We seemed to do our Sunday 7:30am rides a couple of years in the snow and ice for weeks. Remember a particular chilly -12 degree start. Thank God for DHB thermal biblongs.
Well, yes it was a bit drafty on top of Pendle last night but did we die ? - no.
Did we enjoy a cracking cheeky descent in the lee of the hill - yes we did.
Shame on all who cried off last night.
it was blustery low down but not hugely windy played around in the woods but nowhere near bad enough to call foul.
DONK did go up Winter Hill and described it as blustery but we played in the woods mainly and did Wilderswood but did not top out on any hills
Is pendle hill worth a trip out and from what side do you do it?
Any chance of a guided tour Mr Thump?
When it's too hot and dry, like it still is down here in the tropical sythe..
Or when there's a risk it's so windy we get knocked off by coconuts falling from the Palms..
It did get a bit warm Friday night, I had to stop and shed a layer ran out of water, (it's being rationed down here now).
Junkyard,
Pendle is only a short route but definately worth an outing.
Ride from Barley. Bit of road then a brutal climb up the [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=380622&Y=441182&A=Y&Z=115 ]main path from Pendle House[/url]
The singletrack descent from the trig down [url= http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=379779&Y=441249&A=Y&Z=115 ]Ogden Clough[/url] requires a bit of navigation/knowledge but it is the bit that makes it worthwhile.
Boggies southern contingent do it a few times a year as a Wednesday night ride. You wouldn't want to fight off the red-socks during daylight. Keep an eye on the [url= http://www.bogtrotters.org/rideslist.php ]rides list[/url]
When a spirit from your past appears through the white out and silently indicates the safe route off the mountain.
