    instead of around you.
    By god was there one today.
    The snow was thawing yet it seemed colder today and there was nowhere to hide from it out in the Fens.

    Long green lanes that are rutted but you cant see them even though the snow was pretty much wet slush.

    Stopped for a chat with a lad i know in his rather trick (one of them, he has a few) Land Rover. Even he was having trouble justifying being out and he had a heater :D

    The water ways are still frozen for all its thawing.

    Bit of a wind break so i could have a smoke :D

    Here seemed a good idea (My local) as i was sopping wet from the slush and it was so unpredictable out there with the hidden ruts, ice, slush etc. Still good to be out on the bike though. :D

    This was actually a road. The wind had blown the snow off the fields onto it.

    Anyway, just a little bimble :D

    Nice photos! That Land Rover is way cool!

    So, what's with the Five Bells Free House? What is a Free House?
    It looks like a nice place.

    A Free House is basically a pub that can sell any beer it wants. Its not owned by a brewery if you see what i mean????
    Anyway, just a local affair today, all within 5 miles of my house, the pub a few hundred yards from my house :)
    I still cant get used to how flat it is around where i live now. Luckily my family etc are still back in Wales so its easy enough to get out back home kind of thing.
    Well have some more interesting pics next weekend hopefully :)

    Love that clutch cover GBRobb, where did you source that. I like your sticker kit as well.
    Now tell the truth you only really rode over to the pub from home and bumped into a friend doing the same-right?

    Thanks for the effort Mate.

    Its the standard one mate, just rubbed it down with some wet and dry. Did it with course stuff so its got the same sort of finish as the silencer. Was going to polish it but once you do that you have to polish it every time you get it dirty and i cant be arsed:D:thumbsup:
