  1. Happy birthday Stew from me and Fran!
  2. Wahey! I'm going to Berlin with Fran and a couple of friends in June, and barring the odd visit when i was doing my 70 hour weeks in Holland the other year, it'll be the first holiday abroad we've had in the 4 years since we met! We are there for 4 days, so any reccomendations? Places to eat especially welcome The one thing I did notice was that it's Berlin Gay Pride on the saturday! One of our party is rather happy about that....
  3. Style over content. Who gives a flying funk what any of those self-aggrandising peni think about the car? It must be a good screw for them all - £££££! Oh, and Matt Horne wasn't there for the drink was he?

  6. Like one of these suckers? - http://www.olivers-baby-care.co.uk/seed-pli-pram-pushchair.html?utm_source=Google-Base&utm_medium=Web&utm_campaign=Gbase You need your head examined if you buy one of them! The baby industry is nearly as bad as the wedding industry. It might be an hour to the south east lakes Stan, but it's a bit more than that for a slick of cake an a cuppa at ours! I'm available for guided walks at any time folks
  7. Haha, yeah. Except unlike Julia Bradbury, we would'nt make every wee fell sound like it was like climbing Everest!
  8. Wish the press would stop using that phrase. In the science community its "Climate Change", as not everywhere is getting warmer. Some place are getting wetter, drier or colder. As it happens, the UK probably will get warmer on average, because of greater cloud cover (caused by evaporation over the sea) throughout the year, not because we're going to have blazing sunshine every other day. We wish!
  9. Also, now here's a local mode of transport not normally seen! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/weather/article6974364.ece
  10. Yeah, whisper it mate . But if the're good enough for all the italian farmers in the Alps and Dolomites...
  11. Oh yes Colin, its Frans pride and joy! Nixy - Yes we have all the gear. We spotted a couple last week going up Scafell sharing a pair of crampons - one foot each! Waylander - The silence is amazing, just the odd plane going overhead and Herdwick baa! Plunged my axe in here up to the head, so its at least 60 cm deep here:
  12. Got an early start yesterday so we could head up Buttermere and do a few fells. Conditions were near perfect, blue skyes, no wind and we nearly had the place to ourselves. Heading out, the roads were of course ungritted as soon as we left the main road As we passed Loweswater, we looked over to notice that it was completely frozen over. I wasn't about to make the News by going out on it though! Parked up near a farm just passed Buttermere village. We headed up out of the valley towards Seat, and then Wainwrights favourite, Haystacks. The snow was amazing, just feet of pure powder. I've never seen it like that in the Lakes, it's always icy and slushy. This was like being in the Alps. We had a conversation with some locals: And then a quick pose for the album! We pushed on in the difficult conditions. (actually there's a couple of steep bits on Haystacks that were proper tricky with all that powder about) We reached the tarns on top of Haystacks, they were solid as a rock. Walking on towards Honister Slate Mine. Ski tracks: Past the mine, we picked up the Honister pass road back down into Buttermere and the car. Overall, a classic winter day in the lakes, hopefully It'll hang around for next weekend too. We may do something bigger!
  13. Congats mate, kids scare me though!
  14. I think you'll find that price is rather more representative of what the things cost to build, not the loss-making £60k that a regular one costs.
  15. I've got something similar Colin, the're a bit extreme for going to the shops though!
  16. Is mum a bit ropey behind the wheel?
  17. No fibreglass kit will thank you for hitting kerbs etc, but it won't just crack of its own accord.

  19. Christ you must be bored Stan! You've had more posts than Husky this week!
  20. It's generally correct, but a few slip though the net depending on the class they were registered under i think.
  21. Yeah, stick to the west side. The A66 over the Pennines is closed a lot at the min.
  22. Thought Tillys had been sold for a minute there! Very nice Zed mate
