Let me know what you all think and lets make a little list :)

Re: Xmas on the fells

I'm up for that if I can get away from work. Running, cycling and curry good - dancing, bad. Happy to scope a route for those interested.

I prefer cycling over dancing... Actually, I doubt my knee will allow me to dance ;)

A route would be good, better than Whinlatter :)

Re: Xmas on the fells

You can hire one for it. There is a shop in Keswick that hires MTB's out :)

The MTB list is starting to look good :D :

Re: Xmas on the fells

When you guys book denton house have you all talked to each other and got into groups or have you just booked it and you just see what dorm you end up in ?. Do you tend to book both Friday and Saturday night also ?.

Re: Xmas on the fells

I just booked into a 4 bed room. I suppose it might be possible to sort out room changes on the day depending on how many people are staying at the hostel.

Re: Xmas on the fells

Hann, I USED to like you now look what you've done!!
Anybody who wants to mountain bike let me know what sort of route you like. So far I'm assuming about 4 hrs setting off from close to Keswick, rideable all the way(no hike-a-bike) neither eyeballs out xc nor life threatening downhill techy.
I've cleared my PMs so feel free.

Amex - would you like me to separate this thread from XOTF?

Re: Xmas on the fells

No, keep it here Uncle! It is all part of the great weekend that is XOTF :)

And yes, that sounds like a good medium for a route. 4 hours maybe a bit too long for some? I am ok with that though... :)

Oh and I still like YOU, thanks for sorting us a route :)

I don't know how we'd have survived the night without John's bread, we'd have had to have called out mountain rescue. mmm, toast...

If we can hire bikes, I'm up for this :) And predictably, I prefer dancing to cycling, I'm yet to dislocate or break anything on the dance floor. :rolleyes:

Re: Xmas on the fells

Now booked in at Denton House for the Friday and Saturday :w00t:. They've put me in a 4 bed dorm but I guess we'll be able to move about anywhere. It was a fun night in that dorm a couple of years ago :)

Yes. We are going to hammer ourselves into a coma on the mountain bikes the day before and then run run as best we can the next day. The following curry and beer will obviously take effect and one of 2 things will happen a. dancing that looks like dry land drowning or b. trying to pick up young women which will also look like dry land drowning. Illness will be the inevitable result, our partners will stop talking to us and we will have had an excellent XOTF - result.
