That's the best excuse I heard for a drive in the countryside. :dodgy2:
I'm just gutted my bike MOT lapsed before the lockdown came into force so I don't get the 6 month extension :(

My Parents live around 2 hours way just outside Ludlow and a run down is so much nicer on the bike then in the truck (all 3 of us siblings live pretty much equidistant from them, I'm up here near Wigan, sister is down in Wells & brother is in Aylesbury)

I usually head down the A49 from Warrington then turn left at Ludlow towards where they live at Hopton Wafers

@Gingerlove05 I have three very similar looking heaps scattered round the house :)

My dad is gutted that the weather is turning nice and he can't get out on his bike (Honda CBR 600 I think he's got.

Just been out on my bike for a ride round the lanes after WFH but mine sadly is the pedal type. Only did 6 miles and gobsmacked at how unfit I am!!! Also really really need to get some oil on the chain. Not good!

I went out for a long walk today and saw a load of these gorgeous birds. I spent ages trying to find out what they were! They are Lapwings, apparently once very common but now on the endangered red list.

Such a shame, as a kid I remember the fields being full of Lapwings or large flocks of them circling overhead. Summer evenings all you would hear was their calls coming from the fields.
