Yet another trip to said Mountain Centre.
Friday afternoon saw myself waiting very patiently for JonH who reckonned he was stuck at work, when infact he was fitting his HIDs, so there was I waiting at the cafe in Bridgnorth stuffing myself with heart attack inducing collesterol chatting to Vern about general b#ll#x. Highlight - flashing my superman undies to dilectible hostess at the cafe.
Jon turned up all sparkly and smothered in High Discharge (not that kind) and off we set murmering about the apparent threat of snow on Sunday.
Half an hour after arriving at the lodgings Chris on his big fat KTM turned up, fair play to him after just drove down from sheffield, jumping on the bike in the mids and shotting straight over.
Friday evening saw a little beer consumed and the usual beef pies devoured.
Saturday started early at the cafe for brekky then Jons map reading skills were put into action and we found some great trails which saw us through a whole selection of scenery (mostly wet and windy). We even managed to finish of at Barmouth for some chips n curry in the afternoon, the sun was shining, and the possibility of snow was laughable. Highlight - Jon bought an edible dog poo on a stick.
Jon was his usual offroad godlike self and chris on road tyres was also similarly godlike so well done him.
Me, i was just sulking about having a squelchy boot.
Saturday saw snow abound as we took a very very cold route back to Crossgates for fodder, then home, everyone being thoroughly knackered.
Thanks chaps, good weekend, must get wamer gloves and remember goretex socks.
Anyway here's the vid, pics to follow hopefully.
