Notes:
Crew boosted by reinforcements from Poynton & Kershaw
Super sunset over the Cheshire plains as we ascent the Buxton road.
Yellow canoe helmeted cyclist & friend make the grind up to charity more interesting.
Trails drier than a dry thing – great route when it’s like this.
Eric repeats his lighting faff – but trevors duct tape to the rescue!
Pete entertains with cheeky audio clips 😉
Good night for wildlife – at least 2 badgers, 2 donkeys & a field of bullocks
Phil 3 shows how to fall off into water & stay dry(well other than hands & feet!)
Dane Valley still tricky even when dry – but good fun!
Killer climb to Hanging gate made up for by excellent Hydes, Hello Boys & top homemade burgers!
iphone & GPS geeky comparisons for stats
Race around Ireland relay logistics too confusing to follow after 3 beers
5pb..(or did the axis of evil get to 6?)
Cold on the way home.
