Rain stopped 12.00hrs - out to Windmills Cafe (Penistone) for egg&chips - sunny and warm all afternoon.

What a nice change.

I'm a member of the Derbyshire caving club, we have access to the old copper mines at Alderley Edge, parts of which go back about 4,000 years. we are currently working on an excavation to remove spoil that has fallen down one of the old shafts (about 50ft) into a chamber. We're there most Sundays, its somthing different :lol:

That's interesting - not the thing for me though - although to be honest, I've never tried caving/potholing.

Hi John

It's a lot easier than caving, (although we do use caving equipment from time to time) access is either walk in, or as in our case at the moment via a long ladder. and it doesn't matter what the weather is like, we can get wet anyway, :lol:

and, we only need a front light :lol:

Cheers

Lovely here in Cornwall. Went out sunday for a couple of hours on Bodmin Moor - lovely. Stopped at the Hurlers Halt in Minions for a coffee and cake. They told me that there is a constant flow of LEJOGers coming through and stopping (It is at a high point)
Wanted to go out again today but had to work - the joy of being self employed!

The weather forecast is rain on Tuesday, clearing by Wednesday/Thursday. I'll be in the Lake District on Tuesday, anyway not worry. I'll be going on coast to coast double.

It is too hot to cycle in Mid-Devon.

I had planned to go out for a ride today but I'm waiting for it to cool down. Maybe later ......

1330hrs Sunday 31 August

After a nice cool start to the day we now have a mild precipitation, managed a trip up to the Edge on the bike. Took some small parts for the winch the lads were working on.

Yesterday was dry - would you believe it, dry? "My bike and I" had a wonderful day out - riding from 07.30hrs to 23.30hrs - it was warm and dry, dull, muggy and no sun, but dry.

Today is back to 2008. The sparrows that vistit our garden have now all bought umbrellas.

(Just a not to all those who take everything I type as being po-faced serious - the umbrella bit is a joke - not true - intended to make you laugh).

You mean they stole them instead?

I have just noticed that there is enough 'blue to make a sailor a pair of trousers', so I'm going to seize the moment and go out for a quick ride.

Well, I don't like to ask.

That's not as improbable as it sounds - after all, they don't pay for their wild bird seed, bread crusts, rice pudding left-overs etc, so maybe, just maybe, they have a free source of umbrellas. They fly off as soon as I try to ask them, so that could indicate a guilty conscience.
