Crew: El Pres, PTD, Butty, TJ, Bernard, Dan, G, Slim, 3 Sheds, Joe

Pub: Shaun, Mawds, El Pud

Route: BL, Teggs, Nessit Ascent, Shutlingsloe slabs, two sided valley, wildboarclough plunge pool, standing stone, Leathers Smithy.

Conditions: Blue sky, dry trails, a hint midgy

Notes:

Prodigal sons returneth from the darkside and adulating olympians

Glorious views on sunlit fells, dodging clusters of walkers & dogs, sweating profusely up hills, and blasting down bone dry trails.

Still boggy from the slabs to the valley.

A few manly riders braved the refreshingly cool (!!!!) waters

TJ may have to take some WADA tests as his 6 pack and rippling shoulder muscles are toned to perfection.

A quick blast back over the forest under a red sunset to catch food at the Smithy

NO CHIPS!! but Duchards, Posh lager, and El Pud!!!

Gruesome tales of surgery and too much information on recovery symptoms 😉

He’s looking damn good for +1 week from H Day
