Well, that was just fucking stupid Drove up the Black Mountain to get some scenery shots, it was full of wankers everywhere blocking the roads so they could play in the snow, soooo I had an idea. "I know" I though to myself, "I'll head up Betws Mountain, that won't be busy", I know a short cut through route I used to take on the dirt bikes when I came off Rhiwfawr and headede up Baran Mountain. so off I set, I very quickly realised it may not have been the best idea I ever had, especially in my Shitroen C3, asx the first obstacle I remembered I always encountered on route was a sheet of ice across that always forms when it's cold, sod that though I know it well enough to get a sensible speed up and skaet over it, job done, this is a very trick and tight single track road with just enough room for one car and in places it has sheer drops one one side and ditches the other, but persist I did, please with myself at getting up some of the snow and ice covered inclines and round some of the 180 tight hill turns on single tracks, I was just 5 minutes from destination when I encountered a long steep hill so I got as much speed as I could muster trying my best to not let the wheels spin but alas half way up it just wouldn't grip any more, FUCK, I had come down similar sloaps to get where I was, I managed to very gingerly revers down the frozen slope and got to a point that was a tiny bit wider but not really enough to turn in, I managed it anyway by reversing the rear end as much as I could up a bank but then had to gather grit from the river in the small valley in front of the car placed the grit in front of my front wheels (its a front wheel drive POS), hit the accelerator so the front end slid round to the right rather than going off down the valley and into the river, whooo hoo, job down, continued back on the road I came down juft to find another hill too steep to ascend, FUCK again, nobody here no phone signal. I began to liitterally scrape the tarmac with a windscreen ice scraper and only had about 200m of it to clear LOL, fortunately before done some other cars got stuck too further down so we all chipped in and got one car up at a time, one of them had been further along the route all night (twat), eventually got home, frozen hands and not one fucking picture. Here's the route, have a ball and do a street view imagining it covered in frozen snow and ice GPS co-ords for start 51.761599, -3.880478 GPS co-ords for stuck point 51.765916, -3.927134

If I go to an Indian restaurant I'm in the curry house, does that mean if I go to a Chinese restaurant I'm in the dog house?

I'd call them wankers but I doubt they could get a stiffy

Everything is going to be absolutely OK, I know this because some woman in mid Wales at the rear end of nowhere has put a flag up to support you, all is good now.

Your's is @saul@bikers.social mine is @photo@toot.wales

Yeah, like anything techy it takes a bit of learning, there are Youtube videos to help Basically the entire network is made up of separate servers (instances) pretty much anyone can create an instance whether it's for a group/individual/whatever, an instance can and often do block many other instances as there's a hell of a lot of porn/sexual soliciting/extreme racism etc out there I'm on the toot.wales as it seemed appropriate I avoid the arty/photography one's as they're very lefty softy for my tastes, millions have deserted Twitter and found Mastodon as an alternative so there's lots of whingy twatter users looking for "safe spaces" (twerps), I just post pics on there and immediately block any obvious far lefties as it winds me up to read the crap, I should imagine the biker.social will be more to your liking but you can see people from other instances if you wish

Mainly for Pete this one as there's a lot of folk moved over to using mastodon, it's a social media network, not owned by anyone made up of countless linked up servers (instances) each with it's own flavour and there is at least one for bikers at bikers.social which could potentially harvest new users for here, you can set up an instance of your own and limit it to just one person or a group or everyone, the main instance no longer accepts registrations so you have to sign up to another instance like bikers.social, I'm at @photo@toot.wales signed up on toot.wales as "photo". I got fed up with all the bollocks on FB/Instagram never really used twatter or pinterest so all my accounts on all other social media sites are now shut down

No Pete, whenever I try that it gets harder and harder

DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, I'M NOT A REAL DOCTOR! Doctor Cupid's top tip: If you've got a hurty toe causing lots of pain and you notice that the nail is thicker and discoloured it's probably a fungal infection, if it has also become infected under the nail (the cause of the major pain) then get the Dremel out and slowly grind the nail thickness down, don't concentrate on one area for too long as the heat will cause a lot more hurty and sweary, keep going a bit at a time until your face starts getting splattered with pus, this is when you know you've gone far enough and your expert diagnosis was correct, now your left with soggy bits of nail that can be pulled off with tweezers, careful not to stab the hurty part, that gets really sweary then, all evacuated, job done no doctors required though apparently a psychiatrist is recommended DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME, I'M NOT A DOCTOR!

Mods? WTF, anything goes here or have people been spelling "Cunt" wrong too much?

You should have moved to France

It's the state of becoming aware that everyone who isn't white and male is underprivileged and that white males are all privileged and then acting upon it. Most notably like when Gillette launched their clearly biased advert which appeared to site white men as evil and all women and non whites as saviours, costing their business millions in lost revenue as they'd targeted their prime customer base, hence the phrase "get woke go broke" It's akin to what was being taught in schools and many institutions "Critical Race Theory" All this shit perpetuates racism and division and I'm bloody certain the far left financial supporters like George Soros know this very well

So, I looked at changing my wallpaper in google Chrome OS, the first thing I see is the categories of wallpapers available to me. 1, LGBTQ 2. Latino 3. Black 4. Landscapes No mention of White or Asian at all That's not fucking equality or inclusion, that's racism and exclusion

It wasn't a "Jam sandwich" it was older than that, all blue old shape Rover 3.5, 1974

Yeah, apparently it still has to be taxed but at £0, no records now so I'd guess it has been scrapped for a very long time However the police car that used to stop us all the time as kids is still on record SMP619M it was a 3.5 rover

No idea mate, I would seriously doubt it Can't check it like modern vehicles as if it still existed it would be classed as an historical vehicle and exempt from MOT and Tax

My Dad's Lambretta, bought in 1955 for £155 plus 7/6p tax He kept it until 1973, Pete would never have a bike that long

Bomb squad called to A&E when man came into hospital with WWII explosive stuck in his rectum He claimed that he fell on it https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/bomb-squad-rushed-ae-after-22354925?utm_source=linkCopy&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar

Damn it storm Arwen This bloody storm has knocked my garden waste bin over, God only knows what would have happened if it had something in it I had to walk all the way out there to set it upright Better not be another one next year

Ahhh the beauty of satnav as I used to say to you before then, it doesn't stop you venturing it does the opposite allowing you to follow your nose until you're totally lost then switch it on and get back easily You'll have to go back there now

Have you ridden the A-319 North west of you yet Pete? Looks like a stunning road and scenery

Well having said in another thread that drones are useless for spying as the cameras are ultra wide angle and even people fairly close are unrecognisable Well, not if it's me building one LOL, back in 2015 I decided to play around with some tech (as I do) and put a 10 x zoom camera onto a purpose built (by me) multirotor (drone) so if I could get stable video without too much shake I also tried a 30 x zoom camera but it was too shaky when zoomed in

Last time I rode to North Wales I refused to take any main road, it was pissing down all the way and it took me 6 hours Coming back over the mountains in gale force winds was an interesting experience, bike at 25 degrees tilt (no kidding) and the rain coming up vertically into my helmet, shitting my pants getting thrown all over the road, they're memories and stories to tell later in life, I can't remember the rides where it was all pleasant and nothing interesting happened
