I only met her once, but I can say she is one of those small group of people that you can easily remember. Says volumes.
To Col and her other friends and family I'm sorry for your loss.
... and excellent that she was riding to the end!

They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them
Thanks Col. Do you want us to do the escort thing? And would you like a bunfight afterwards?
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?
Never met her, but got a laff from some of her posts, and many deep thought posts as well. Not forgetting her energising will too never give up (or don't let the bastards get you)
She will be missed... RIP BMW![]()
I'm very sad to hear this, RIP Shirley.![]()

Im really sorry to hear that. She was a wonderful women who contributed a huge amount to the site and always had a kind word when you needed it. My thoughts go out to her family and friends.
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh sooner or late
And how can a man die better
Than facing fearful odds
For the ashes of his fathers
And the temples of his Gods
Ride free forever girl. xxx
Like others have said, have enjoyed her posts even though I never got a chance to meet her - wasn't that long ago I was reading about her adventures in the SI. She sounds like a hardcase (in all the best ways).
Kia kaha Col ...

Ah crap..... Thats really grim reading, Shirley faced some mountains, any one of which would have scared a generation of stout hearted climbers but somehow she managed to traverse nearly the whole range.... Nearly...
Damn tough and persistent person who won most peoples admiration and respect.
I have read in Plato and Cicero sayings that are wise and very beautiful; but I have never read in either of them: Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden."

RIP BMW! I hope you have found a peaceful haven and can rest...
Vale Shirl. I'm gutted and floundering. Always up for a good belly laugh, delivering a mind-numbing tale of survival, or a bloody scrap; sometimes in the same 5 minutes. Despite challenges that very few knew about she was always doing something for someone else. She's earned her peace. See you Saturday.
Rest in Peace Shirley
