Another wrong turning. Another wrong turning. God, my sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end. You could have it all. I empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you [Applause] Turn right. In a quarter of a mile, turn right onto Ramp Parkway A5. In a quarter of a mile at the roundabout, take the first exit onto Forge Gate. Right. I would bring I’m not turn right towards South Telford Way. Then turn right Turn left onto South Telford Way. In 300 y, turn right to stay on South Telford Way. Ah, You could have gone round. You could have gone round, Rosco. You floner. Turn right onto South Telford Way. Then turn right to stay on South Telford Way. I bloody overtook that.
Turn right to stay on South Telford Way in a quarter of a mile. Slight left to stay on South Telford Way. [Music] That’s the battery. [Music] Turn right towards South Telford Way. Then turn left onto South Telford Way. Another wrong turn in. Another wrong turning. I really don’t know South Talford very well at all. God, that bloody runner’s overtaking me now, but three times. I mean, I know he’s not aware he’s in a race, but come on. Turn left onto South Telford Way. Hey, turn right onto Graange. [Applause] There. In 200 y, turn left onto Sturley Road. In 200 y, turn right onto Graange Avenue. Turn right onto Graange Avenue. Then your destination will be on the right. I can see the balls. Yeah. So, I’ve actually fished here before, but again, oh, I’ve caught a couple of little ones, but nothing big out of here. Um, but I used to work for a fishing company, a local one. Um, and one of the one of the sponsored angler guys and marketing people. Uh I’m not going to dox him online, but he popped down with me and he had one of the big carps down here. Um uh floating uh um dog whiskers and he came down several times until he got I think every big carp out of these pools and you wouldn’t believe what’s in here. But yeah, it’s really good. So let’s go and have a look, shall we? [Music] Tell you what, it’s really pretty. It’s really pretty. It’s a lot more overgrown than when I saw it last, but it’s nice. I like it for it. I don’t see why we should have bloody lawns everywhere. This long grass is lovely. There’s somebody down there sunbathing or fishing, so I’m not going to go in. There used to be some absolute beasts down there. Trying to be quiet because there’s people fishing. So, I’ll put some subs up if you can’t hear me. But center shot about there. I could just make it out with my polarized sunglasses on big carp easily. Something else moving over there, but it really popped out. Oh, there it is. Top of that leaf going in between the two there. coming across the surface there. Right center of shot now and I’m following it. Tell you what, polarized sunglasses are brilliant. You don’t know if you can see that or not, but it’s pity you can’t float bread. Nice call. Actually, I’m glad I come. And the battery seems to have held its charge, so I know three mile home. The other lake yesterday was I need a new kickstand. Yeah. So, the lake uh was uh 3 mile today, mile and half yesterday. So, be well if I get back. That’s two lakes I can get to on my bike now. So, it’s a good little wrecky. Nice little lake and it’s busy which is nice to see actually. It’s good to see people fishing. So, I’m going to crack on and stop being a tit on the bank of the camera. [Music] I tell you what, kill, you made shot at that. Oh. Oh my days. [Music] And that’s why you should pay attention. Oh, how close was I then? I was talking to you and not concentrating. Oh, that would have been nasty. I tell you what, that was close. That was close. That was a lesson learned, wasn’t it? I’m not joking. My tire must have been right on the edge then. Oh dear. Oh dear. Oh dear. Heat. Heat. Lincoln. So, I’ve done that wrecky dead quick, but I haven’t got a lot of GoPro time left. Um, so I don’t know what to do now. I might just go on a random adventure on the way home without the Google Maps. See where I get to. And if the GoPro cuts out, it cuts out and I just film any interesting spots cuz um I don’t really know this area, Telford. I know I’ve essentially got to go back that direction, but I’m thinking I have a blast of that grass hill. Uh, I also want to kill the battery bit on this to get a proper full charge cuz really and truthfully because of all the injuries and stuff I’ve had over the last few years hasn’t had as a run out as much as it should have done. So, um, still going strong though, but I didn’t want to go down those steps in it because I think that was a bit too much for it. You know, it’s not an off-road bike at all. It’s just a fat tire ebike. But, um, I’m getting a bit more adventurous. You probably can’t hear this because of the wind, but I’m getting more adventurous. Anyway, I’m going to go. Wasting battery here. [Music] Oh No, it didn’t want to make it up there. That’s interesting to know, though. Never been here before. Wow, that’s quite cool. Don’t know where I am now. I didn’t get out over there. There’s a guy over there sitting in the shade when I was walking the dog. What is this place? So now the [Music] The uh battery held up pretty well actually. I’ve still got a couple of bars left and I had a bit of an explore around Randley and Sturley places I never been before and unfortunately the GoPro cut out again. I only brought one battery. Um and I brought my sketchbook and my tripod. Try. I didn’t bring a tripod. I brought a tripod. and I thought I’d take some photographs and in the end I didn’t take any photographs. I just went around on my bike and was just looking at old architecture and stuff. So, it was quite nice. There was a lot of old railway bits and canal bridges and there’s stuff over there that even though I’m from Telfford, I’ve never really paid much attention cuz it’s the other side of Telford where I live. Criminal, I know. But, as you can tell, I’m absolutely parched and I’ve got a little bit of water left. I need to fill it up really, but I don’t want to have to lock my bike up and go to the town center. So, I might just uh wait till I get home. I did debate getting a point, but it’s a Green King, whatever it is, no hungry horse. I paid 550 last year, last summer, for a pint of Guinness there. It was probably the rankiest point going. I had thought about going to my local and having a point, but I don’t know if I’ve got the battery to get there and back. Definitely got enough battery to get home. Don’t know if I’ve got enough battery to go to the pub because the pub’s downhill from my house. So, it means takes a bit of battery to get home. But, I’m going to drink this, get on my bike, and I’ll probably decide just as I’m turning to home whether I turn up the drive or keep going. [Music] I cannot [Music] Beneath the stains of time again the feelings disappear. [Music] You are someone else and I am still right. [Music] What have I become? My sweetest friend. Everyone I know goes away in the end. You could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt. I could start again. Million miles away. I will keep myself. I will find the way. [Music] [Applause]
