Tempus Fugit

I hadn't realised that a whole week had passed without a word from me.

Thursday was a good day, Chris and I took the Motorbikes (Me on the Harley) for a long run taking in Sabden, Clitheroe, Grassington, Kettlewell, over the Famous Coverdale road to Middleham, Leyburn, Reeth, Muker, Buttertubs pass, Hawes, Ribblehead, Ingleton, High Bentham, Great Harlow, Slaidburn, Sawley then back over the Nick of Pendle, Sabden again and Home. A truly great run over some of the best motorcycling roads in the country, and to make things even better, we stayed dry!

Friday I went out with my friend Pete, he on the Vincent and Me on the AJS. we had a gentle ride to slaidburn and back, taking in a brew and a cream covered scone at the cafe in Slaidburn.


Saturday not as good, went fishing with a gentleman called Arthur who hadn't tried fly fishing before and sadly we caught nothing. It was quite a cool windy evening, at about 20-30 hrs it looked like the trout were beginning to rise, but too dark by that time to change flies or really see what was was happening, so we called it a day.

Grandson Thomas stayed over Saturday night, so we all went for a short walk this morning and managed to get home before the rain set in.
