That cafe looks great, lovely view, https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g672778-d8059191-Reviews-Half_Moon_Bay_Cafe-Heysham_Lancaster_District_Lancashire_England.html#photos;aggregationId=101&albumid=101&filter=7&ff=351949463

Have you had both of yours yet @skyrider?

Did you suffer any withdrawal symptoms? I usually do- increase in productivity, increase in work quality, increase in energy levels, increase in boredom and itchy feet. Came to the conclusion the internet is some sort of sedative we all voluntarily plug into... lovely lovely sedative, give me more...

Surely this should be happening in work time... networking n all that malarkey, tis cheaper than golf or expensive lunches so really it should be a goer! Paid to bike, its the way forward!

Well I did say as far as practicable and sometimes its not practical to ignore an itch ?

Or morecambe or the ride or summink

I never thought you’d be taking part in click bait- let’s hear about the half moon cafe then!

Taking a tech break next week (as far as practicable) cos I got a lot of work on and I do like a distraction! So if I’m not about it’s not because I’ve moved over to the dark side it’s just my middle name is procrastination ?

Loving all the dials on that dash! Please tell me you also had toggle switches?!

Not your usual tippitoed bmw rider for sure ?

The guy at the BMW garage said they do it on quite a few models and they always get complaints ? I don’t really see how if you can’t get your leg over a taller bike that most people are gonna be able to ride it anyway cos you need a reasonable degree of hip flexibility to stop on a bike you can’t touch the ground on. Seems daft. Then again BMW always had the rep of an old man’s bike until Boorman n McGregor did some trip so maybe it’s just an adaptation for them ?

Had the same problem on the 9T it was a right pita. Got the larger footplate from Nippys which was fine on the sinking front but if the camber was too much you may as well book the hernia op before you tried to get it upright! A friend put an extra slab of metal on the bottom and now (thanks to the fact he’s a biker he new precisely how far to raise it without making it unstable) its now perfect. Ridiculous lengths to have to go to though. The Himalayan has the opposite problem, a stand thats too long and makes it too upright if the ground slopes up! Apparently they’ve fixed the crappy side stand on the latest iteration.

Is that an ice hockey puck?

Where is this one taken?

Looks great and shit as it is as least they give you an area with a perimeter. We’ve had to ‘stay local’ which means only a few miles from home. Even Boris got a pasting for leisure cycling 7 miles as many deemed that too far! And as you say it is beautiful where you are ?

Some epic riding stuff in these reports. The colour of those school buildings are fantastic and that was a great bit of youtube of the goats moving about in the tree. I suppose we’re just not used to seeing cattle in trees, may as well have been an episode of the magic roundabout with cows up there! ? We have a lot of wild goats in Cheddar George and when they’re clinging to the rock face on the road above you you can’t help but feel wary ones about to ping off! Here’s a of one of them looming over the road below and one silly billy that simply went to far. They climb trees too. Hope you get to really enjoy Morocco when you get back there.

I wouldn’t like to imagine how slippery that shiny tarmac is when it’s raining and did that lorry have enough bales precariously balanced?!

Great pic of a Grasshopper, you’re right it doesn’t look real! Hope Cappuccino is still there for a visit when I get there although I’m guessing Morocco food labelling laws are non existent and it’s a Coeliacs nightmare ? Looks like you had a blast regardless ?

Kinda going a bit Cornish now aren’t you? Somerset traitor......

@Sofia I have but you’re gonna need to lower your standards waaaaay lower than your very lowest standard for me to post ? Tell you what, next time I take a half decent food pic I’ll put it here. Don’t hold your breath that could be some time ?

You may need to lower your standards of what constitutes a terrible picture or I might not be able to contribute to this forum ????

Yer definitely sounds like “another world within our world” and one for the list ?

Well that was a cliffhanger. Boom boom. I’ll get mi coat.

I’m surprised it wasnt handed over to them but its probably a bit far gone for their budget now. Just had a look on ‘28 days later’ and its no longer salvageable. Floors have fallen though and its thoroughly rotten. Shame to let a beautiful grade II listed building end up that way. If anyone likes abandoned places 28 days later has some good ones on there. Is there a 28 days later type of website for Spain?
