Surely I am not alone in feeling I am waking up to some truly bewildering material here.
Massive credit to GT for remaining calm and reasonable throughout.
It’s a nice historic location for a walk, with a Point-to-Point racecourse included.
Ricky asked for photos, should I have ignored him because we disagree over Covid jabs?
And why exclude other forumites when there is a racing angle to this?
And, anyway, it’s The Lounge!
And why am I even explaining/justifying myself when I am not obliged to?
Off to have a word with myself now over that!

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"December 5, 2021 at 06:12 #1570761Alan King’s stable is located ar Barbury Castle and whilst I was employed there I often walked my dog around the “castle” and along The Ridgeway. I’m sure it would be lovely on a summer’s day but my sojourn was from October to February, it is quite exposed on top of the castle (shivering emoticon inserted here).
December 5, 2021 at 08:26 #1570764I’m enjoying watching those utube walks, especially as Storm Arwen hasn’t quite gone away and I don’t really want to leave the warmth of the living room.

Id has been sussed and he knows it All good, clean fun, though.
Ginge may want to think twice next time before he tries to defend the undefendable
December 5, 2021 at 09:28 #1570771Jeez Tank, how many conspiracy theories can you keep in your head at the same time
December 5, 2021 at 09:46 #1570772Mad as a balloon.
That said, I’m currently in a field in Kent amid torrential rain, so I’ve little room to talk.

Win what?
A night out with Tank?Value Is EverythingDecember 5, 2021 at 11:15 #1570785Nice video Gingerboots. Pleasing to see that you, like me, appear to be an ambler rather than a rambler: 10 minutes hoof, 5 minutes gaze…repeat and repeat
I know little of the Ridgeway other than a short stretch to the west of Avebury which took me up onto the downs near Beckhampton; and this must have been well over thirty years ago as I recall seeing horses out and about and wondering if they were some of Jeremy Tree’s string
Further south, the train journey from Paddington to the south west takes you past the white horse on the scarp near Westbury and on each of the numerous times I’ve trundled past have promised myself a walk up, along and over those hills, but have yet to do it
So much to see, so much to do

BigG that is a bizarre question. The honest truth is I don’t know, as I’ve never had any. Common-sense theories, yes
December 5, 2021 at 14:29 #1570838Ah, with you now Tank
Maybe take away that last full stop though

BIG G. has escaped from the circus
The cruel ringmaster had him attending to all the elephant poo
And thus when he arrives here in this room of repose
He wants to start a scrap
Poor boy

Well I can’t argue with that Ricky, I haven’t a clue what it’s supposed to mean
December 5, 2021 at 17:18 #1570876I get home from Charing Point-to-Point to discover my thread about Barbury Castle….no longer is!
