[RIP]

Rivers of fire.... I'd forgotten the hand-in-flames I'm-rock-hard-me demonstration as well

No sense no feeling Reg , but that children is how not to light a 8g meths stove
A bit like the old advert and prodigy tune “Charlie says”
That’s what you get when you mix a gobsh1te a lighter and flammable liquid

[psling]

So that's where the term "blooming hell" originated from....

[RIP]

As I recall, it was a slightly racier exclamation.....

[redefined_cycles]

I may even be back in for BAM next year

I'm totally confused as to wherher it was MaM or Reg that said this. But anyway, me too. Never managed mire than a few months but am having a 2 month break and gonna call my first BaM2021 this WE thingy. Gonna aim the full 12 months this time for the full 2021. No skewiffiness...

[redefined_cycles]

Oh my word... It's got worse. I've done a 'Reg'. Sorry

Peter has spent 3 days with me Reg , I’m pretty sure he learnt a few new words and expressions over those days and nights

Just had a thought, for you folk in England and Wales its easy enough to stick GR's on Bridleways or byways but not so simple up here. ROW's or Core paths aren't shown on the OS and would take a fair bit of detective work to find on the various council websites. Although we can technically go anywhere in reality its not like that and away from open moors and hills you are quite limited. So you may need to fiddle the draw to put Scotland residents together??

[Jay_ACWR]

I think I know the answer but I’ve got my map sorted, do I hold on to it until you assign me a partner? Cheers

Hi Jay, yes we'll do the partner draw this Sunday. Good stuff with your own map, although of course you won't know which other map you'll need for working out some GRs for your partner until you find out where said partner lives . (I'm still wondering who's going to have to obtain a map of Lanzarote!). Apologies if I've misunderstood your question.

Ta for heads up Phil. Can't see a prob bunching you lot up there together. JC? Then again pairing an Angle with a Scot, they might learn summat new about each other's access rights .

Are you sure? Normally as soon as one of us 'southerners' mentions Right of Way Colin pops up to brag about how you can go anywhere

We'll just pick grid refs that are on the HT550, CL or B350, in fact perhaps if you join them up it will be one of those or all of them combined

Someone's getting tetchy! Maybe it's the mind altering rays from that alien obelisk.

No that's perfect, nice one. I have an old map of spain somewhere next to the donkey in a sombrero and maracas i brought back from Benidorm once, Lanzarote cant be too far away from that?

[JohnClimber]

Ok with me

[fatbikephil]

Cheers chaps although it may still cause problems I'm sure but at lease we can't blame the English if it does (disclaimer - I'm English)

I once joined all those up and it made a very rude shape indeed.

4 Scottish rider and rider groups now separated on the first post.

Can we get any more for Scotland or anywhere in the UK for that matter joined up before Saturday evening?

[JohnClimber]

Slight edit to the "rule"

All entries now need to be in before 8pm this Saturday the 12th December.

Reg and myself are drawing the pairs from 8pm on Saturday.

[ScotRoutes]

Ah feck it.

Add me to the MacList

[Asposium]

May I change my location to Southampton?

Ta

[RIP]

If you get stuck with me as partner I think NH833052 will be on ze list .
