Yeah, there is a couple of difficult areas due to storm run off. Lots of loose gravel too. You don’t want to lose momentum in the steeper spots!He's had a real rough monsoon season, washed out that road twice, had to start from scratch both times. The fact you got up there at all is a good sign.
Airship, R101 hangers, Just up the road from me, and Squibb is even closer I believe. Big buggers aren’t they. Big bands rehearse their shows in them. Quita a lot of filming is done in them. Some years back the BRE built a huge block of flats out of timber to test how high they could go, and after all the tests were done they set light to it to test the fireproofing etc.Silver Ball near Royston for breakfast. Then past these huge hangers near Bedford, on the way home. Not sure if this pic shows the scale of just how big they are.

We've had two cold fronts come through. And oddly enough that about what are temps are too. For the next week our highs will be between 5°-10°C. Which is also just a few degrees above my candy ass minimum. So yup, I'll be riding.Today... Finland, South-Karelia, +5 degrees. Someone can say that the driving season is short in Finland. I think it's just a matter of attitude...
I’m a bit north of you and Squibb, in South Northamptonshire. I’ve been riding past these hangers regularly for 25 ish years, never stopped close by before. Took a different route today and found myself closer than previously, so had a nose.Airship, R101 hangers, Just up the road from me, and Squibb is even closer I believe. Big buggers aren’t they.

So, La Nina bring y'all rain? It's opposite for us we get the rain with La Nino. We're drier with Nina.. . . . This La Nina business can fuck right off back up north
Cardington? When I was a Direct Access motorcycle instructor I did my assessment there, on a very very windy RAF runway. A few of us running up and down shouting instructions at pretend pupils wobbling about on large BMWs.Silver Ball near Royston for breakfast.
