I gave up been faddy with my Bike. It now has a luxurious coating of everyday shxte that occurs in Boxerscotts garage from sawdust, tile dust, gypsum and after my scorched earth policy on the grass this week, ferrous sulphate crystals.

I celebrated this festival with a Pilgrimage from Holy island to Kirk Yetholm last Saturday doing 1/2 of St Cuthberts Way. The plan was to do the other half on Sunday. The ale in the Border Hotel at Kirk Yetholm did it`s best to relax me for the next days challenge, however, on awakening at 5.30am. I bottled it.

Another fail.
Wish I could upload the smart phone photies I took trekking over the Lost Kingdom. The glider pilots were out playing, spring lambs, Rape seed in blossom, Roman forts, blue skies, sunshine. Northumberland= Glorious. Englands best kept secret.
