Got the day off today, but a few jobs to do. Then I'll pack me bags ready for the morning. See y'all at Moot Hall @ 1000!

Re: Xmas on the fells

Woke up this morning (duh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh *blues riff*) with stomach cramps and all the rest that goes with it. I won't be heading up today. Absolutely gutted to miss out on the festivities.:thunbdown::mad:

Hope you all have a good time, and take care getting back.

Re: Xmas on the fells

I'm feeling rougher than a badger's nadger, must have been all that fizzy blackcurrant in the george there's no way that 10 litres of iron brew VK can be to blame...reyt stuff. The Loft is the only nightclub i've ever been in with such a high ratio of 18-23yr old girls, that place must be a well kept secret.

Thanks for organising it Amex, it's always easier to get to know people when you're pissed up and barking bollocks over a dash or two of The Godfather than at races trying to be sensible! Some may find this link interesting. :D

Re: Xmas on the fells

Well, those who did not make it for whatever reason missed a great weekend! I still have cramp in my jaws from all the laughing!

Heightpoint of the weekend has te be meeting Mr Brightside with his fishing rod on Friday at Seatoller... and the subsequent walk to the tarn. Seeing his face in true amazement at the fact that the tarn was frozen over:w00t::thumbup:

Brilliant walking with Martin and Mr Brightside, while the others ran along only just ahead of us in a glorious snow covered landscape with fab views! Lots of good craic at the George and Gun & Dog... tradional curry at Lakeland Spice and then... the LOFT... not been to a club in well, I think about 25 years!!!

The BGR seeing off relay went particularly well as well, pitty all parties had to pull out due to the rather severe weather...

Thank you Amex, God of the Fells and < whispers > the Loft... for trying to herd cats yet again and organise a brilliant weekend! Bring on XOTF 2011 :D

Re: Xmas on the fells

I will see what my photo's are like... I forgot my camera, used the mobile, which behaved erratically... possibly due to the cold! And it also started running out of batter on the Saturday, so had to stop using it alltogether :(

Re: Xmas on the fells
