lantern procession ‘06

October 2nd, 2006

my sweet rideWent for a spin in this bad boy the other day. We took off from The Grouse, zoomed over Hayfield, towards Chapel-en-le-Frith, then turned to buzz over Kinder Low and the Downfall and towards Glossop before turning back to The Grouse.

Of course, if you’re not from round ‘ere, this will mean nothing to you…
