    It's been a while, sorry for being a bit useless. Life is very busy despite lock-down... This is part one of the story of our cancelled trip to the Spanish Pyrenees, where we went to the north east and west of our own fair island. Fun was had, beer was drunk, bikes were discussed, disaster was averted. Love was shown to the KTM 125 EXC (even by Noel) and Star Wars. Ever wondered what blokes talk about around a campfire? It's probably less interesting than you think. (CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE)

    In this long awaited 6th episode we are trialing our new recording equipment, which will hopefully banish bad sound quality for ever. Noel has been scouting new TET trails in northern Spain whilst being chased by wild boars. We visit the bike show, and in our imaginations, come away with a Honda CRF250L, a KTM 690 Adventure, the new Norton Atlas Scrambler and a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE. We ponder whether AJP have made the best TET bike ever (AJP PR7 Adventure), discuss emotional attachments to inanimate objects and our differing views on, well, everything, but especially safety gear.

From the TAT to the TET, Steve has traveled and worked all over the world and tells us some great tales from his time in places like Antarctica, and why he is opposed to HEP schemes in Albania. The sound quality is a bit rubbish, sorry, we need to improve our microphone technique! But Steve tells a very informative and instructional story of how he managed and funded the work on the Old Coach Road. If you contributed, it's a fine way of finding out where your money went.

    Welcome to our second podcast. We recorded this one on location at a Lake District log cabin, near a river. Sadly the sound of the river was terrible, so we had to apply some noise reduction, which has distorted the sound somewhat. We hope you don't find it too distracting. We are new to this, and are not professionals, so bear with us, we will get better!
