Next wheel size fad?

There’s over thirty pages on this very subject on the YACF website.

Yup, it's kept me entertained for ages and I've occasionally wondered why there wasn't something similarly whimsical in This Place .
A source from which to "draw inspiration" .

Anyway: today I was overtaken by a metallic black Aston Martin Vantage (very 007 ) ...with a Union Flag scatter cushion on the parcel shelf (very 007's mum ). What was he thinking?

A cute little painted pebble with a penguin on it, on the slopes of Fan Y Big

Also a pair of underpants, a glove, and various items of clothing....I swear I could have gone out in my pyjamas and come back fully dressed
More exciting though, this

I like these little string bags for bikepacking, they take up virtually no space when empty, and are useful at times after stocking up on food that you don't want to eat straight away....I was just the other day thinking of making one from one of my old fluorecent yellow thin rain/wind coaty things, thinking that would double of up for a bit a visibility when I'm wearing a darker top, but this one will do nicely (especially as most of my cycling tops are orange)

Less pleasant find was that someone had done a dump smack bang right on the actual footpath up to Fan y Big. Then wiped their @rse and also deposited the skid marked tissues all over the path

Ha! Found it! I knew we had a thread somewhere for the odd things we find along the way when out riding....

This one last night, WTF?!?

(sorry, not the best quality photo..)

Salmon, maybe chicken bones and tomatoes? Hard to tell in the photo,
Very odd, is it a wild bbq spot ?

Yep, big hunks of uncooked salmon, cooked chicken bones, and BBQ ed courgettes...

Yes I reckon a discarded BBQ ...

I'm sure the birds of prey are going to love the fish, but I do worry about people chucking out cooked chicken bones, and dogs passing by... mine is so quick to snatch things up, the other day her life flashed before me as she'd picked up a chicken bone, I had quite a job wrestling it out of her mouth, and my thumb has only just healed where she accidentally clamped down on what she thought was chicken bone ...

Yep - twice, in the last week, mine has picked up large chunks of chocolate bar. Luckily, large enough to prevent immediate swallowing, and allow swift retrieval on my part.

Don't ask - I don't know...

...and I'm not sure I want to know.

OK - let's try that again...
