The fly sheet was BLANK - just a name and adress on one side and clear open space on the other

as was mine.

Hi Tony I thank you for clarifying. There was nothing else, oh well,

same here.

Yep !! All that arrived was one magazine, one flysheet blank and one polythen outer.

The letters page is getting a bit feisty. I think Boab should pen something to set things straight.

[Does this Victoria Huffton actually exist? Or was it a cunning ploy to get the Letters Page bulging again?]


Hmmm. Victoria Hufton-Left, you think?

Only one yacf jersey spotted this time.  Poor show.  But loads of forumites, of course, including two authors of articles.

Make that three forumites then. 

Peter, your articles were just as good as usual.  You're making me sick at the fact that I probably won't get to do the Old 240 this time round.

MrB, congrats on your jogle article.

I take it that since 'finishing teams' are listed for the easter arrow, that means we have been 'awarded' an arrow?

Peter, you have a habit of writing up difficult rides as they were, well, a ride in the park!  Good grief man, you'll be drummed out of audax uk for making out that audax doesn't involve suffering!

It appears on my rides list on the AUK website so we've been officially credited with the ride.

Cards usually take a while to come back.

@ Bunbury  Thanks!  I enjoyed your ingenious Jogle - a wizard wheeze!  I'm impressed by your snowy ascent of the Coverdale west face!

@ mrcharly  Thank you, too.  We don't want to put people off, do we?  Actually, I just tend to set off, then hang on.  It's worked  - so far!

Well done with your Arrow - that was a really impressive achievement.

It doesn't take much to flatter me!
It was good though.
I never got round to writing anything about Avalon Sunrise 400.
Did Jaded compile anything yet?

There's an advert for a Hungarian 1000 - looks interesting, but no date given.


It's already been and gone.  :(

Mine hasn't arrived yet. There might have been some of my contributions in it but I have yet to see.

May I be the first to say that the cover of the latest Arrivée is the most attractive for a long time....

I presume Tim has passed all the Snow roads stuff on to the editor for the next issue. Must also pass on the Mille Alba pics.

One of the best written and most amusing articles for a long time. Chapeau! Of course I haven't read the rest yet :-)
Besides, it wouldn't be audacious if success were guaranteed.
