Sir Fallsalot

That's what I've been saying to you, since you left there's been a real drive to clean up all beaches and water courses, Welsh Water have been spending millions on schemes to clean and treat storm water to reduce the amount of debris entering the water courses and ending up in the sea. They also face massive fines if they spill without consent. One of the projects we are involved with is fitting monitoring devices on every spill point from welsh waters assets all over wales no matter how big or small so they can see if the works is failing and do something about it

Its lovely and clean in Port Talbot just look at that beautiful deserted beach photo taken from on top of one of the shit tanks next door

Their still about i was riding across two of them last Friday, only difference now is the trees have taken hold on a lot of them so their not so open and don't look so ugly

yes and one of those gremlins said to get shot of it and here you are having a great time on it

Its ok we get the same here it's like the UK don't exist to foreigners we are all from England

I've had similar stories told me on the courses I've done where people have entered a steel tank and died due to the tank rusting, A lot of people don't realise the danger with rust in enclosed spaces it uses up the oxygen creating an oxygen deficient atmosphere, Another one is we are not allowed to use aluminium ladders anywhere an explosive atmosphere may be present because if you bang aluminium against a rusty object you can create a spark and ignite the atmosphere

In more ways than one

The beginning and end of that where they squeeze through the ventilation ducting had me freaking out i think i have just discovered i'm claustrophobic

Sorry Bob had a few last night i meant catchymonkey

Yes but 9 of these horses Not the 30 of these in you average Harley

Never mind that my brother was working there years ago and only phoned his girlfriend for a few minutes a day and came home to a mobile phone bill at almost £200 he didn't earn that a week

I know where your coming from @Clive all my younger life I've just done what i wanted but after working in the waste water industry and having to do confined space training its made me think why am i still alive

Yes it beats me why the Chinese can meet current EU regulations but the big Japanese companies cant

This is one project if it comes off i might actually dust off my pushbike to ride through its a long one

I really like that but needs a bigger front wheel if the dog is dead this might be the replacement

No but there is some workings in there where they dug into the old coal seam during the miners strike i had a look in there as a kid and even with my limited knowledge back then i knew it was too dangerous to go past the entrance yet they were pulling coal out of there

Not too sure about that maybe you can ask her when she lands in spain

Its only a Quarter of a mile and you have to turn around and go back as the A470 to Merthyr is built on the old brecon line across the entrance/exit This is the end we had to turn around on heading east towards Quakers yard station

Isn't that what itchymonkey has

Was that list just about you @clive

I took your comment on board and went for some exercise with me mate tonight had a little loop around some lanes i haven't done in years Here's my mate showing me how not to do it And here's me showing him how not to do it LOL We took in the old railway tunnel just to see if its still clear Why does my mate look like Stan Laurel Then we had a play on one of the old coal tips i used to train on This is my mate showing me how to do it And me showing him how not to do it I decided to have a go at the bigger one which turned out easier easier than the smaller climb because it was straight up i chickened out on coming back down though Which will come tomorrow because Apparently I've reached my daily upload on youtube which i didn't know was a thing Anyhow because i done it my mate had to do it But being a twat or is it better rider he came down it as well The videos as usual make everything look relatively flat but it was pretty steep looking from the top down

My weekend started today as i have taken today off work. Just fitted some carpet on our landing only taken me a year and 2 hours to fit, it was an offcut from a new carpet my parents had fitted, it's been rolled up at the bottom of the stairs for a year and that's how long the wife's been nagging me to fit it, she must have got smart and used reverse psychology on me because last night she said take that carpet to the dump tomorrow if your not going to fit it, got up this morning and just laid it WTF i hope she's not going to make this a regular thing

Me and the wife have always said that. when we went to rally's in the late 80's everyone was around our age, when we go now nothings changed everyone is still around our age very few youngsters are coming in behind us to keep it all going

The entire route is about 77 miles but there's plenty of road work to do between the unsurfaced stuff to give you a rest. There were 44 unsurfaced lanes on route ranging from half a mile to about four miles long. Normally there are longer unsurfaced bits but some of them we are not 100% sure they are legal so had to cut them out for the event

Not sure he is involved but this route is for Sunday and is going to be led by members of SWTRF and i think there's a few other routes being put on by SWTRF members i wont be there this weekend
