Bought all my gear

The shop had some porridge packs which looked good for breakfast so I went for those. Got a medium bottle of gas for my stove so others can use it too.

I had a chat with Purple head but he said he might be moving house, didn't hear back after that. Getting to Scotland isn't the issue for me, I'm more than happy to get the train for most of the way. The problem is getting from a station to the campsite which is a mission, the closest station is still far away.

Hay sorry i've dissapeared for a while uvarvu. The lift is still open to you. I'm currentley working near Bedford and will finish work at 4pm but i can hang on for a while if you cant make that time. i belive weescott gave you my mob no. so give me a call and we can sort out what we are doing.

Heya, no worries! I've taken that day off so I can be there at 4pm or earlier. Weescott hasn't given me your number yet, will email in trust. Is Bedford station OK or shall I travel to a different one?

weescott · 12 Apr 2011 at 07:41

I gave you his number on the first email uvarvu.

uvarvu · 12 Apr 2011 at 09:33

Yep got that, I'm a doughnut!

Have a good one, I've already agreed to join an office trip to Glentress on Saturday so I won't be able to join in but give me a shout if anyone spots a bright green Rocky Mountain ETSX...

It will be easier for you to spot a load of pale geeks on bikes

Speak for yourself!

The weather for peebles is looking good for Saturday so far but we all know how the forecast is subject to change. You'll probably have to check the forecast on the day itself!

ROLL ON GLENTRESS.

Bedford should be the best option for me. Give me a call when ever and we can sort out arrangements.

OK

Will give you a ring tomorrow night

Surely your 'distinctive' frame will be giveaway enough, custard-boy?

A few people have head cams and the like plus I will be bringing my SLR to do some shooting, hope to get some good shots on the bike park

Come on we all know the best color of a frame is yellow! And the Brighter the yellow the better. Have you had any thoughts about a certain rock at Inerlathen??

Nice I was going to chuck my SLR in the car for some afternoon shoots on the bike part as well.

Mini-sledgehammer packed and ready

Naaah, I'll just ride the damn thing properly this time... although I'd look a proper twunk if i came off on the same rock!

Armour being worn on both days riding this time methinks!

Oh, and hows the face?

booyaka · 14 Apr 2011 at 14:01

armour?? Now i'm worried!

Last up the climbs and slowest down the hills - that's my mantra for Saturday!!
