Amex, let me know if you want some thoughts on a route that is both rideable and runnable?

Definitely up for it. I may even bring Mr Hanneke, if he lasts that long ;)
Amex, how about somewhere we can cycle, the others run or walk?
I liked the Skiddaw, that was an excellent party!
I've booked the B&B for the 19/20th, is that the dates everyone else is working to?
Can't wait to get tanked up on Loweswater Gold friday night.
Don't you go overdoing it on Friday and spoiling your weekend ;)Quote:

Would be up for the Skiddaw hotel do again, preferred that to the curry, but I'm not that fussed if ends up being something else as long as beer and dancing is involved at some stage.

Sorry, I'm probably bailing out this year. I *might* come up Friday for a beer or two in the Dog and Gun and a run / bike round on Saturday, but I'm working Friday and elsewhere Sunday so definitely can't stay Saturday night, and not sure I fancy Friday evening on the M6!.
I can't walk, let alone run! :-o
It seems to look like we are a bit thin on the ground for the Saturday evening? I heard some rhumours about puppies stopping play?
Mr Hanneke is moving house the weekend before, if all goes to plan, so allthough he would like to come along, he may have to bail out...
Do we have to book the Skiddaw party, or could we decide nearer the time, i.e. on the day/dat before?
I am going to have to look for a bike route then... I am trying to remember what route St John in the Vale was... Dom, if Mr Hanneke can't make it, do you fancy driving up together on Friday eve after work? Should be quiet on the road by then...
Ah, St John in the Vale, I was walking backwards that year, because of my knee not wanting to bend... I have the same problem now :) That was when I had to dig out my car, wasn't it? Low turnout because of snow stopping play?
I will have a look for a cycle route that can meet halfway with the runners for some minceing pies?
Maybe :)

Better map... slight adaptation can be made, as would start Threlkeld/finish Threlkeld or even Keswick, adding an out and back along the disused railway line. I do wonder how accessible the rest of the disused railway line is, as that would make a much better loop. I doubt it is, or I would have found it as a route.
Just called the Skiddaw Hotel, seems all their party nights are fully booked...

Amex, are you and martin booked in for The Skiddaw? H says it's full. If we aren't able to book in why don't we just see where we end up? Maybe there's one of those kerdiddle things going on somewhere, we can have a competition to see who can go like a fiddler's elbow?Quote:

Mind you, the shape I'm in, running might be stretching things a bit far. More like a waddle!!
You've been quiet recently. Busy with Mini OneHill and mince pie season prep?Quote:

Numbers are looking low for the dog and gun friday night, are you and martin up friday steve?
Myself and Pat will be in the Dog and Gun on Friday night. We'll have the pup with us who will only be 18 weeks old so can't go too far on the hills yet but we'll have a mooch, maybe meet up at some point and haven't planned what to do Saturday night yet, go with the flow.
Sorry to hear that, Hanneke.Quote:

Is there still a meet and that Moot Hall thingy 10.30hrs on the saturday?
Well, three of us in the Dog and Gun last night. We've arranged to meet at Moot Hall at 10.30 but.....
Nige, i missed the 10.30 today because i'm hung over and slow. Have a nice day at the TDHelvellyn, i'll be in the Dog and Gun at 7.30-8.00ish tonight unless there is another plan, i'm shopping in Keswick today so i'll keep my eyes peeled for amex and martin if they are around.Quote:

Just the one hardy forumite in attendance on saturday night to keep the homefires burning and the Loweswater Gold flowing. Bumped into Chris K in one of the outdoor shops, the race we were trying to remember the name of is Elterwater Common! Noticed the lesser spotted forumite known as trimm trab on saturday night too. Can we recussitate the old girl for next year, or do we get the gamekeeper to rename the thread QAHXOTF?
