Notes:
– A PTD production …and a brilliant route even if we had to cut it slightly short.
– Excellent turn out. Good to see Dunc, Big Dan, Nic, Dave H….
– Stakeside descent and Buxton Old Rd descent were classics …conditions could not be better !!!
– it was so dry, dusty and warm it made me think of Spanish MTBing
– Kersh handled challenge from Peak Park ranger with diplomacy and humour
– Poachers was the right answer….full of Nancies as expected
– Mutiny at Pym’s chair and the Poachers was the decision
– 11 still in Poachers at 12.30 !!
