Notes:
Our Prodigal “sons” Dan & Joe returneth (albeit a bit late)
Despite calm conditions at BL we receive dire warnings of wind higher up from the paragliding community
Tootle up to teggs and huddle awaiting Joe in a stiff breeze
Teggs in great condition
The evil ascent to Chazza at least keeps us out of the wind ..and provides Dan & G with a strava segment to attack (7th)
A Coley cameo as we regroup..but he’s not riding with us tonight!
Something big had trashed chazza’s sides (logging wagon), icy in places but not in a dangerous way , extension extra loose on the lower section (for no apparent reason!?)
Back of the moon not frozen this week but still very firm, and a long overdue return to the grassy descent 🙂
Peach Brandy from TJ…just because (neat mini shot glasses!)

Rapid descent to Church house for pre ordered food and a warm fire.
Headless & Beaufort Scale, G orders a round of baby Guinesses, El Pud graces us with his “executive producer” status 😉 Glenmorangie snifters, a realization that we owe a bit more than we thought and off home.
