    Try getting some exercise, you fat bastard.

    Walking to the next tube station along the line instead of the closest
    one would be a good starting point..

    That's still all motorway or dual carriageway and I think he wants to
    avoid that shit.

    A1, A14, A5, A444 to Burton on Trent then A511, A50, A515 to Ashbourne
    and it's easy from there.

    Plenty of nice twisty roads at the end where he can dust Ogden and
    plenty of longer bits where Ogden can practice those 100mph stand up
    wheelies. I've gone that way a couple of times and it's not a bad
    route. Just keep an eye out for cameras in BoT.

    The A5 bit is dual carriageway but it's not quite as boring as the M1
    due to the increased opportunity to have a tractor pull out in front
    of you.

    It's shite, but better than just the M1. Now knowing the better roads round
    those parts & all.

    FFS. Look at map, identify wiggly roads, join together until you've
    linked start and end points. It's not hard to plan a vaguely interesting
    route.

    "A1, A14, M1" is not it.

  13. Funny. I was thinking just that, yesterday, when I was round their gaff
    looking at his old Falco which he's punting out to Eddie.

    I will never, ever get rid of that image of dog, H and the little
    bivvie.

    Right.

  19. Nowt wrong with that, except I'd have done it on the side away from the
    lean of the bike.
    A mate had a memorable night's kip was in a gravel bin at the roadside
    in Oban. Sure put the shits up a couple who drew into the parking space
    in the morning to admire the view, to see him climbing out of it, right
    next to them.
