Hey Rob and Al, Great to see the efforts you are putting in. Makes me realise I'm too old for climbing hills on my bike, and they're all around me here in Rossendale. Rob, I noted Al's challenge to you to travel to the coast - maybe you could travel to the 'shore (Helmshore) and we would make you a brew! Good luck to you both in your quest!
ReplyDeleteeandf – Thank you for your kind comments, please see my last post “Follow the river and you will find the sea”. With 66 days to go I need to keep Al on his toes so to speak. You never know I may end up in your area one day at which point I will pop in for that brew. Thanks again Robert
