This one is for my step-father, who once again is back in hospital. He had a hip replacement done back in March, but it got infected. spent 18 weeks in hospital. He had a hip reduction done 4 weeks ago where the replacement hip is removed and replaced with cement impregnated with antibiotics. yesterday morning that cement hip broke and he is now back in hospital indefinitely. Hopefully tomorrow will bring better news.

Loch Etive - Scotland. February 2007. camping wild, alone, temps down to -11C (so think layer of ice over the sleeping bag in the morning and my gas burner decided life was too cold).

The like is for the picture only. My best wishes go to your Step father for a speedy resolution of his Hip Problems and a good recovery.

I second that.

My mum came from that area and I went up there in 2011 for her memorial service. I did a mountain bike ride with some Scottish family and friends, along the NW side of the loch. We toyed with the idea of trying to push on round the loch but decided that it might be a bit extreme. (We weren't sure how many bridges there would be over the numerous waterways (burns?) feeding the loch.) We turned round and went back via Bonawe quarry.

As I have no friends to go out riding today - I thought I'd make my own mini peloton.

Here's a shot from my recent holiday to Italy; a rider in I Novi Colli kit, although this was taken a few miles south east of Amalfi.

I couldn't cycle today due to hip pain, but I did manage a walk along the beach at the end of my road and it looked like this tonight.

Great picture - is that 'your' beach?
