Unfortunately I've been banned from, ahem, Shitham ( not my renaming obvs) for this evening, so I would have been riding from Colchester.
I note your wise and empathetic words Tomsk.I may have chuckled at the other comments, I expect nothing less from you bunch of reprobates. I'm hoping we can all meet up soon to enjoy some banter, though as you know it's difficult for one as shy and retiring as myself to make fun of others

And I suppose this "ban" is in place only during periods of non-fandango-friendly weather - which would be quite an extensive period covering most of the year.

Quote from: Septimus Fitzwilliam Beauregard Partridge on 10 June, 2020, 05:35:34 amDon’t spoil it for me!It's a cracking read. Last night I learned about how to bivvy upright on a narrow ledge at height on the Matterhorn, roped on. Can't see me doing that anytime soon![
Don’t spoil it for me!
I may have written Matterhorn, but it was actually the north face of the Eiger. The upright bivvying was on the third night, 12,300 feet up. This was all back in the 60s, so equipment may have improved since then.
This damp weather plays havoc with my joints you know.
The Dutch Wife and I are happy to host a Wednesday evening at Thistley Green some time. Plenty of space and we could do a bbq or equivalent if people are interested? Plus plenty of space for bivvying between the ducks and the cows...

Whatever we do this week I'm quite keen to have a cook out for no other reason than it'll be a fun thing to do. Obvs we can do it in loads of different places. What does everyone think?

The matter is under consideration...
The cooking faff is the point!
