Gotta say a big thanks to Rob Burnie from planet rock for the mention and the plug yesterday re the walk for charity,, cheers fella

What an absolute stoater of a day it was the day ,, the only problemo being i was working all of it,, Bugger .. Loads of bikes up and around the park today and boy was i jealous ..

Last night when i finished work i was driving over the road in the car,, thank god for that,,, as you could nt see twa feet in front of ye as the fog was as thick mince when from the right side of the road this fecker walking literally jumped in front of the car,, i kid ya not i just about followed through .. I didnt see the twat until he was about two feet off my bull bar.. Swerving up the kerb to get out of his way the fanny bolted into the trees.. The farmer at the kipps who i know was also looking for the guy as he was worying the sheep in the field ,, scary thought.. All i can say is what an absolute fruit and fecking nutter ,, as i said thank god i wasnt on the bike

The walk is in the final stages ie planning ,, we have a support van with all diesel costs covered by a local company who i shall tell ya about next week,,, the van will be driven by the budge .. Down at the Fish s place on thursday sorting all the logistics out and what a laugh that was… Afore i forget happy birthday to Fish for tomorrow,, have a good one bud..
