Is he in danger of turning into a Wormelow Tump? Though he's a bit old for that.

Beware of Wyre Piddle. Although I beleive Penicillin clears it up in a few days.

<The Meaning of Liff>

When my MIL died and a minister came round he saw a copy of that lying on the table, picked it up and said "Ah yes, the meaning of life..." then sighed and put it down again.

Wanker.

Overtaking me would add a hell of a lot of miles to his total. It's a long way, you know!

Just noticed that.

After Steve's record attempt, I think that's my favourite thing so far this year!

Dibdib · « **Reply #41 on:** February 02, 2015, 11:36:49 am »

Hmm. Marsh Gibbon a) has a pub, b) is near enough exactly a 100mi round trip from Swindon, and c) would fill that annoying gap in my Strava heatmap.

Challenge accepted! (just the once mind, I'm not nuts like Steve)

Ian H · « **Reply #42 on:** February 02, 2015, 11:40:30 am »

Shouldn't this be entitled 'Yet Another Marsh Gibbon'?

Wowbagger · « **Reply #43 on:** February 02, 2015, 12:59:46 pm »

According to the parish council's website, Marsh Gibbon has two pubs, The Greyhound, and The Plough.

srw · « **Reply #44 on:** February 02, 2015, 01:26:19 pm »

And not just two pubs.

It's in Buckinghamshire.

A recent New Scientist has a cover story: "Speaking Gibbonish - deciphering the banter of the apes". Just wonder if the last word was a mis-type for "auks"

Climberruss · « **Reply #46 on:** February 02, 2015, 03:23:16 pm »

I decided to look at a route to ride from home (Nottingham) to Marsh Gibbon and back to pay homage! It rather conveniently work out at 204 miles - A Full Tommy!!

The Bonk · « **Reply #47 on:** February 02, 2015, 06:06:52 pm »

Does these mean a Marsh Gibbon meet up is a possibility? Do we need to start a list?
I'd be riding from Sheffield.

jsabine · « **Reply #48 on:** February 02, 2015, 07:04:26 pm »

Without any modification, Google Walking gives me 101km from home to Marsh Gibbon.

OTOH and more worryingly, it also warns that:
