Conditions: windy mild, Torrential rain from 8, muddy then floody

Stats: None of note

Notes:

Dire weather predictions + dark nights = time to strike North West for leafstrewn tracks under the trees with a highly civilised finish.

Alex 2 taggs along in camo top to test us out vs the Nancies (epic fail!?)

this week TJ is mostly testing the gently green magicshine twin headlamp helmet mounted unit

All is well until that “so precisely where is the descent?” moment, trial and error(s) finally lead most of us down a familiar trail as the heavens open!(but we lost Eric & G along the way – or maybe that was the otherway around?)

Traverse track a trifle tricky to pick out as the freshly fallen leaves cover evenly muddy ground.

A cheeky bradford/hocker before the warmth and dryness of the Legh Arms, reuniting with G

Unicorn and 1892 (aka Hatters Mild) or Veltins, good service, unfeasbily large burgers and “Meet the Kershaws part deux”

Cashlow condition is genetic! 🙂 late drinking to no avail as it’s still hammering down for the wettest ride home on roads simply awash with water!

Did El Pres & PTD wimp out with El Pud lift capability???

Full man points for the Poynts
