Forecast update. It’s now supposed to be dry, but with 50mph winds! In my experience mental winds provide for much hilarity 😀
I had two route options from there, both of which involve going up a bloody great hill. The preferred option is to go up to the whitehouse via the PBW, the wind will blow us up nicely. It’s then an easy(in normal conditions!) couple of miles along the road next the reservoirs, before dropping down towards walsden and following the PBW down to the canal and back to the pub. Still do-able IMO, but the ride along the top next to the ressies will be a bit of a slog. It’ll be an adventure, and we are after all supposed to be super-hard northerners who laugh in the face of a bit of weather 🙂
