Same again on Sunday (15 Jan)

Thanks for the recent reports Peter and well done (again) Grimpy even with only one leg. I see the plaster is still in place.

After the good turn out last week the suggestion is for a repeat 9am at Denholme for 9:30 at Keighley.

Interestingly, a quick Internet search revealed this description of our favourite bird:


The Condor (Vultur gryphus calderdaleus) is a species of the vulture family Cathartidae and is the only member of the genus Vultur. Found roaming wild over large parts of the Yorkshire Dales most Sundays and occasionally in adjacent Lancashire, it has the largest half-wheel (at 3.2m or 10.5ft) of any known species of rider. Condors are primarily scavengers with a predilection for feeding on the carcass of any large carrion they encounter, including (especially) fellow flock members.

Maybe we could be a bit nicer this week and try to keep the gang together at least until the cafe stop? Speaking of which, any preferences for where we go?
