Okay guys - see if any one can beat this.

Left Edinburgh at 2.30pm Friday for Hebden Bridge arriving around 6.30pm to a blast of sleet and rain. Search out a pub to watch my beloved QPR who are making a rare appearance on Sky. All pubs in HB showing Wigan rugby league game. Return to hotel around 9.30pm. Get a text from wifey back home in Scotterland saying chap has called and the race is cancelled. QPR lose 5-0. Head for home after breakfast, make detor to Lake District as weather doesn't look too bad. Hit by a blizzard half way up Bowscale Fell forcing a hasty retreat. QPR still losing 5-0. End result 507 miles of driving and one hour's running ! By the way the organisers did me a big favour, having not reccied the course it was all looking a bit wild and not a place to picking daisies if you don't know your way around. Anyway hopefully they will re-arrange. At least I may be a bit fresher for the Carnethy 5 up here next week.
