Horizon and losing weight

[doctor Bob]

I'd love to know what you're training for Dr Bob and how much exercise your doing to burn off the number of calories I'm eating in a day. Fair play though, I'm getting tired just thinking about it.

Rowing mainly, averaging 15km per day, plus running and circuits.

Jacob your post tells me you haven't got a clue about sports diet.

I cycled Lands End to John o Groats a few years ago. My sports diet was based on all day breakfasts and it seemed to work.
I'm fairly fit* (well I was until I did my knee in) and not overweight so I obviously know more about sports diets than you do Bobby!
Good luck with the training.

*cycling hilly 100 km or more most weekends, and long distance touring.

See your not listening again .... I'm not overweight and never have been, if Bradley wiggins was a stone heavier would you call him overweight, I need to be under a certain weight to make lightweight otherwise I'm up against 19st guys which would be silly.

How do you get on riding that Penny farthing these days.

What will you be doing against these fat blokes? Tossing the caber or something? (You have to wear a skirt!)

It's one of these. Titanium! That's not actually me in the photo but there are similarities. If anybody is interested don't go for the Sram Apex gears they are rubbish.

Hi Bob
Good luck with your (to me, rather bonkers ) endeavour.
FWIW, I climbed Chrome Hill on Sunday and thought I was about to die. It was exertion beyond the point of enjoyment, to be honest.

You shudda dropped in Steve. You must have passed very close to my place.
NB Chrome Hill is more of a 'knoll' than a hill. We pass it often, after a stop at the Quiet Woman for a pork pie and a pint, or a stop at the cafe near Flash where they do very good pork pies. Sometimes plunge down Cave Dale on the way to Crowdecote, for a pork pie.

It's not about the tools

It's obviously about the pork pies, Jacob ( and I agree you can't beat a good one).
Now look what you've done. I feel hungry and I'm supposed to be fasting today.
Bummer.

Oddly - on the pork pie circuit you pass Glutton Bridge.

[Steve Maskery]

We did walk through The Quiet Woman, but it wasn't open until lunchtime.

Here's an odd bit of film, saved by the landscape - Chrome and Parkhouse hills.

Ghastly man4
Shuttleworth and Count Arthur Strong. I cannot understand how R4 commissioned either. They don't do anything for me except make me turn the wireless off. Simply not funny. Either that or middle age has deprived me of my sense of humour.

I've been a Shuttleworth fan since he was 'Jilted John' - here he is with a brief intro from pervy Saville who I always thought was an unpleasant perv from day one.
