I did a little bit in wales this weekend :)
(Although something tells me ian would have done more in the lakes)

Wiill see how the land lies tomorrow with regards to babysitters etc

so who's out tomorrow?

I'll be there Dave, usual time.

I'm hoping to be there. Having the back end of the week off so need to sort quite a lot of stuff at work Monday and Tuesday.

I'll be there as well.

Really want to be there but still battling a stupid lurgy - hopefully my 15(!!) day course of antibiotics will help, funny I thought all the fresh air in wales during TnB would have helped rather than made it a million times worse

Awful feeling so rubbish when April seems to be looming rather too close for comfort

Hope much fun was had by all, sorry not to join you. But I'm riding up to Keswick from tomorrw morning so need to seemingly cram a week work into two days!

hmmm, i may try this every week!

twas a nice ride Ian, lovely night, freezing at lower level.

Mark has the frame bag for you

Is it normal service tomorrow? Wondering if we should consider planning a rockier route as I'm starting to tyre of endless mud....

Same time and place?

Sound good, but I think we have more chance of finding a route way-marked with £5 notes than mud free, even the rocks are softening up in this

Have a babysitter on standby - I don't want to tempt fate and say im definitely going to be cough free but I have my fingers crossed

True Paul! Although the Edale, Chaple gate,roych clough return viajacobs ladder will be mostly solid.

Realise it maybe a bit of a trek for people though...

IF folk are keen for that I could meet AW at mine collect mark and pick up Paul on the way through. Is it too far out the way for Dave though?

I'm on for tomorrow-happy with wherever really. A lift sounds good Ian if that works out ok. Am also happy to drive if required? Mark

great stuff. I'm happy to drive and have the 4 bike rack so it makes it easy.

i'll text dave now...

righto sorted. Although slightly odd as Dave text me just as I hit submit on the last post...

meet at the parking on the road to Upper Booth GR 104849 at 7:15-7:30.

AW can you get to mine for 6.30? (can text you my address) Mark I'll pick you up on the way, Paul can pick you up outside the curry place on the way through...6.50?

Sounds good thanks for the lift but I can meet you there no problem.
Paul

no worries paul, see you there. They'll be space for a lift back if needed though

Good stuff all. See you tomorrow.

Any takers for tomorrow?

I'll have to give tomorrow a miss I'm afraid-it is taking a lot longer than we thought to pack up ready for moving later in the week!

I'm going to be a no show as well, the in laws are here so I'm good for a morning on the bike tomorrow

Oh no! So Dave and Ione to the rescue? Ill contact them on their batphones...

It's a little way off yet, but pencil me in for the 24 Feb :)
On hols up there that week, so would be good to join you guys (& gals)

I will be there - and shouldn't have any problems with the time either as the children have deserted me for the evening. If i'd have thought i could have made it into a feb bivi and ridden straight to work in the morning . . . .maybe next time!

I'm home and fed now. Quite a long commute this evening. Rode from near northern general to the ladybower, lovely ride with Dave and Ione. Then rde home.

Another 68km/1920m in the bag...

Be good to have you along ian welcome any time (although I'd imagine a fair trip in the car to join us!) what brings you up this way?

Edit - have actually read properly now. Enjoy your holiday
