Some of the rabbits looked good enough to pop in the pot. Bright red entrails of badgers, pheasants, hedgehogs, squirrels, a grouse or two.</p> <p>By the afternoon what was left on the roads was mashed into the tarmac and decidedly greyish brown - not appetising at all. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10994#post-123102 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 18:30:22 +0000 gembo 123102@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Dave C, that is quite hopeful </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10994#post-123057 Mon, 26 Aug 2013 09:30:31 +0000 DaveC 123057@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'll be cycling down the Langwang next Monday. I hope for a tail wind (NE) on the way down and then a tail wind on the way back up. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10994#post-123051 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 22:45:35 +0000 wee folding bike 123051@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We went to a place in Mill St which sold big chunks of meat or Jellistone farm near Coylton. The meat's relatives were still running around outside there.</p> <p>The nastiest thing I ever found on a cycle was hedgehog entrails stuck on the front mudguard stays. It was already dead when I passed it but I thought I had managed to miss it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10994#post-123036 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 18:42:11 +0000 gembo 123036@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah but these entrails were really ripe and freshly pulled out. I am not tht squeamish either, when we went to the butchers in my childhood there was blood and sawdust on the floor and halved pigs hanging above us as we waited for our lorne </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10994#post-123035 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 18:27:15 +0000 wee folding bike 123035@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good for the crows. Even Brian May couldn't complain about recycling badgers. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10994#post-123034 Sun, 25 Aug 2013 18:18:34 +0000 gembo 123034@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Was still great but misjudged the wind on the Lang Whang so when I turned at Tarbrax expecting a tail wind It turned out to be a headwind. Just had to pedal all the way back too. Two dead badgers one with entrails being eaten by crows also not good, several dead hedgehogs too. </p>
