3rd January 2013 - Staveley

Anybody have any New Years resolutions.....well 2 made it out, Grant and CT, it was misty more than rainy and foggy in places, but we did not actually need any Goretex:) Keeping to the west side of the valley, up Browfoot lane, in the mist this seemed a long way when I thought we were mostly there, we still had half way to go! Steady climb up then right along to 3 rivers, but then down to Kentmere Hall, back via Long houses. The tops were very foggy, the climb up past long houses was a test, the navigation to Staveley head area where we went right to HP was tricky in the fog and we know the way! Remember maps and compass when in doubt. HP was manageable still can't get the drop in right, at the bottom a few riders went past on the road, I am sure it was Heathers crew, I could hear her taking! back to the cars all before 9pm, the warm weather helped. Next ride Troutbeck
