24th January 2008 - Elterwater

7 turned out (after having a rest last week!) Joel even had a shiny new white P7. The route went something like this head out of the car park, as I was checking my gears I turned right, everyone followed, but we were going left...! so left up the first lane to the quarry, get that P7 muddy! up the tree climb and down to the gate, head for the ford, but NO turn right at the road and tee off left for the climb up the knotts and onto High Tilberthwaite, a great downhill rocky tester! Have a little fun at the playground then off for Hodge Close, there were some washed out sections so watch out. Then onto the NT descent, no a bad way to finish then back to the cars. No beers at the Britannia 'cause it was closed?? so we went back to Ings so a beer. Next ride Gilpin Bridge.
