That DRZ impresses with its traction to be honest although I think it would
be nicer in the snow if the seat height wasn't so lofty.

I took the Duke out today, to blow away some cobwebs and visit my elder

PMFBI; nice pics. But pray tell, what on earth are the shapes like
great claw marks in the fields off to the left a bit? Was that the
result of a ploughing competition or something?

If you mean the white stuff on the google maps image to the left of the
corner it's the limestone spoil left over from some ancient lead mining

Other marks on the mountain are from peating and turf removal
