Development occurred after shoulder surgery. Rock garden ride
I hit a bog here in Wales once while doing a fair lick of speed.. fortunately for me, it wasnt fatalA few years ago we were asked to recover the body of a walker who had gone missing from Ambleside 8 months before.
A farmer was riding his quad bike across the boggy bottom of the little upland valley to check his fence and spotted a walking boot sticking out of a boggy pool next to the fence.
When we pulled him out he was wearing his rucksack and was still holding a Wainwright guidebook.
He had obviously been climbing over the fence, lost his balance and had fallen head-first into the pool and drowned.
Not the usual type of bog body you hear about.
The moral of the story is take bogs seriously, especially if you are out by yourself.
Good effort ..?I hit a bog here in Wales once while doing a fair lick of speed.. fortunately for me, it wasnt fatal

Good job you found him, as he may have been found in another 1000 years and it would have been another Lindow man ?
happened twice that day, I always took tow ropes and it took us both 20 mins or so to get the bike out each timeIt was lucky you had a friend there to kindly record the moment for you.
I bet you had fun getting it out.
I would have to get off before that corner in the number 4 shot! My aversion to heights would do my head in and I'd end up going over the edge!
What always amazes me is the hundreds of kilometres of fences made out of rocks!Ages since I rode in the Dales. Well worth a day off work.

Too slow/dumb/distracted to select the right mode for mouse/vole pounce..

It did not press "evade" on it's controller in time but did win a free tooth massage.What's more important is did the mouse/vole select the right mode for fox-pounce-evasion manoeuvre?
I forgive him, he lives in France after all. I mean how more French can you get than "derailleur"?*ahem* rear mech *ahem*
Love days like that !Cracking day out today, ventured to unknown parts and had a blast. View attachment 61261 View attachment 61262 View attachment 61263 View attachment 61264 View attachment 61265 View attachment 61266 View attachment 61267
