Empty roads?

[reohn2]

I've been out on the MTB on some forest roads and a couple of climbs(Delemere forest).I was quite surprised the number of people,many families and quite a few older couples with the odd walking group,there was also a running event on too,the M6 was less packed than normal but still busy.That said IMO the Greater Manchester,Liverpool areas aren't as Royalist as perhaps some other areas of the country.

Our walk down to the cliffs overlooking the Bristol Channel was great. The coastal path, if anything, was quieter than I would have expected on a sunny weekend. Normally I would have expected to say hello to one or two groups but today, on the clifftop path itself, we saw nobody. We reclined in some long grass and consumed refreshments for twenty minutes and not a soul passed us. Just us, the waves lapping the pebbles below and the gulls in the sky. Perfect. A slight haze on the far shore made Minehead invisible to us.

We did encounter other walkers as we took another path back inland to our village. Clearly some people took the view that it was too nice a day to be sat in front of a TV.

Was up at Fort William this weekend. Place was packed and nearly ended up camping due to lack of B&B vacancies. Ben Nevis also had loads of people on it and the pubs were also busy with mostly football on. Seems people (or at least the Scots) are not as sad as TV makes out. Personally I wasnt even aware there was a wedding until I tried to buy a newspaper, and I wanted one with news in it. I was advised that the A82 is no place for cyclists, so ended up riding some of the Great Glen Way. Again this was busy but not too bad. Everything was busy, plus the weather kicked ass too, which is rare, but particularly so for Scotland.

Is there any need to climb the Bheinn?

Kicked ass = bang tidy = excellent.

World Cup is coming up soon so roads should be quieter then normal.

Only for a short time - until England are knocked out
