Really loving the whole bikepacking thing at the moment.
Thanks to the gruesome twosome for playing out.
Location was up above Todmoordon - about half a mile from Stodley Pike.
Gator and Sherbs had done a reccy beforehand and found a fantastic location.
"Look up the history of the farmhouse", says Gator, "because you love being full of trivia shit".
Wish I hadn't bothered!
3 Dead bodies have been found in the ruins in the last 6 years!
Shitting bricks I was!
Excellent time yet again.
Start...with a pint and "Juicy Lucy Burger" - feel free to admire the profile:
