EDIT @ 21:16
It gets a bit deeper, it you look at the 'mouse-over', I've never seen it like that

You been to the ford around the back of Pendle hill towards earby?

The road us officially closed but you can cycle down the ford which runs about 500m down the road.

Not recommended on a road bike but a tourer or gravel bike great fun!

No
I wanted to try the one near Kelbrook, when we stayed at The Craven Heifer, back in February, this year
It's adjacent to Colne Golf Club

Granddad had old school Skoda with the rear engine! Horrid things!!
Oh, a S110 coupe would be very nice too

I would have an interest in pre VW Skodas.

I have been driving a VW era Skoda since March and it is by far the worst car I have ever owned from a reliability point of view and is as bland and uncharismatic as ditch water.

Found an old Skoda brochure, whilst sorting through some collected 80s/90s magazines
(wife says ‘hoarded’)

Lost my Kodiaq, & house, keys today at work:eek:

I locked it, walked down, then went get changed
As far as l’m aware, l put the keys in my usual pocket

Come 14:00, no sign of them!

I went through the locker, pulling all kinds of stuff out of it
No sign
Checked car-park to see if it was still there…yes!

Set off walking home
Rang wife, she'd left phone in office, & gone to see a new client
Rang daughter, still in York, just leaving Uni


A 4 mile (mainly xc, using same route that l ride home) walk home
Daughter arrived about 20 minutes after me
We set off back with spare key

Didn’t work, presumably a flat battery (2032)
Went to B&M in Wakefield for another

Back to work
No joy

Took ‘key cover’ off handle
Unlocked……..

Alarm went off; ”bugger!!”

I’m not certain how l turned it off, but managed to start it, via a procedure shown on dash

Got it back home, but the fob’s not synched to the car (l can lock it though)
I’ll have a perusal of the manual to see what the re-synch process is


I’ve left requests/messages with the General Office, A&E Reception, & with the Sister who’s the department manager
She’s put a ‘lost keys’ item on department social medias/private groups

Have to wait & see…
