Thanks AnnieMacD...yes winter, its my time, time to push, time to enjoy the hills when they are at their very best, time to get the very best out of the hills and myself :)

Snow would not have been a surprise! As we past the Sneck it completely cleared and we could see what we had 'mist'. Interestingly we took almost the same shots of the views. Stunning route.
We bikes as well. If you enjoy biking, why not.
Its not every big house you pass that has a Henry Moore (esq) on their lawn! :shock:


Thanks...bad luck on your day, you will have to return. As for the biking, jurys out on that one :lol:

Thank you Emmanuelle...Go you must..as with life itself. Never give up on something you really want. It’s difficult to wait, but it’s more difficult to regret :wink:
