Six would just duct tape and cable tie her to a chair.

Took my bike to the beach last night too, although no high speed awards from the cops....so many toys, so little time.

So where were we ? My next destination was Perry's cider Mill , it's not a cider that I've tasted before and they have a cafe , museum and shop So after a very brief run on the horrible A303 dual-carriageway I made my way on roads like this........... and in the village on Dowlish Wake I came across a gorgeous little bridge over the ford............. Just around the corner was the Cider mill...................... Unfortunately the museum and the cafe weren't open (bloody covid) but you were free to wander around the courtyard and have a nosey........... Luckily the shop was open so I bought as much as I could fit in my box............. and then I took a similar route back home but up through Charterhouse rather than Cheddar gorge as it would have been heaving by now I stopped once more for a coffee from my flask overlooking Chew Valley lake from the Mendip hills................. I don't know who this twat was but he'd been following me about all day in the sunshine...............

@XTreme is this Pay per view tomorrow or is there a live stream any where ?

So with a free pass out for good friday I was keen for a ride as I am required for other duties the rest of easter. I had a look at my Wild Guide book (cheers @yen_powell) and found a 'tower' down in Somerset so that was the destination. So away by 08.30 and down through Cheddar Gorge before the hordes arrive, the goats seem to get more and more each year............. Sorry about the fuzzy photos, I must be getting shaky. Anyway, across the moors to Wedmore and Westhay and then up through Shapwick. Hang on a second !! what the feck is that in that field............... Yep, a skeleton's head. I presume it's it's a leftover from the carnival season. What say you @Slowlycatchymonkey ? Stopped for a shot of St Mary's church in Huish Episcopi.................

Sucks to be you bob, if that was me I'd have taken them there and dropped them off...once inside I'd have left and let them walk home, aren't they abit old for imaginary friends

My wife says "Thank fuck for that".

Are these the only (eureka) moments you get? Try the blue pills for your other moments

Post your ride report after Rich has posted his.......hope the wait ain't too long.

I'm not sure how the Easter Parades are going to go cos the Spanish can't possibly have any energy left. They really go for it. Traffic jams with everyone honking their horns, fire works being let off, they were still partying at 3am

Get some rest … you got a big fight coming up in the car tomorrow.

I'll admit that was fecked after that walk , I'll finish the rest of the report tomorrow as I'm knackered now.

So owing to not being able to get out on the bike I have been given the green light to go out on the bike tomorrow morning though shes says i have to be home by around 2pm so as I have a good few hours available now I need to decide where to go, initial thoughts are head towards alnwick then head west ish towards Otterburn and off around kielder forest direction, grab a good few piccies and aim to return along the rollercoaster that is the A68. Did a small recce of the planned route yesterday in the car so have some idea of what I'm to expect.... Ride report will follow with pics and maybe onboard video footage from my camera system So watch this space.....

Forgot to put this up last Sunday. Decided to go out for an hour to give the bike a run. Fail. Some will recognise places from the photos. Once again I didn't get off the bike.

Full house then? Over here the stupid fucks have got their KKK outfits on and carrying a fucking dummy about!

You'd burst into flames bob you're best not to

Serves me right for marrying into a catholic family, at least I don’t have to go in the church, although I’m told they get wine

@Clive so you think you’re bored mate ? I’m sat outside a church in my car right now for a couple of hours as my son and mum-in-law wanted to go to mass

Nearly as mad as the cheese rollers in Gloucestershire

I'm knackered, spent all day sorting stuff for the arrival of the next guests including spending a large amount of time at varying points of the day on FaceTime with the phone screen being wobbled about at a blurry computer being asked what do to now- who leaves the important paperwork til the day they're due to leave? I don't get it, its always my primary concern. Check passport, sort paperwork and money. Surely everyone does that first?

