Well contary to belief most people don't glow here, and I've yet to
see any 3 eye'd fish ala The Simpsons.

've been thinking of doing the Fred Whitten next may, anyone done it?
Any ideas what it's like, 115 miles through all the passess of west
lakes.

The problem is I would come over cold fell, pass my house to then go
to Gosforth and then up the 30% climb in Hard Knott and end at
Conniston, so wondering about doing the route from home by myself
anyway.
