    Re: Xmas on the fells

    Having reviewed last years posts, it would appear to be "just a big booze fest"

    As such interest has been raised

    Booze is being consumed over the span of the weekend... however, we also ride MTB's, walk, run and shop oh and eat! We even dance :w00t:

    Re: Xmas on the fells

    Thanks Hann first pint of Sneck's on me!
    Table top route as follows:
    OS4 Start Maggies Bridge NY134-210
    Then NY138-211
    Up road for a short while aim for 124-224 base of Darling Fell up to Darling Fell at 128-225
    then over to Low Fell South Top 135-222 then Low Fell North Top at 137-226 from here it's a bit sketchey my time walking the route will be well spent here from my memory we hit a wall at some point and aim for Fellbarrow at 132-242 the highest point of the route.
    from here its down to Wiikes How 121-238 find our way to youth hostel then to Hudson Place Farm follow lake via Watergate farm back to Maggies Bridge.
    after last years very cold outing i have tried to lower the height to a max of 416m not high but if its cold it's high enough.
    i have another route sorted should the weather be good an that route will be to a max of 552 m we will see nearer the date

    If booze is consumed while people ride MTB's, walk, run etc, then that's more like it. Just like the annual New Years club run.

    I will have to sit on the fence for a wee while yet though and see whats what nearer the time

    Re: Xmas on the fells

    I will be mostly walking. Running and MTBing is too hard
    Oh and drinking. I can do that bit.
