21st April 2011 - Staveley for Kentmere

6 met up at Barley Bridge, including some old friends, Phil (once a year is enough) Meades and Lois (On a classic Orange E3, rigid with canti-brakes), along with Ian, George, Jamie and CT; everyone else was on holiday, out sunning themselves or resting? So we headed up 2 rivers down to Kentmere Hall and up Long Houses to finish down HP, a great classic especially in the dry conditions. Notes; Phil had a puncture but going up hill after the first stream crossing, so we all had a sit down in the evening sun; Lois went easy on any downhill, rocky section or water slash but still had a good time; CT managed to climb up long houses rocky bit with no dabs, Jamie just rode up! Back at the cars and time to say Aurevoir to Phil as he is soon to head off to Devon, warmer climate and all that, flatter hills....Next ride is Troutbeck park near church.