Not exactly a recce as such more we took skye to alnwick Gardens yesterday then to let her have a sleep we went for a drive and just so happened that we went that way, it wasn't a pre planned "recce"

he went out in his car to do a fucking recce ..so to know what to excpect... terrorist's , sabre tooth tigers , swarms of killer bee's

If you look just north of Deerleap carpark on the opposite side of the road is Dursdon Drove, one of my favourite trails. That would be a good one to take your Himalayan along Deerleap car park used to be one of my fag stops when I smoked .

I got an idea, strap on a thong, and ride a log down a volcano, this sports going to be huge.

word.... and can i tag along ?

That my friend can be sorted just say the word

My guess would be he will drive out in to the Spanish wilderness on the way back from the airport and bash her with a hammer and leave herin one of those abandoned houses while he drives on with the grandkids and meets up with them back at the house..... Not giving you ideas though pete

Well wheres the sangria, kind of fucking shopping is it without a few litres of sangria

@XTreme play this on loop in the car … listen to the words

you will end up slinging her out i can see it coming

Tv Disney Netflix Sky Her not being very mobile is very limiting.

You not got a tv ? Or does she just like to sit and look at you ?

Her ass is stuck in a chair most days.....

Mum says only boring people get bored.

Fekkin bored.

Why not pick them all up on the bike that way you don't have to listen to her endlessly calling you a twat

Thank you Ian, I love you too

Good report, gimp.

Fed the horses, then took a load of bedding over to the flat. Next job is to go food shopping for them and take that over there. And in amongst that lot I've got to put a new site live......that's three in three weeks to cover all this shit! And I'll probably be called a Cunt at the end of it!

I'm dreading being stuck in the car with her for two and a half hours!

This is what friday night looks like, got pulled over for doing 56 ina 35, cop gave me a warning, liked my SS 45 acp Ruger, i think thats why i only got a warning...lol

I dunno if thats carnival or something to do with the odd pagan stuff that appears sometimes. Did you see the massive monster type thing that appeared in a field last year? The closer you get to Glastonbury the weirder it gets. Great ride that though, theres a nice place in Wells to take a flask of tea, it has with superb views for miles and miles. You probably already know Deerleap car park but if not thats well worth a visit (on a clear day before the grockles get up). https://www.somersetlive.co.uk/news/local-news/gallery/mysterious-figure-appears-side-hill-5370559 https://www.google.com/maps/place/Deerleap+Car+Park/@51.2398674,-2.691681,17.14z/data=!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x48721f4d9e1914cd:0x80710ba7c100425f!2sDeerleap,+Wells,+UK!3b1!8m2!3d51.2337597!4d-2.6891064!3m4!1s0x48721f4f18fb4027:0x1cc819049214b5c3!8m2!3d51.2404449!4d-2.6903136 Paganism is alive and kicking in the West Country. Just remembered even though my school was distinctly CofE we still had to make corn dollies every year to thank Mother Earth for the Harvest during Harvest Festival, country dancing was a compulsory class Theres still a Harvest Home every year, although they have conveniently moved it from the last full moon before the equinox to august because the weathers nicer I remember my Pa saying its bad enough they're filling your head with the one lot of superstitious claptrap but two lots, what is wrong with them?!

Yes. I think that once I've had one last long trip on it I might have to get something lighter.

So now I moved on to the original destination. I had scoped it out on google earth and the easiest way in was to ride a short distance up a bridleway, I was ready for a fight if I got any moaners but it was ok so I parked here........... and now for the assault on the hill. First I had to walk across this field............. and the view back to the bike.................. Then it was up here and here and here until I got to the top, this really gave me a workout............... Eventually I got to the top and the tower. There were stunning views from the top but ultimately it was dissapointing as the entrance was boarded up I made my way back down by a different route after sorting out my leg. It's obvious that there must have been a castle or something here in the past as you can clearly see a moat............. and the Motte.............

Out trail riding on Sunday, got three clients who fancy a bimble around the local trails on some ancient XR250s. They’ve had three days on track (Almeria etc) so I’m hoping they’re knackered so I can keep up!………I’ll be sweeping up at the back as usual but that suits me fine. I’ll try and take some photos if I remember.
