Pic of the Day

[Arminius]

Always take my Alpkit jetboil type stove on longer rides in winter so my cupasoup is piping hot. It's lighter than a thermos. It had a problem and wasn't working so after a mishap yesterday I had to get a wee Vango stove . It fits in to what I have left of Brukit so it's all OK. Nobody hurt or any damage done in the explosion miraculously.

Haha. Pink is cans and plastic containers , Blue paper , green general waste. Brown grass and we have a small box for glass.

 

[Arminius]

Agree, have to know which areas to avoid. Basically, everything on slopes has drained and dried out OK but the dips in the flats haven't IYSWIM. In our area anywhere low near the river Lavant is a quagmire because the chalk South Downs are emptying like sponges and overflowing lower banks. Tried a route yesterday called the "Literary Trail" and doubled back rather than wading through mud, and water with sewerage because Southern Water are still pumping tankers of shit into the river Lavant. Have more pictures, but same as before so no point in posting the latest ones.

Uk been very wet this winter going by everyone on here and maybe even globally ? . Only dry run I had in past 2 months was at Tarland trails it was great.

I had a great idea to take my g/f out to show her what I like to ride (so she could take pics of ME!) as pictures and videos can only show so much. It turned out to NOT such a good idea as she had not too much trouble hiking up the trails but hiking DOWN mtb trails can be quite difficult!

What she saw...

What I see...

Started off good . Got 2 miles in and just heading up Devils Staircase twig in derailleur yet again game over for today. Popped in to Glencoe mountain ski place and the bike hire guy trying to fit one from his bike to mine. Hopefully it works . All good top marks for Callum at the bike hire place.

Might have brushed against a couple but as compensation a group of us cleared about half an acre of brambles over winter to let these flourish . .

Most of the snow is gone, at least here in the lowlands where I live. But only 100m higher in elevation at the hillsides and in the valleys where the sun only reaches a couple of hours a day, there is still plenty.

I had a nice trip yesterday along local hiking paths up to my local "peak", 350m above sea level (in the sunny part of the terrain) .

Ridin past couple days has opened up the higher altitudes for the first time this year... Stil cold in them thare hills !

Yes Ben Starav is the view out the back door . I walked that yesterday hard going. No mod cons outside toilet water from the burn but at £7 : 50 a night . Got it all to myself as well.
