Mine's nearly finished. And if this rain continues, should be afloat nicely in the car park within the hour

You're going up Winter Hill in this? 😯

I can normally see it clearly from where I am at the moment. However, It appears to have gone missing

Derek - were you getting some preparation in for Saturday, in riding while wet and cold?

Will be using the slab at Gisburn Forest as a slipway to launch mine on Wed night. I think the water level may have reached there by then. 🙁

I'm a bit perplexed by all this ark talk......been pretty dry here (near Derby) since the April drought, Carsington reservoir is the lowest I've seen it in 10 years, think I've had 1 muddy ride since March, just unrelentingly dry and dusty riding round here this summer.

It's been hell, I tell you.... 😀

Ever since November last year all we've had our way is cold, wet stuff falling from the skies.

I'm beginning to wonder if there's anything left up there?

**** that, i've been up there enough times in crap weather, this qualifies me a place in the warming bosom of the Bank top tap instead of night rides when the weather is crap. 😆
