Peak District Spring thing. Go on then

[ianfitz]

It sounds like the Spring Thing is A Thing. And I fancy jumping on that band wagon.

I'm suggesting a peak based outing meeting at noon ish at a train station TBC. On the 24th.

I need to be in Edale fairly early on the Sunday so selfishly the bivy will be close to the valley. The Edake Skyline fell race is on Sunday so if any one wants to hang about to watch others suffering there'll be opportunities!

I'd quite like to get a few miles in but can plan two routes that start and end at the same places. One longer, one shorter.

Shout up if you fancy coming.

I'm hoping to marshal or otherwise help at the skyline this year, so I'llll see if I can get out for the weekend instead....

I'll be marshalling to hence the arrangements.

[ianfitz]

Edit to insert the date. Always useful when arranging to meet people!

Might be up for this, hopefully keep the bike in one piece this time! I'll confirm nearer the time

[Bearbonesnorm]

On the 24th.

Isn't that a Friday?

[ianfitz]

On the 24th.

Isn't that a Friday?

Bollocks. Yes! I obviously mean the 25th which, therefore, will the a Saturday.

Saturday lunchtime. Bloody dates and calendars and stuff...

Yep, might join you for this Ian.

Please do

If you can figure out when it actually is

[Artie Fufkin]

Am interested Ian.
Could do with knowing what sort of distance and what sort of pace you are looking at?
Sounds good though.

[Rob A]

I would also be interested in this Ian, looking forward to further details

[Sarah]

I could be interested in this. Try and stay rubber side down this time.

Slow/shorter route probably for me.

[ianfitz]

Maybe meet at chinley station. Ride the southern loop of the Peak 200 to baslow then cut over to edale. That would be about 90km. Would aim to get to a pub for food at 8ish, probably the nags head in edale.

The shorter ride could start at chinley too that's not far from edale as the crow flys so there are many options to get there.

[PaulE]

I'm going to have to put off this, just realised that I'm at an uplift day in Shropshire that day.... Enjoy!

[In Reverse]

Are you still doing this Ian? Just trying to judge how many beers I'm allowed tonight...

[slarge]

Ahhh, balls. I'm out as I didn't get permission, it's mothers day on Sunday, and I have better stuff I now have to do

[ianfitz]

Sorry it had dropped off my radar. Nice day for it though...
