Re: Xmas on the fells

Beer drinking is a default and doesn't need to be mentioned :)

Technology failed my HTC phone this morning but the link above is the planned XOTF cycle ride. Relatively lowland, not too long but a bit of fun. I have the Memory Map route available for those who are interested. maps will be provided on the day to those who ask but the printing is a little 'vague' at present.

Let me know if you are interested and don't be put off by the bone crunching references in the description. Its a mountain bike magazine after all, they don't cater for nails fellrunners!

Re: Xmas on the fells

I am coming babe, how could I miss XOTF? I do have a minor matter of the finals of the Welsh cross series on the 18th though, so I shall be driving back to Welsh Wales after Lakeland Spice on Saturday....

Thank you for the offer of a lift, but considering my early departure, it will be a tad impractical... xxx
