The wind made the climb a little more like hard work than recent ascents but apparently not for Mr I who was off the front again.<br \/>\nWhat is taken in one direction is given back in the other as the wind assisted the descent of Danebower; there were tales of skittery bits and tank slappers on the dry gravelly track. Across the road the terrain was more suited to Danny MacAskill than us mere mortals but despite a few pushes and shoves everyone emerged grinning \u2013 but  not as much as after the superb drop down into the valley. The final bit to Three Shires was the first reminder of why this is a \u201cpath less trod\u2026\u201d with rocks the size of small cars. The second reminder of paths less trodden was when the crazy decision was taken to tackle the \u201cswampy route\u201d out \u2013 it was a little drier than normal but we were aware that this was where Coley had almost disappeared on a previous visit.<br \/>\nThe stupid steep climb out at Knar was too much for Butty\u2019s gear cable so we left him behind. Well most of us did, Coley was assigned to help the repair as the rest headed on.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maccaustinsorguk\/14620152861\/in\/set-72157645207076648\/player\/\" width=\"500\" height=\"167\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>At the regroup at the gate on Cumberland Brook there was much tyre pressure faffing before the descent although if we\u2019d stayed a bit longer we would have witnessed Butty\u2019s head first arrival following a 3600 spin over the ford.<br \/>\nOver Standing Stone and the RHS was just too good to miss on a dry night before a blast down to Bob\u2019s Bench for a PtD birthday tipple. Unfortunately the Scotch was accompanied by that other famous product of the Scottish Highlands \u2013 midges, so we drank two hasty toasts and legged it. Slim was due to rendezvous at the bench but it was a case of  \u201c *um\u201d let\u2019s get out of here.<br \/>\nLeffe and Golden something or other in Sutton Hall, with the lowlight of the evening being the bowl of \u201ctable salad\u201d ordered by MrI \u2013 what\u2019s that about.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/maccaustinsorguk\/14621282694\/in\/set-72157645207076648\/player\/\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Words by Eric Crew; PtD, Stunt, Mr I, Croxy, El Pres, Coley, Butty, Eric In the pub; Slim.?
