Can't find the damn charger for my DX bastid! Will look harder and if I find it I'll be there, if not than just pop in to the shop for some gear cables and winter gloves.

Anybody wanting Rambo Whisky (as it is known in some parts) will have to come out to mine. I won't be getting out until at least 7pm so will be staying local. And anyways not much left until I make up this years vintage which won't be ready until some time in 2011. Might be a long hard winter.

damn you!!! i want bramble pop and i want it tomorrow at 8pm!!!

Anyway... i can look at the light situation and will actually charge them... (i did last week so will blame N-Power for a shoddy feed to the building this time)

see you all there and remember if you can't maintain a conversation and laugh as you ride then you are probably putting in wayyy to much effort right there.

Hadn't time to reply last night; in, scrape-wash, bed. Nice little ride, and no damage caused as I didn't put my mud tyre on... Forest routes in the dark rule, esp. with water lapping on one side.
All my pics were cr@p, and vids not much better but here's a couple of short ones -

p.s. apologies to whomever got a maximum close-up of the wet roots at the end; trust there's no lasting damage...?
