25th October 2007 - Winster

7 turned out for the Winster round circuit, but which way round? We started downhill a few hundred yards, until a left turn to Crag Lane, where my 1st battery gave out (after my headlamp bulb blew) so we enjoyed Charlies new Li-on with extra brightness! On up the track, cross over the road heading past Bow Mabble Breast, left at the lane and up the tarmac past Batemen Fold, take the right road and look for a left turn up past Stonehills Tarn, enjoy the descent back to the main road, now we came back to the cars, as we were doing a figure of eight circuit. Down to the ford to enjoy the tarmac climb, steady progress to the top, where we re-grouped to go past Cote and green hill, enjoying the lane back towards high house farm, George and Charlie swapped bikes to compare, both liked their own steed. Once back at the road cycle back to the cars, with a little detours past Broom hill. A couple of us decided to try the pub, as it has had a makeover with new owners, someone else thought we meant meet at the Gilpin, so in the end no one met up for a drink, rubbish organising, at least the next ride meets at a pub! The Red Lion at Lowick.
