Indeed, Uncle Wozzer is getting old…

The grand old age of 18 is but a week away! And to celebrate this event, I’m off to the Lake District! Thursday, mid/late morning Dad and I load up the car with provisions and bikes, collect Benni and his bike, and then pick up Mat (without his bike, which is a roady thing), then hit the motorways. We’ll stop at a nice place a few minutes off the motorway for lunch (stopped there before with family when we went last summer). It’s next to a canal, and the food was quite nice. Then we get to the Lake District. We’ll be staying in a cottage near where I did last time (almost literally behind). Then, Friday and Saturday we’ll be hitting Grizedale!! Then back on the Sunday.

I’m really looking forward to it, and hope the waether stays OK! Mats bringing his Wii, so we’ll have fun in the evenings! I’m also looking forward to having more time at Grizedale, last time we had sort of 3/4 of a day there, and only did two (ish) routes. This time, I plan to do the “Black Route” the longest, the hardest route they have!! Estimated riding time over 2 hours!!! Though, that’ll probably be on the second day, or afternoon of the first day possibly… we’ll see

Also, in other news, I had my Theory test last Thursday… and PASSED!!!! YAY! So, next lesson, i’ll have a talk with my Instructor, and see when i can do my actual test! And, because of this, i’ve been looking at cars (again) and like the idea of a little Suzuki Alto or Fiat Cinqequento (however you spell it) or a Fiat Sicento (also misspelt) which are really dinky little cars, but seem good enough. But it’s not the cost of the car, it’s the £1500 )give or take) for insurance! admittedly that is per year, but still works out to £200 a month! Anyway, we’ll see…

Untill the next post
