Saul Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 Just nipped out for a shortish Bimble today. I wanted to refuel the bike but ended up getting distracted and went up to a small Village on the edge of Bodmin Moor called Lanlivery. The on to Bodmin itself, had a look up the Beacon while I was there then down to Priory Park before heading home. Bodmin is a former County Town, like the capital before it was moved to Truro. Also a Garrison town as well, in the past. as home to the Duke of Cornwall Light Infantry. I like Bodmin it is a great place with lots going on. I have worked many hours at Bodmin Hospital so know it pretty well. Lost of history with the DCLI museum, Bodmin and Wenford Steam railway and Bodmin Jail. Also it was original the Home of Bodmin Asylum. Down here calling someone 'Bodmin' is an insult meaning you have a screw loose. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends the weather up in those mountains. I've only got heated grips you know I did find two polystyrene boxes a couple of days ago that'll fit perfectly in my bins so if it happens you can get pie'd right up 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
