Don't touch the 'www.stanleyarms.com' website with a ten metre cattle prod! You've been warned!

I had a look from work Virus software went mental!

I saw enough to see it was £50 a night

Hey Gav, just to let you know, Caroline, Laura and i have booked into "the ryles arms" for that weekend, so were up for road and mtb ride, BRING IT ON

I won't be making this one at my brothers for the weekend so a full weekend of mud and rocks for me with no road play

do you know of any good campsite up there

Ok, got the whole of next week off, including Sunday, so I'm up for joining you guys for some MTB action!

Please go easy on me tho! I haven't sat on the bike since December, and I'm having 2 teeth out on Thursday, so may not be firing on all cylinders Going to be unsing this as a kick start back into (cardio)fitness.

Any idea of meeting point/time and stuff?

Details details details!

Cheers! bg

Sounds cool Gav, Caroline Laura and i will see you on Saturday, i,ll call you later

Big thanks to Big Gav and Julia for the guiding today.

The weather and ride were great and I'm amazed how you managed to get 18 miles of climbing into a 20 mile loop!!!

I'll be a climber one day........................I hope.

Thanks again, I had a great time.

And thanks to you Si for picking up my front wheel that must have rolled out of the back of my car when I had my back turned. (naughty naughty wheelie)

Yes thanks guys for a great weekend. Luckily Julia was there to keep Gav in check and make sure he didn't totally crusify us with an extra 100 mile loop.

Thanks to Smegger for letting me draft all the way up the hill to the Cat & Fiddle.

Good ride,

Has anyone got a record of how many meters we climbed?
