Sunday morning bimble near Portsmouth

Post by hounddog » Sun Jan 08, 2012 5:35 pm

Went out for a ride this morning. Stopped off for a burger and coffee at Portsdown hill overlooking Portsmouth/Hayling. Put my burger down on a bench , turned my back for 10 seconds to check the bike and came back to find 2 crows tucking into my breakfast :lol: can't leave anything laying around these days .

Explored a few new country lanes and found a ford I never knew existed , successfully negotiated 4 ins of running water ! Its good to get out and about :) :)

Let us know if you go out for a ride on or off rd on a Sunday Ian, Kev and I go out most weeks and could meet you either at Portsdown, at Mick's M B van or elsewhere,
He came round today but we ended up cleaning his carb out :? :roll:

Thanks for the complimentary comments guys.
Yes been very mild down here, I dont normally go out much on the bike this time of year (going soft as I get older !) but quite happy to be out and about when its 10 or 11 degrees as this week.

Dave , yes would be good to meet up with you and Kev, I will give you a shout in the coming weeks . cheers

Sounds good to me, not a lover of loomies tho, too busy, but will still use it, but not for brekkys in the summer.

Have you tried this place -

Much better food, and more room :mrgreen:
