Utility ride. Love my Brommie. 5 mins to station. 11.17 nonstop train to Watford Junction, currently doing 112mph at Tring. Cross platform for 11.45 to St Albans Abbey. Brom to White Hart Tap. Lunchies with old work chums. In reverse later. Nice chilled day out.

I hope you put that tasteful bedside table back exactly where you found it .

Nice looking spot that

Well that's given pause for thought. Good luck with the ongoing bivvy therapy .

Any luck?

Then on Thursday, we'll find out the state of the towpath along the Grand Union Canal from Tring to Leighton Buzzard and beyond, during the return leg. You'll be fine :smile: . Very smooth Tring - Marsworth. Pop in to the Red Lion for a pint! Marsworth - Cheddington a bit squirrely, same past The G...

Welcome to the.....

Any pagans worship the sunrise from their tarp?

I know, I know, creature of habit. But only in some ways, in many ways not. Problem with hobbits is they can be habit forming.

Chilly..... frozen..... cold...... I'm dreaming of those lovely temperatures .

Nice sunrise pic of course .

Hmm... Harumph

Both those last two are pretty horrendous aren't they, well spotted gents. The right-hand Tailfin photo looks like the model is being burned at the stake which seems an appropriate retribution.

Still got the issue of trespass though. Not sure how that will pan out. "The government's plan includes new legislation which will target crimes such as organised begging by gangs and trespassing, a statement said". Not sure we beg in a gang very often (although I wouldn't say no if the Sp...

Kicked out at half ten, time to find a spot. Wandered the station yard, and then the industrial estate, looking shady and furtive. No old sheds, no hidden bushes, hopeless. So back up the hill we go. I checked out one of the mothballed group of NHS buildings, noticing the CCTV just slightly too late...

And finally The Ramonas with everyone joining in the lyrics and generally getting a bit shouty and boisterous. Onetwothreefour!

I followed NCN442 and various gravel tracks into town, remembering as ever that the standard 3-spd Brom is too highly geared for my riding, and noted various bivvy possibilities including some woods and a couple of mothballed NHS sites.

Time for another session of.... yes!.... BromGigPacking :-bd . Mentioned to Mrs P that I was intending to a/ do my June BaM, and b/ attend yet another Young Persons Popular Music Concert. "What? TWO outings in a month? Have you even looked at the leaking shed roof yet?" quoth she. Aha, say...
