Next challenge, your bike next to a local point of interest.

So, nothing like "This is Big Ben" but something that the locals are proud to point out, preferably with some means to back it up. Such as the phone box at Dunsop Bridge being the geometric center of Great Britain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunsop_Bridge (even though it isn't exactly, but the locals will tell you about it all day long).

Cheeky foccer

........this really is a good challenge, at first I thougt it easy but the more I think about it its not.....ive got an idea and its going to get me on my bike this afternoon, going to visit the village where I was born that has a well known venue that a lot of you will know for one reason...but all is not what it seams......I'll let NORTHWESTERN be the judge....

red98 · « **Reply #329 on:** 16 November 2014, 04:34:51 pm »

Ok.not sure if this is good enough or not, but it did give me an extra hour on my fazer

.......bisham abbey, training ground for the english football team , been on tv loads of times when theres a big match coming up........everyone calls it bisham abbey, I know different, I was born 300yrds down the road and can remember christmas parties in the "great hall" of this great house.....yes.....its a manor house not an abbey, the abbey was close by but thats long gone now......all the locals call it an abbey, but there not true locals, right on the thames 8 miles down stream from henley the town has been taken over by the rich and famous pricing the locals out of the town.....NORTHWESTERN your challenge, is this good enough ?

Lol slim yours doesn't qualify for multiple reasons... Where's the fazer in shot, it wasn't the first pic response etc.. Plus seeing your bike has made me wonder why I sold my enduro bike

red98 · « **Reply #333 on:** 16 November 2014, 06:31:27 pm »

Got to do better than that mr willy.....so, you were conceived on a common......thought as much

Next challenge......I won the last challenge with a picture of a fake abbey at bisham......so the new challenge is ....

YOUR BIKE AND AN ABBEY......a real one...

NorthWestern · « **Reply #339 on:** 16 November 2014, 10:42:20 pm »

A ruin?

red98 · « **Reply #340 on:** 17 November 2014, 06:50:52 am »

yep,that would do it......are you thinking sawley abbey ?

NorthWestern · « **Reply #341 on:** 17 November 2014, 07:43:59 am »

yeah that's the one although the last time I went there things were all in black and white... I can't remember if you can get near it on a bike to take a pic.

NorthWestern · « **Reply #342 on:** 17 November 2014, 09:32:56 am »

pfft went to Norton Priory (which used to be part of an Abbey and has some ruins there - bit of a long shot) but couldn't get anywhere near the ruins etc

Took this though

Nice of the council to put up an example of fly tipping just in case you didn't realise...

I can confirm the mich PR3's work well over wet potholes

This is a statue of local hero and football legend Sir Tom Finney modelled after his iconic "Splash" photograph. This is outside PNE this morning... My bike displaying a weeks worth grime!
