Curry is an integral part of XOTF and hopefully always will be

Sort of the main reason why folk go, well if you discount the drink.
I was testing the Lakeland Spice on Sat to ensure all was OK for you all, also to ensure i/we can carry out a special treat on the night after dinner they agreed! very good of them.
So upstairs is booked, again they are very accommodating on numbers.

Are we allowed to start counting down the number of sleeps yet? :closed:

It's good to be on the curry list.

The combo of beer and curry may make camping a prudent choice in spite of the chilly weather.

Looks like can't make the night out now :thunbdown: enjoy...

On the plus side I am booked in Ambleside for a weeks holiday for Christmas :thumbup:

Hi Trev
All being well we will meet at Moot Hall at 10 am i suggest this so we can use all available transport then out to Loweswater to the start point, if parking is difficult at start location their are other parking locations nearby, we will then set off and the trick is to be on Darling fell at 12 noon.
Some will make their own way to Loweswater so it will be usual chaos the only two times that matter are 12 noon Darling fell and 7 pm The George

Are folk getting their training in for this year's XOTF? Not running obviously, but guzzling fine ales and scoffing loads of spicy food :w00t:

Much training this weekend, it has been good

Been eating curry and drinking beer a lot the last couple of weeks, training is in full swing :D

I even had a drink last night - unheard of for me to have a drink on a school night under normal circumstance - it's going well :)

Good work people, keep it up:thumbup:

Looks like I'm working on Saturday!:thunbdown:

Training commences in earnest at 2pm tomorrow :thumbup:

:boohoo:

i am going would not miss it for the world this year! less negative more positive

We'll be there. Accommodation been booked for weeks. Only concern is training is all to pot. Too much running and not enough drinking :o

Come on DT, sort yerself oot

Pubs open in a few hours, get a quick run in now and get the real training started by lunch time!

(is it safe to admit I'm a light weight with a maximum capacity of no more than 4-5 pints)

Training was bad last night - only one glass of wine. I'll make up for it tonight. :closed:

It is getting closer! I have a heavy training weekend planned :)

I'm doing badly.
Just a couple of glasses of wine all last weekend, and no ale for weeks. :thunbdown:
