It threatened to be damp but wasn't really, more misty fog-ness on the tops, so Charlie turned up (first house-point;) and said she didn't want to ride Garburn! (deduct house-point!) Jamie rode out and did not want to ride any mud, Joel turned up, heard about possible mud and didn't want to ride, George turned up with jet-lag (serves him right;), but Charlie did have homemade cake and if we were going them lets get on with it, oh and we managed to talk Joel into coming as well. Straight up the road, little detour left via Browfoot, back onto the road, no mud straight to Garburn, best not prolong the agony for Charlie. So straight up Garburn, can't lie, there was some pushing and walking involved, not too bad and at the top gate we got cake made with no flour just all goodness and bananas (second house-point to Charlie). The top bit was foggy coming down, but suddenly cleared a few hundred meters down, tee off left for Dubbs descent which was v'fast and ace:), back to cars on road...no wait we took another detour, right turn at Mislet and across to Blackmoss and the route back to Ings, Joel got muddy! then back to the cars by 9. All good not even that wet, maybe some mud, but never as bad as you think.
Next ride Satterthwaite
