To continue the theme of understatement - It was quite windy last night...

Wild at times not don good for actually sleeping

anyone playing out tomorrow evening?

7 ish start from the usual spot.

I'll be there :)

Wednesday evening ride anyone?

I have never ridden across the newly opened froggat / burbage edges.. so fancy a start somewhere to suit.
Can someone suggest a start point? and a 2 hour ride?
If not, I'll make something up and update here no worries.

If we could start a little earlier, great, if not 7:15 is fine.

Who's in?

if we meet at the road side parking just up from the fox house pub (SK 267803) we can do longshaw, white edge, baslow triangle, curbar-frogatt, up burbage (which is still pretty trashed and muddy at the bottom due to the forestry work) then back down houndkirk. Options to do an extra loop down into Blacka if we want to extend the evening.

I'm easy on time

Il be up for that as well.

I should be up for this as long as I can shift me cold in time (looks like it's going).

I'll also be there. Aiming for as close to 7 as possible!

Think I will bail as I'm still not 100%.

Have fun!

gonna be a snowy one...

Mark and I are just about to head out now. may give this evening a miss.

will see...

I'm bailing out tonight. Her indoors is stuck at work.

Snow day

is anybody showing up?

Waste of time out there anyway. Snows reet deep

Where did you head to in the end?

I was all by myself, I started from blue john, headed over mam tor, which took ages. Knee deep in places, cant see the path at all. I was going to head down to castleton but since its not all that well known to me I dropped down the edale side. Got a bit further on and couldnt see the bridleway at all, even though it follows a sunken trail. So I followed some footprints down the footpath instead. fell off 3 or 4 times.

At the bottom I decided I couldnt be bothered walking my bike up chapel gate and over rushup so just spun up the road and then went home.

8.6km in an hour

If it's any consolation, Ian and I didn't fare much better! 20 miles in 3 hours including several comical collapses-mainly me and hard work in the snow going up to stanage pole from Redmires.

shall we try again?

7 ish. Give or take, Wednesday night.

Think I may actually be able to join you this week - the planets must have aligned or something!

Would like to try to get this week but have meeting in Macc at 4 and the forecast looks interesting! See how it all comes together.
Paul

I'll be there-hopefully for 7 as well as my usual meeting is cancelled tomorrow

I'm not long back from wales, will try to get out tomorrow - meet at the fox house for this one?
