Hi all you ballbags
That was cold
I will for next year have two routes one above snow line one below as sinking up to my tads was no fun at all.
Hope you all enjoyed it

Yeah, it was a bit cold wasn't it. True to annual form, though, sunday was spectacular with the sun blinding me all the way home. Did you really get knocked back from The Loft?

So when is next year's event? :closed:

Amex my lovely, can we open the thread please?

Where will we run? Bike? Abseil? Go fishing, charm worms? Go sledgeing? I know where we will be drinking and dancing and eating!

I need something to look forward to...

I want to organise it, in a way that only an ambitiously alcoholic student could!!!

It doesn't need organising, we are perfectly happy in disorganised state... it just needs Amex to find us a nice route :)

I will happily throw together another challenging, but deeply rewarding, MTB experience for those souls with the ongoing determination to see things through to a successful finale. Last year was quite exceptional as repeat would be life changing!

Last year's route was well tough. I remember the master saying something like The Pewits was well known as the boggiest swampfest in all of The Lakes. I remember crawling accross the ice on all fours so as not to go plunging into 3 feet of boggy water at 0.1 deg.C.

Like this?
