"Like Raedwulf said, Is England any better?" Answer? No it bloody isn't! Thanks to the nanny Health and safety executive I now have to wear a helmet, safety googles and mittens just to use this computer! Come back common sense all is forgiven!
Scotland does have THE most glorious mountain bike circuit in Glentress, far better than anything in Wales, so I hope the Scottish Clan Chief ( or whatever passes as your leader) doesn't sell the province off to the French!
