I dont think I would want that first picture in an album of mine if I was the rider:

Looks like you guys had a fantastic time. If I can get away next time, count me in.

Rick.

I am shocked and horrified that I am shorter than Jessica

I thought I was at least the same height

Mind I do remember thinking as I went to dismount that it was a hell of a long way down

As usual a very entertaining read young Gremlin, you forgot to mention the effect of your lights in the dark, I truely have never seen anything so BRIGHT. Actually wondered what the hell was coming down the road.

You did very well in TEC, I specially enjoyed the weaving approaching Hohoura on the way south

I am certain if it had been dark I would have seen sparks

As far as forgetting your toothbrush on the way home, I reckon that was deliberate given the obvious fun you were having when you overtook us after you had turned back south again

Walking down the hill to the lighthouse was all good, the up hill was a bit of a mission. I admit I had to dig a bit there towards the end

Still I was not going to miss out for anything.
