Just read my April Trail and the article on page 5. As an undecided voter, thought it a good idea to email the local candidates as to their views on access by all to the countryside. It is easy to do, one email to all parties which provide an email address for questions on their fliers. The article in...

Am currently reading Mondo Enduro by Austin Vince and his 'Mondo Crew', very good read and inspiring. Read a couple of the Long Way Round/Down/Sideways books by Charlie Boorman and Ewan McGregor and found them dire, dour and very product placement mentioning! Today I bought Mike Carter's 'Uneasy R...
Doug and I had an interesting chat yesterday to a lady in a horse box who was at first a bit irritated to have to stop for our little entourage, but we took the time to let her know she had a rear flat tyre, which she thanked us for and sparked up an interesting and good natured chat. She was obviously a regula...
