A bit further on and it started to get a bit sticky, there is no gravel surface under this grass, it is pure peat and with the amount of rain we had yesterday it was slicker than a Beavers back end. The fun bit is trying to guess where the tractor ruts are under the grass so that you don't tip over in them............. After heaving my way though my thermostat started reaching boiling point so some clothing was removed and I made it back to terra firma. I carried on to do some more Droves which were pretty uneventful and then came to the North Drain. The North Drain does exactly what it says on the tin in that it drains the water off the Levels, there was a big shoal of Roach basking in the sun........... I started to head north now and back towards home, here you can see Nyland Hill (an extinct volcano) in the forground and the Mendip Hills in the distance as viewed from the Levels.......... Once I got up on the Mendips I stopped near Priddy at a convinient tree stump to sit on for lunch........... I had a quick look at a campsite (for future reference) and then made my way home. There will be some bike washing to be done tomorrow.

Not a great deal of words today as I'm going all Pedro-like. I went to have a look at some new (to me) Droves on the Somerset levels today. On the way I dropped down over Burledge Hill where there is evidence of some great lane management.......... Up over the Mendips and down through Wells, Glastonbury and Street to get to Somerton and onto the fun stuff. You get miles of this..............

It looks like some 5 year old designed with his lego

I nearly forgot this one. This lovely young lady came down for a magazine shoot, as you can see it was a very hot day. Unfortunately for me she came on my day off.......

The Somerset levels.............

Did you ride any of them, are there any photos ? Asking for a friend.................

I see that I got a good reflection of the washing machine

and here's a couple of the race bikes he's built. The first one was called 'Bum Trinket'

So Earache posted lots of photos of a car parade the other day and one of them looked like the Willys Coupe that my boss used to drag race. I thought I'd put up some of the photos that are in our tea room...............

Ok, where do I start ? This thread is meant to be about being stylish is it not ? 1. You're wearing a jacket that looks like something you got from the Oxfam shop in 1990 2. What the f*ck are those trousers 3. You've probably got those gay boots on 4. The scaffolding has ruined the lines on that bike 5. The tyres are gay 6. The cast wheels on that style of bike are gay On the plus side, it's a very nice village square

Is that the same one I sent you years ago Tym ?

Here's Six................

There ya go Pedro

I'd definitely like to have a go on it

I got this for Father's day, it'll be interesting to see the difference to the biography I read about him 20 years ago.

Absolutely great photos Earache

Thanks for taking the time to take a photo of the local gimp

My boss used to drag race something like that.......... I'll get some photos when I'm in work tomorrow

That corner is screaming for me to come around on my T700 with a slight drift to the right.............

Ive got a nice Van Van Clive, could be right up your street

I'm sooooooooooooooo pleased you found your dictionary again, that was a great report. Superb photos and megaliths as well I have to say that i'm not overly impressed with that pizza but totally understand your reluctance to go into a crowded place to eat.

Yep, in two weeks time all bets are off.
