Can confirm that we have been round the rote today------ fantastic very tough early steep climb and not easy running till past tarn but good and very runnable after tarn, around 7-8 miles 1800 feet
Can't wait now..... All deposits paid but moneys will be required early December will give more detail soon.....

I don't know what i'm doing yet fitness considered. It's probable i'll be riding from Rosthwaite (fast, road) to Watendlath where i'm assuming the snap will be, after that i'll probably take the bridleway up Bowdergate Gill and wait for everyone near this resting stone thing. From the resting stone thing the bridleway is the only route into Rosthwaite. I might end up just shopping in Keswick but if i'm out this is what i'll be doing, i can't see you slowing me down in a month of sundays if you want to join me!

I think a lot of it is because so many of us are crap at committing to anything in advance. It's almost like we have to do some kind of organising this year And there's nothing against Lofting on the Friday is there?

38 sleeps to go, which by reckoning means about 38 days before looking to sort out somewhere to stay.
