The railways should be made to sort those blackberry bushes out!!!

After all the Diesel and tractor jokes it seemed right to be a train for a while

Nothing else untowards happened on the entire ride, yes dear yes dear yes dear yes dear

I've been through it with Rex in a 4x4. I'd take the Scram if it was dry & I had some EO9's or the like , guys on bigger adv bikes would certainly be challenged , it would be a steep learning curve for some. I'm sure Rex would still be keen to try & organise something

Methinks it was Rex I was speaking with, will need to catchup and discuss further

chain was so slack I was really pushing it riding it like that - back wheel too for that matter! New chain and sprocket has turned up, waiting on lens and tyre and she's good as new.

Looking round yep

something with knobs on, better suspension and a wee bit more power.
