I sure like the photos in/near the cave, and the bridleway towards Loughrigg Terrace. It looks like the first signs of a coming spring might be making themselves known -- at least you all had sunshine!

Thanks for sharing these so generously.

Best,

Dan.

Post by: Danneaux on February 18, 2013, 12:30:40 AM: Wonderful photos as always, Simeon; thanks so much for sharing them so generously (my weekly treat).

In that third photo, the one titled, "A view of John’s bike at Bank Houses..."...has John been doing these rides on a fixed gear?!? :o

Wow! Man! You guys had my respect before, but this...this scares me! Iron men and women on steel bikes, surely.

Respect!

All the best,

Dan.

Don't worry about John its a standing joke in the Group that John changes his bike every month and on next week ride he back riding his Orange mountain bike.

All the best,

Men of steel
...except they don't rust from laying about 'cos they're unstoppable! My vote is for Men of Stainless Steel! ;D

Wonderful photos and adventures as always, Simeon. I notice what appears to be a red Thorn, perhaps a Raven Tour? in there as well this time.

Best,

Dan.

Post by: geocycle on February 28, 2013, 01:42:09 PM: Sad to see the picture of Cafe Anne. She/it was a loss to Clapham. The reading room is not bad but not a replacement and you don't get served by Alan Bennett! Interesting choice of the Settle Down, I've been a Ye Olde naked man kind of guy myself!
