Anyone any plans? My LDWA walking group have rented a few adjacent cottages in a place called Lockton, near Pickering. It's the annual LDWA 100 event and we are running the nearby checkpoint at the 85 mile stage... I've volunteered for the 21:00>03:00+ shift, so expect to see lots of weary footsore walkers as they stride briskly though the night! The event finishes Monday so once cleared up, washed up and sent the final entrants on their way will enjoy walking in the area until later that week. Fingers crossed it remains dry. Living in the Dales and close to the Lakes I've neglected that part of the world so looking forward to rediscovering it. Reply to this message | Report message

Training walk somewhere locally for the coast to coast. It will, however, be entirely flat, unfortunately. Reply to this message | Report message

"Maybe a local bike ride. Out with my Mother for her 91st birthday" Does she ride a Penny-farthing? Reply to this message | Report message       1

Three guesses, but the clues are, mountains, Wales and trying not to fall off. And no, that doesn't involve sheep... 😉 Reply to this message | Report message

I don't intend moving the car from the garage this bank holiday or any other. I'm retired and can do whatever I like mid-week, while the kids are (supposed to be) in school. Reply to this message | Report message       3

A quiet weekend avoiding the people let out from work, many of whom will clutter up the roads and places of interest. Fortunately they will soon return to earning a crust. Reply to this message | Report message

We open bank holidays. Not worth the "cramming 5 days' work into 4 days" effect that follows! In saying that I don't work Mondays now so I might pop down to the Hirsel at Coldstream where their rhododendron/azalea woodland should be in full song.

Hiring a van and helping a young family member moving into his first bought home. No doubt including much use of the tool kit. Changing locks is the first job. Reply to this message | Report message

Off to Huddersfield tomoz for lunch with three ladies I used to work with. Going on the train, cheaper than driving. Friday, out to lunch with SWM and an 85 yr old lady friend of ours...she's paying. Then we might run her to the Kiwi Nursery for some bedding plants if she wants to. I have a new dishwasher to fit on Saturday then out at friends in the evening for dinner. Pottering on garden and Jowett in between. The car is taxed and insured but needs cooling system and transmission sorting out. Kids and grandkids here for lunch on Sunday. Monday free ATM. Any invites gratefully welcomed Reply to this message | Report message

Ok its a bit Fake News, Got the BBQ's out from under cover for the summer (BIIIIG Family BBQ coming up soon), ready to clean, service, test. The Butane one (the biggest BBQ) was plugged into the 7KG tank, turned on the gas taps o the BBQ and WHOOOOOOOAAAAAA Hissy noises, smell of gas. Taint right I thought. Too much pressure I thinks. Turns out my gas regulator (blue one) has failed unsafe. ( I have a spare) IE tank pressure to burners. As Trump would say "Thats a Bad thing, a bad bad thing folks" Not sure how clueless joe public would have fared had they tried to light it Tho mappy would claim it wouldn't have been a perfect explosion, the air/gas ratio would have been wrong.

Ain't got no mains gas (or water) up here, so use bottled (red) gas for the hob. I changes it meself, like, and have often smelled/smelt gas a phew days or so later. Turns out the gas was leaking past the brass screw-in connector, even though I had screwed the bar steward up tight. Me regulator is 10 years olde and never bin changed. Had bottled gas in me Hymer, in an on-board tank, so in effect a mobile WMD. Reply to this message | Report message
