Also watch out elsewhere for grain spilling from trailers - just like ball bearings!
Ahh not again, what a farkin idiot. Cheers for info puny.

which pass? hartside or ambleside?

was thinking of going down that way on sunday for my run. http://goo.gl/maps/shDxH

but if the sheep shaggin farmers are out with a bee in their tiny minds then i think i'll give it a miss. dont these people realise that bikers make up a large portion of the local economy during the summer. mind you we are talking about the same kind of people who will stick a shotgun in your face for crossing one of their fields.

makes my eyes see red.
