    'scuse me mr Padmei. but I think you made an error with the title.
    I just went and checked out wikipedia and I'm pretty sure it's "Halcyon"
    not Halycon
    Can't have us ADV riders portrayed as neanderthals

    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    Adventure riding as social phenomenon?

    feeling trapped by health and safety? ................sick of meetings (which are longer and more moronic with every passing year)?.... fed up with rush hour traffic?... one more workplace evacuation drill and you will kill someone? .....

    Have i got a deal for you.... freedom and space... come adventure riding !!!

    ....then my jaw hit the floor....

    ...she must've been about 20, medium length dark hair, amazingly curved, long legs, generously proportioned in the upper region, and the face of a dark angel....

    Oi where is the rest of the story ??????
