The pass word this year shall be issued a few days prior Winston Angus Micoatup the night club owner was concerned last year that the Internet had allowed many folk to gain cheap access, so he want to keep it schtum!

I think Winston forgot to inform the cashier of the password last year, i had to pay full price :mad:. I'll be speaking more clearly this time, and maybe repeating myself in case my loiner accent is hard for cumbrians to understand...by eck.

Re: Xmas on the fells

I know nobody missed me but... I'm back, in a new job with slightly less money and a 5 hr drive each day. Whoopee. Anyway no grumping. Can I please have a show of hands for this bike ride thing wot hann made me plan. Relatively short but tasty MTB route UNSUITABLE for 'cross bikes or hybrids but fine for hart tails etc. No pads or armour obviously. Takes place the day before XOTF and unless you stop for a long lunch you will be home before full dark sets in.

Re: Xmas on the fells

I'll be arriving in the lakes around midday, i won't be doing any cycling on friday because i don't know what i'm doing saturday, if i'm hung over from too many Godfathers i'll be walking with H. Might have a poke around the slate mines in Tongue Gill.

I could well be tempted, Fleeter, but I've just had a look at your blog and strongly suspect you are significantly faster than me even when at my best - and I am far away from my best (although ran Ok ish tonight on a local hilly route - but I'm not getting giddy just yet). Keeping my options open just at the minute. Feel I should do something a little more active than the Pub, though.
