Heading for Buckingham at the moment at a very respectable pace. We may have an early gibbon.

A cheeky little shoot to the north delayed the crossing, sneaky Mr A.

Brilliant.  I bet the Bells are ringing out now.  If Steve does more Gibbons this evening he will hear the Church Bells as it's Practise Night.  Not sure if Steve has found out about our Ringing celebrations for 3 months completed?  Maybe one of the team could drop it into conversation during a feed feast one evening?

Go Steve

Buzzing round the Gibbon like a blue-arsed fly.
I've dusted off all those old bottles and set them up straight

Strange local holding pattern today, wonder if any of the meetings in the calendar for next two days have been rescheduled for today  ???
Perhaps a picture of a "gibboning" in action.  ;D

A "replay" feature for the tracker would come in handy when trying to determine the exact number of Gibbons.

Here's the action shot with 4 Gibbons visible and #5 about to happen.



(from here:- http://www.bikehike.co.uk/mapview.php?lnk=http://audaxclubhackney.co.uk/tg/Steve_Abraham.gpx )

Since then, it looks like he's looped round to the North, and back through again in an E->W pass for #6.

Who agrees this month should henceforth be renamed "Marsh"?
