A tip for you. If you happen to go to Spain don't venture into any abandoned buildings as there may be a mangy ginger person hiding in wait ...........

Cancer, I don't know the details but it must have been fairly quick. Either that or he didn't tell anyone . -

I've been to both. You can visit Imber village twice a year , we usually do a trail run to it. I used to deliver to some of the tunnels under and around Corsham, I've even driven a small lorry under one of them. A lot of big wine companies use them nowadays as the temperture down there is perfect for storing wine. -

After a swift coffee from my flask I rode down to Naunton to ride the lane that James had ridden three months ago ........... Then i rode some more lanes in the area.............. and then onto the fords at Kineton. The concrete exit ramp nearly caught me out here as it was very square-edged and caused me to stall on the exit but luckily i started quickly and got away without dropping the bike ........... and then I rode some more lanes before turning south ............. This one was annoying as it had SIX gates along it, a pain in the arse when you're on your own ................ At the end of Ryknild street I came across this , what's going on when Crocuses are growing in October ? and then I rode some proper green lanes to get back to the Fosseway north of Cirencester............. I also found a new (to me) lane on the way back ............. and then stopped at my cross to get a photo ............ and then the rest of the way back was spent dodging showers............... -
So having seen the sad passing of James Higgs I thought I'd look at his you tube channel and see where his last videos were. He had put up a video of a lane at Naunton on the Cotswolds so today I decided to go and ride it and a few others in his memory. The weather was decent when I left Bristol at 9.00 but by time I got onto the Cotswolds it was quite foggy.......... By time I got up to the old WW2 airfield near Chedworth I was dying for a piss so into the woods I went, while I was there I stumbled upon an old building . @XTreme would have been proud of me but there were no dead dogs inside so I left a bit sharpish ........... I got down to Compton Abdale and there was evidence of how wet it has been ............... I rode through Salperton and onto the first lane which ends at the Notgrove long barrow .................. There was evidence of me bashing through the undergrowth on my top box.............

I didn't ride the T700 , I just pre-ordered it.
