Thanks Amex for your organising and for the surprise fantastic stuff. And thanks everyone for your patience, when I was lagging behind Next year I will keep up. Speaking of which, if staying out til 4 is the order of the day I should brush up on my partying skills as well

How many sleeps til next XOTF?

< cries > and feels even more sorry for herself for missing a top event even though I have bought myself a consolation prize from which I am currently typing and accessing the internet: a cute little netbook

Weather is glorious here and the hills look very attractive with a powedering of frost on them... but I can't go out, as I still have a bit of a temperature. Mind you, my leg was hardly dragging anymore when I went to Curry's earlier, to buy the netbook, which is good news!

Bloody brilliant indeed.

Respect to the suicide squad who showed balls of steel and did Sharp Edge,

"Suicide squad" .. I quite enjoyed it, if there was just abit less ice i think we'd have got across and reached the top.

It was brilliant to meet all the peeps ive not yet been able to , nee bother...WHAT A LEGEND and isnt a bad dancer at all.
Mountain Goatess likes to dance.....and Emmi....jesus christ....i think she wins the award for the best dancing....sorry steve.

Thankyou very very much softie for the lift, it was a quality journey home in the snow.

Just got back, glad i left the caravan at home!!!! Weather just got worse and worse, windy hill exit off M62 is like a battlefield, cars and lorries sliding all over.
Great Weekend though, nice to see old faces and new, great run, shame about not making the loft, but need to behave myself these days sounds like you all had a great time, hope you all make it home safely and have great xmas's

Ok what a fantastic weekend.
got to say the girls scrubbed up well for the evening.
Mountain Goatess should be called Mountain Goddess
One hill wonder just looked incredible in that top
and Emmi just seems to look gorgeous on or off the fells.
right, drooloing and perving over.
Thanks Amex for a great weekend and for all the time you have obviously spent getting this together. it was a great route yesterday and the mulled wine fixed my knee long enough to get me to the end of the run. respect to them that were in shorts and T shirts
I have never laughed so much for a long time. nice to meet merrylegs, mrs merrylegs and the two minilegs.
SteveS was definitely a nifter mover on the dance floor but also Amex had some nifty moves. as for the girls dancing...oops..alreadt drooled that one.
I hope everyone got back through the snow. i had to turn round a couple of times to find a road home that was not blocked so i don't think i will be going to work tomorrow.
cant wait for next XOTF (if my knee is better by then)
PS the guy at the Crow Park was asking me who Al Fowler was but i pretended i did not know him

[stevefoster]

And Turbo Tom, what can be said, PINK LEGEND, hard as nails or daft as a brush?
Good show young man

That sounded good fun, really pee'd off to have missed it, right choice in the end though if I'd have got there there's no way I'd have gotten home, it's snowing like hell here.
