I'm thinking about using the uplift service tomorrow, 6 seats left out of 16, so 10 other riders at least.

Just say, for instance....., that I was the slowest one down or wanted to take my time, session sections etc does that mean everyone else is forced to wait for the slowest rider at the bottom before the next uplift? Or does the uplift run continually and you just jump on the next one available?

What he said ^

You should beat the van down easily though even if you're last to leave. If you're sessioning stuff you'll just have to wait for the next one.

Why bother sessioning stuff when you can just ride the whole thing again... including that section?

I think they limit the number of runs, so you'll be waiting for the bus more than it's waiting for you.

Stopping to repeat little bits shouldn't hold you up enough to miss the bus. We only missed one bus, and that was due to taking our time over lunch.

They should give more time for lunch and stop dwadling throughout the day actually, you realise how fast they realy can turn it round when it's the end of day and driver wants to knock off.

MTFU and just go for it worked for us as 75% of us did not go to hospital after the first run.
