The confusion is sorted, phew as I didn't fancy fighting DeeJay at Sumo 
nbt will lead and hopefully stop at a couple of watering holes along the route. 
Meeting point: Marple Lakes, Near Stockport. (Linky later)
Start time : 9.30 a.m.
Terrain: Rocky trails, hilly, a few road bits, you know the usual.
About 4 to 7 hours depending on numbers and mechanicals.
All welcome.
Come on Marsdenman, you know you want to. 
I'm in, obviously. Bribes accepted for route choice - no stops, cafés, pubs etc
Are you sure about that date 
DATE needs editing Nov surely!
WIll try but may struggle with a day pass two weeks running.
I'm thinking this will be a small scale event
a kind of test run for something larger scale next year
Doh! I'm really dopey today

he would be a definite FAIL at Sumo as far too skinny, and his beard would allow you to get a grip and pull his head off

The best way is to come down Lakes Road from the middle of Marple.
Google maps seems to be fixated on sending people down Linnet Clough. Technically it's a road and your Sat Nav may direct you that way too, but it's not really too suitable for your average car. You'll find this out as it'll probably be the first climb
I'm in

Original Marple thread now locked
As I've just discovered.
Had mentioned the Dark and White Trailquest as they run over quite a small area - 1:50,000 extract on A4 - approx 14km by 8km. Last year it covered bridleways east of Hayfield except Middle Moor. West it was Chinley Churn, Lantern Pike, Mellor Moor / Hague bar. Think there was about 100-130 people last year.
Blimey, it's possible you may get the pleasure of my company. Haven't seen you guys - NBT / Bunnyhop - for yonks

intentional or typo ??
What's the route?

My dyslexia trips me up once more lol.
ginsterdrz - MemberWhat's the route?
Dunno, I'll think about it closer to the time, when I've got a better idea of numbers and weather. It will certainly involve the Last Drop to Rowarth and the descent from the Fox to Strines station, though
I'll be there.
I may consider gracing the ride with my presence
I may have to ditch the party. 
Kramer - This is a party. Just not the type you're used to. 
Evenin all!
So, the man from Marsden - he say Yes!
(Any rumours that I'm only doing this 'cos Hora has said yes will be treated as slanderous )
Think HP is up for it as well.
Currently up for this one myself, deffinately a new area for me.
as i said to jules earlier today, i reckon i'll be up for this too.
The Lady in the cafe does bacon butties, toasties and some healthy snacks too, if people want to come a bit earlier and have a bit of breakfast alfresco.
