    Re: Xmas on the fells

    Well that was a lovely route:
    Am happy with it now it is as follows:
    Start at Armboth car park 305 170
    up past fishercrag Plantation up to Armboth fell (479m) 296 159
    over to High Tove (515m) 289 165
    across the Pewitts and up to the highest point of the route of High seat (608m) 287 180
    across to Bleaberry Fell (590m) 286 195
    then about face and head back to High Seat just before you start to climb back up head South East across the open fell side and come out at a ladderstile 299 183
    i then turned left along a track and at 301 189 turned right and took in the fell of Raven Crag (461m) 303 187 a fantastic view of Thirlmere opened up
    about face and down to 307 192 back along the side of the lake to car park

    I know its not a high level route but with winter in mind i feel it will be a great route for the folk amongst you who like numbers about 8 mile with 722 m (2368 feet)
    i put this to you for your approval

    There is again a walk on the Friday and meet Friday night for beer


    The official start time for Saturday is 11-11.30 am the 17th December

    For the ones who this is new to it is an xmas Pi$$up to be honest we meet on the sat run go for an Indian on the Sat night get drunk go dancing and wish each other merry xmas
    Going to try again....

    Re: Xmas on the fells

    To what extent is it rideable Amex? Either on a crosser or even a MTB?

    If not, I shall be walking... currently trying to decide if I am going to have my knee cut open on monday or if I am going to leave it as is... I can ride and race, it even survived 3 Peaks CX relatively unscathed, but I can't run... especially not downhill... There are no guarantees that I will be able to run afgter the op to tidy the cartilege, but the consultant thinks it will be as good as new again... Decisions decisions... I would quite like to have a cyclocross season this winter and not be laid up yet again for several months getting fat and unfit and having to regain fitness all over again at some point next year... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    Han i have no experience of this past time you call rideable??

    The route is renowned for being the wettest part of the lakes, a bit is open fell as well

    Shall we just go pub drink beer and say we rode it it??

    The only decision you need to worry about is how many poppadoms you will order 2- 3 or even 4!

    Re: Xmas on the fells

    I want 4 poppadoms... possibly even 5

    Pub drink beer and say we rode it seems like the way forward to me
