Once Spring gets here we'll have to arrange a meetup point! 

Still hoping to visit the haunted Sanatorio in the Sierra Espuna but I need @Skippy to confirm that we can get access.

You’re obsessed with death and destruction aren’t you? Next time I am up that way, I’ll go past and see if it’s possible. I’m pretty sure it’s fenced off for a reason though

Went exploring in the old Mazarron mines today on the mountain bike. Not that far but about 60% of the 30klms was off road so plenty of effort needed. Loads of gravel. Legs felt a bit wobbly when I got home.

All the buildings have fallen into disrepair but plenty to snoop around. Quite spooky really.

I bet @XTreme will wank himself into a stupor when he sees the deprivation and total devastation.

Nice one Ray! Did you go near the Sanitorio?

No chance, they might have invited me in for a undisclosed period of time.

A couple of photos from a short trip today.

North from Mazarron and across the Sierra Espuna towards Pliego and Mula. From there, east towards Archena and finally north along the Ricote Valley to Blanca.

Fantastic scenery, great roads and no traffic.

No dramas and home in time for tea and medals.

And @Skippy lol

In actual fact, I am on a beach with Julia Roberts who I might say, is looking very hot in her bikini.

Your generation didn't have home births!

Mine did though......and I'm one of them and you can tell by the way I walk.

That’s true that is.

Got some DIY shit to do around the house tomorrow but Sunday looks like I’ll be out. A couple of options but I’ll decide on the day.

Originally!

I didn’t do anything but he accused my missus of doing something without any proof and waited until I was out of the house so he could have a right go at her.

Now, I’m a fairly level headed and mild sort of person until some cunt pushes my buttons and then it all gets a bit messy.

My missus asked me not to punch him because then I’d end up in the local police station and she’d have to deal with it on her own so I tried my best over the course of a couple of months to keep the peace for her sake. However, he went too far one day and I was having one of those days when being sensible completely evaded me so I made it clear that I was going to batter the fuck out of him.

Typical gobshite bully wouldn’t come out of his house. Never so much looked in my direction again……..just like today.

What did you do to piss him off?

Do you mean today or a few years ago when the original problem started?

Bumped into my old neighbour in the local pet shop……….he couldn’t look at me and walked past with his eyes down. Stood right behind him in the queue to pay.

It was hilarious because he fucking hated it.

It was possibly the highlight of my day.

Expensive but well made.    
 

 

Great quality stuff, I’ve got the Givi Tanklock stuff and it’s decent but not as good as the SW Motech gear in my view.

Made me laugh. Especially the bit where one of them fell off and his mate started laughing at him and he then fell off!

 

Ambition exceeded ability. Trust me, I know this.

A photo of my Honda XLR 650 L from several years ago on a trip over to the old East Germany, down through the Czech Republic and back home via Italy, Switzerland and France.
 

One of my favourite all-time bikes.

How much do you pay Bob?

Ours is about €170 a year.......it was only €110 when we came here.

What do you pay @Skippy?

About €235 I think, it may go up a bit this year but only by a few euros.

Oh dear

You need to bring those guys up here.......or are they too scared to venture out of the protective bubble of the Brit Ghetto? 

Funnily enough, none of them live in what you would describe as a Brit ghetto.

A better day today……..nobody tried to pay with their phone. Instead, had a blast along the coast between Mazarron and Mojacar with some mates on an assortment of bikes.

Stopped in Palomares at the site of the plane crash back in 1966 that nearly ended in a massive disaster. All rather sobering but not as depressing as @XTreme’s fetish for abandoned dwellings.

Really busy again today!  No time to talk to you wankers!

Every cloud has a silver lining

Shit.....don't you get bored doing fuck all?

Don’t be stupid, I’m a professional.

Stopped at the garage first thing this morning to grab a baguette to have for breakfast. Stood behind some young woman who had picked up a couple of croissants and wanted to pay for them using her smartphone. Despite repeated attempts to pay resulting in more aggressive tapping of the phone on the machine it didn’t work.

I’m hungry and wishing she’d just fuck off but no, now she decides to try every fucking bank card in her purse. None of them worked and I’m proper grumpy now but still managing to resist the temptation to grab her croissants and eat them in front of her.

Only when there was no other option she gets some REAL FUCKING MONEY OUT OF HER PURSE TO PAY.…..

Still resisting the urge to assault her for her two croissants I had to laugh when the bloke  behind me pointed out that my baguette was probably stale by now.
