Oh ,so my plans for Helvellyn got scraped due to the wife needing me back home for 5pm so a Dark peak trip was in order , on the decent into Hope , my mate (ex road biker) said instead of doing the broken road lets do Winnets (get ti f”*^ I thought) but did it anyway ,
The reason I ask should I be proud is not for my p-poor Strava time but for this reason
On the climb up a Mamil came flying past me all legs and huffing and puffing as such on at least £5ks worth of carbon , “brave man not long to go he said* with a arrogant swagger about him my retort was simply slow and steady mate slow and steady
It wasn’t till I rounded the last corner I noticed same said mamil honking his guts up ,I couldn’t help but tell him not long now !
I know hes ok as he stopped for a brew at the Caf at the top ,but I guess he along will not understand that mocking a fatty isn’t always best
