10.77 miles, 3,003 feet, 2 hours 59 minutes: Loughrigg trails. A bit hazy today, but this is not a complaint - sunny, no wind, not too hot - we are...

Quite possibly: between Nailstone and Barlestone, I cycled through Osbaston, which doesn't quite manage to be a "-stone" village. My favourite...

Could it be that they derived from "ton". Farm or hamlet (apparently):...

This is maybe the most beautiful aspect of the sport. Pity it is so rare. The bigger clubs win, almost always and exclusively, by exploiting their...

Indeed. You don't have to go back very far to find Man City in the second division/League One. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, and if...

Spot on. That’s what makes this league beyond the pale. Some people think the Premier League is too heavily stacked in favour of the big clubs but...

Appalling these clubs make the rules such that they cannot possibly be relegated from this superleague.

I don't pretend to follow football but I assume this is "all about the fans"?:D

Indeed. The whole thing stinks anyway but including Tottenham is laughable. They’ve not won the league in 50 years. I bet it won’t happen. I...

Indeed. If we had stayed in, we could have organised a vaccination programme that would have had 50% of EU residents vaccinated by now.

No, I haven't a clue. It doesn't seem to be a particularly stony area.

I was doing about 22mph at the time, 53/16 or therabouts. He came past at over 30mph by my reckoning, in a hail of tyre roar and stadium rock. I was...

Are you able to enlighten us as to why such a high concentration of villages have names ending in 'stone' in this area?

What amuses me is that Spurs are included in the "big 6". Is that based on all the trophies they've won in the last 30 years?

Yes Graham, they got what they deserved - nothing. van Aert, Pidcock and Schachmann nearly cocked it up too. But they didn't!

I think the complaints of UEFA and the Premier League accusing the proposed Super League of being "greedy" have a bit of the pot calling the kettle...

10.51 miles, 3,795 feet, 3 hours 19 minutes: Wansfell Pike from 3 sides, and along the ridge to Wansfell true top. Wall to wall sunshine. The terrain...

I can do that :D Not sure I should though. I find it entertaining seeing Brian still bleating on :D

Nice bit of video, thanks. Good to see you catching cars at the end :) I liked this bit too

A great achievement. Well done Kim.

Ahh...just read above!!!
