was a bit different from what it should of been. This was followed by a slap up Indian meal in a restaurant called Dishoom.
Today is back to all the normal stuff. Plus it is going to rain all day.
Enjoy your day peeps.

This mornings workout cut short. Pulled something in my left arm. It twanged louder than an angry Hank Marvin.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Morning. I was awake but it was nice and warm in bed so I stayed there listening to the rain. . Its bloomin dark as well.
A day for slobbing is on the cards. Just lit a fire as well.
Stay safe peeps
