MLC35 according to my wife I had my Mid Life Crisis when I was 35 - hence MLC35. She did then buy me a rather spiffing sports car, so not all bad :) I used the name when I joined the car owners club, but now use it for everything I join online and have done for the last five years. this thread...

Hi, up here it has to be winter. everything becomes so clean and fresh. these pictures were taken in April up near Blakey Ridge (the Lion Inn) during our training for the Lyke Wake Walk. I just love being 20 minutes from the 'Great' outdoors. (I am in the red hood BTW).
