I only just sussed this out now after spending the afternoon riding on the other side of the river. I stopped right there a week ago on the Metzeler run too. Might be an excuse for a mid-week ride :niceone:

Mid week you say ?? My days off are wed n thurs free both days between 8.15 and 2.30 :niceone:

I must have passed close by this today on my lower Coro loop excursion. Certainly on the way out anyway.

Post up if you are going out to get it tomorrow or Wednesday. I might be able to tag along (no pun in ten did [anything useful]). Depends on the time of the ride. Always assuming you want company of course.

Out of interest, how do I rotate an image so it uploads on here correctly? Currently my portrait images are uploading sideways. I've tried rotating the pic on my pc but that doesn't help.

Wow, really, no one down there knows where that is.
The Storgae place across the road is a well known old Dairy Company. The bike is a magnificent beast, which is about to be replaced with a more magnificenter! one.
It's south /east of Hamilton, at a rather salubrious hostilery. well known for great grub and good old fashioned hospitatity by it's owners and bar keeps.

I took the Italian (and wore leathers instead of textile, because we all know leather is sexier than textile and Italian is sexier than German). Despite the drizzle the Italian worked, but the leather got damp. Never mind. Tag retrieved. Pub owner talked to. Stomach fed and tag delivered to new location.

I did think I may have left a little too much in there. Are there any rules to this game that would preclude me from doing some editing to the photo before uploading to make it a little more challenging ?
Is it permissible for me to move my own tag after waiting a polite amount of time for others to have a crack ?
I suspect here on KB no-one will care what I do.

Rules are pretty much non existent.
I can't see why you can't shop out easy clues, but the fun is in going, getting and laying out the next one, not looking through endless pics of locations on the net.

You didn't reply within the requisite 30 secs, so I just went for a look. Gates were locked, so I took a pic from the driveway. I wonder if that counts ?
Anyway, tag picked up (pending judge's inquiry) and placed at new location.
Hopefully the absence of sign writing might make this one last more than a week. Come to think of it, I'm heading south on Friday, so if it's still there Friday I'm moving it again.
