Happiest when out on my MTB usually in Yorkshire & Derbyshire with occasional ventures further afield.
Also enjoy photography, reading, films & tech.

I had a vague memory of reading this book as a child in the mid 1970s. I couldn't recall any details other than an old ivory puzzle, a lost piece and a reservoir low water level in a summer drought. After a bit of searching on the Internet my patience was rewarded and my mystery book located

"The Map that Came to Life" was a favourite childhood book I recall from the 1970s. With a bit of help from AI I've reimagined 2025 style. That book really appealed to my imagination, each page showing a section of map and how it would have looked. Anyone else remember it?

I know it's morbid, but I can't believe it's 18 years since my wife died from breast cancer at the age of 43. She'd have been 61 today and the proud mother of 3 wonderful children. She's missed seeing them grow and mature into the young adults they are today. And of course they've missed so much too

The third pic is heading south from Black Tor. The fourth is what we call "Alpine" and the steep descent down to Ashopton.
I've marked them on the map attached

Another stonker of a ride including plenty new terrain. As always with TMs you come away feeling you've been mountain biking not just riding a mountain bike.
Good tech - good laughs - good fun. What's not to like? 👌

Now showing, live from Washington, The Trump & Musk show... 😂
It must be excruciatingly embarrassing to be an adult American seeing these two baby men behaving this way in public. But it's fun to watch from afar.

This is a book firmly of its time (1925) - emotionally restrained, socially rigid, and steeped in the unquestioned colonial inhuman racism and exploitation of empire. The buttoned up, suppressed emotions feel very alien today, much like the clipped tone of Brief Encounter. #books #reading #novels

Quiet, atmospheric and poignant. This book is more about painting a picture about a small knot of people than knitting a plot. Very enjoyable though in a Cider With Rosie or A Month in the Country way.

It's taken a while to complete, but this is a long novel that deserves taking time to read and fully absorb. It explores deep emotions including trauma, guilt and human choices few would ever be unfortunate enough to experience.

Trump's stellar hypocrisy is completely off the scale. He promotes complete lies as news whilst claiming all real news is fake. He will go down in history as an egregious stain on American history.

Freedom Friday in the Peaks with a few pals. Double climb of Win Hill 💪 plus lots of juicy single track enduro. Magnificent weather, fast flowing dry trails and breathtaking scenery. What's not to like? 🙂

The old favourite route... Ringinglow, Burgage Edge, Padley Gorge, Curbar Edge, Devil's Elbow and Limb Valley. It is always good to spending the day MTBing with my son 👍

Freedom Friday fun in the sun. Bamford, Stanedge and Hathersage. Just about perfect on all fronts. The weather, the route and the company.

Donald, you just need to wait a few days until the paint has dried on the plane Qatar is giving you... 😆

A very enjoyable day riding in fabulous weather and dry conditions in the North York Moors from Lord Stones via Chop Gate and Clay Bank with my son. It doesn't get better than this 🙂
