Re: rides near morton in the marsh

You really should take a trip over to Cleeve Hill near Cheltenham. It's about 25 miles from Moreton, so you'll be nice and warmed up ready for the 25% horror. I ride in this area all the time, but realise I'm completely unable to give you any details or directions, which is actually quite worrying. A starting point could be the route of the 'Circuit of the Cotswolds' - it takes in a lot of the most interesting bits [climbs] in the area:

Sorry not to be of more help

You have just successfully proved that you are indeed female, and not a Glaswegian welder masquerading as such.

It's actually because I navigate using the position of the sun and stars, ley lines and a keen sense of smell.

Think there are a few pigeon fanciers on here then...

True, but actually finding out who she really is will be a bit of a coo (get it, coo, pigeon, coo coo?) Oh shoot me now!

The tv bit isn't worrying you then?
(No offence intended tvrbird)

Re: rides near morton in the marsh

I'm an innocent country lad so that thought never crossed my mind, for a moment I wondered how her television habits would worry me more than being a pigeon but then the brain cell fired up and I caught on to the big world!

No offence taken at all - I was wondering when someone was going to get it. Now can you work out what the 'r' stands for...?

So... I'm glad that all those tangents were put paid to after the recent complaints!

btw, saw the "Birkenhead Tranny" this afternoon on my way home. he/she was crossing the road in Hoylake and in addition to a dress and full make up, wore a big round motorcycle helmet! Brilliant character.
