Twice as far as me again but I did do a 3 mile Cat 3 climb so I don't feel too guilty!

Quite lucky in some respects i am not aware of any real climbs locally anywhere near 3 miles in length

In the same way that old buildings outlive any of the monstrous glass and metal cack about now.

Yes! Modern buildings don't seem to last long .
We had a new Magistrates court built some years ago . It doesn't exist anymore! It is now a super market.

Sandwiches prepared for a picnic and a long, leisurely ride to nowhere along the lesser trodden ways (un)planned.

One of these days I'm going to get one of those wicker basket things for the rear rack and turn one of my roadsters in the ultimate summer picnic machine

Good spot. It's my birthday next month so I thought I ought to clean myself up.

I had a Commer pop top camper 1600cc. You had to bank it into corners I remember. Terrible convoluted gear change which continually got stiff, and clutch was very heavy. Really needed big boots to drive it. Tin worm eventually got it and MOT man said he would give me an MOT this time but never bring it back.

We had a minibus at school, seats down the side, wooden bench down the middle. Wouldn't be legal today.

That long!?

Was that a typo? Did you type 'mins' when you meant to put 'secs'?

When you're only allowed sweets once a week, it the way you do it.
