Was up there at the bank holiday weekend. Had a look at the course, seemed ok from the Sun Inn beer garden, the pint of Golden Pippin wasn't bad either. :)

It would appear that it actually equates to 4.02 - I bet Papa is very pleased!! -- That was a very good time though.

2.00 hours on the Ben -- now maybe you need porridge!!!!

Yeah, give or take a couple of minutes :p . He is pleased, I will have to wait a full year to wipe that smirk off his face :rolleyes:. Set off very slow, probably too slow but at least I know for next time.

Dont really like porridge so I'll see if mapper will give me some soreen :cool:

Yep going to have a go at this i was 2.30 at Coledale am aiming for under 2.30 for this i know still slow but will get round somehow!

I've been looking at the route and it looks like a bit of a toughie!! That decent through the quarries will be interesting.
Hoping for about 1:30, nothing stunning.

Yep, Soreen's the stuff you need, but porridge (with a few additives;)) also helps.

See you on Saturday.

Pity Choccy Chops hasn't finishing pimping his van though ~ I was looking forward to a cruise round Coniston afterwards:cool:
