Best pint – undoubtedly the stout in The Sunnyhurst!
Best Pub – Chetham Arms
Best tantrum – Binners on Darwen Moor (Sunnyhurst ride)
Best ride location – Ramsbottom
Best moment – lights off on Scout Moor
Best ride – tie between the snow ride in Rammy and the first trip to Sabden. Rammy probably gets it just for having chip butties at the end!
Most memorable ride – Chetham Arms with Baz and Duncan in absolutely monsoon conditions!
Moment of biggest relief – top of Pendle Hill in the fog and finding out that Chipps had had the sense to mark the direction back down to the village!
