WWB - now with added details.

That's gotta be full of sheep crap isn't it?
So close to the road as well, good find.

As a whistle.

So close to the road as well

Not sure why you think it's close to the road. I suppose as the crow flies it's not 'that' far but as the bikepacker pushes, it's much, much further.

It's close to the road one way, I wasn't inferring that you'd take us the easy way, I've known you long enough.

[Karl]

All being well I'll tag along please Stu.

[burty]

[Bearbonesnorm]

have ewe got a plan of some sorts yet stu

Very nearly

[benp1]

Which is a politicians way of saying no

"I have a plan for a plan"

[Karl]

Plan, where we're going we don't need a plan.

[Verena]

Does it involve breakfast?

[Bearbonesnorm]

Does it involve breakfast?

It probably doesn't involve breakfast so come prepared.

Not good enough

[Bearbonesnorm]

Not good enough

I was considering taking my frying pan and making everyone some breakfast as a special treat, I suppose that's one less bacon butty now then

[burty]

you may even have a dirty evil ebike there , depending on mileage
or viv could just ride one of her normal ones

I was also contemplating options for safely carrying bacon and eggs....

O btw Stu, Hermione is asking if Ruby would like one of those toy pheasants? She's seen some nice ones for sale and is hoping to get one for Christmas...Let me know and I could bring one with me at the weekend for her....

Very kind. I'm sure she'd love one as her favourite rubber chicken isn't long for this world

Okay then, I promised a 'plan' and here it is in all its scant detail.

Meet at the carpark at SN 901616 (it's at the side of the Afon Claerwen about 3km downstream of the reservoir dam) around noon - although if tradition is any indicator, don't expect to be off and away at noon

Don't expect to be covering monster miles.
Don't bank on visiting a cafe or pub.
Don't expect to keep your feet dry.
Hope for a roof but be prepared not to have one.
Do expect it to be raining and windy.

Can anyone who still thinks that sounds like a good idea, please just say 'yay' or similar, so there's less excuse for setting off without anyone.

[RIP]

That's a comprehensive set of 'lack of expectations'. Perfect recipe for a caper in fact .

Look forward to hearing about, er, well, nothing happening then .

[Bearbonesnorm]

Cunning ploy Reg. Now, no matter what happens it'll seem great

[RIP]

Few people know that Dickens actually wrote a novel called Minor Expectations. He didn't think it would appeal to a wide enough audience so was forced to change the title and indeed the content.

Luckily, in Here we have little care for 'wider audiences'.

[Verena]

Yay or similar.

[Verena]

Cunning ploy Reg. Now, no matter what happens it'll seem great

Works well I find for life in general...expect everything to be pants, then be sometimes pleasantly surprised

[Karl]

Yey

[burty]

yay here x2
do we have a approx mileage stu , just working out what bike viv is taking
