Re: 2012 DazH XOTF a beer?

Should arrive about 3pm. May go for a little run, or may head straight for the Dog and Gun. The jury is still out on that one, but I know what verdict is the most likely

Re: 2012 DazH XOTF a beer?

Ok, things are looking tricky! Currently flooded in, so without a helicopter airlift, I am not moving tomorrow. There is hoping it stops raining tomorrow early morning as per forecast, and the water will go down quickly, but we have flood alert for all 4 rivers and have been told by the police to stay put and put the sandbags in place :w00t: It is going to get worse during the weekend :w00t:

I most likely won't be able to go home Sunday, so currently putting plan B in action which is try and stay with friends in Cardiff on Sunday eve, so I will make my Monday morning flight to HOlland... Only thing is, do I want to leave my house for a week, with the flood alerts in place? It may not be there anymore, or not as dry anyway, as it is now :(

I will be on Darling Fell to raise a toast to Daz come rain, sleet or snow.

Re: 2012 DazH XOTF a beer?

Seriously poor show for The Loft tonight. What was wrong with you all? Got bored of xotf and couldn't see it through? Or is the dance off that intimidating? Surely Amex or OHW could have taken me?

Re: 2012 DazH XOTF a beer?

I must admit SteveS I was disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm myself ;) Hope you had a good night!

Anyway, I'm at the Moot Hall... Well a bit down from the Moot having been blown away, ready to go for this morning's fell run. Where are you all? Guess I'm on my own ;)

Well we raised a can of the black stuff to our good friend, one or two said a few well chosen words.

Then we pottered round for a couple of hours, just shy of 8 mile 1500 ft.

Couple of beers, curry, quite talking then early to bed.

Many thanks to Amex for making it all happen.
