Similar but we went up Chapel Gate.

and didn’t go to perryfoot. That’s half the route.

email me and I’ll gpx you up.

Did the route again today. Watch out on pindale some of the dry stone way has fallen onto the path. Chapel gate and rushup edge both turned into streams today.

@bigdean – thanks for the info, off out in a few mins, will head head off on a different route. Cheers, Paul.

Yeah, dont think i’ll got to that ride – don’t want to make you all feel embarrassed about making me do all the gate duty thingys….!

Out today with a few of the pootlers and have to say i havn’t laughed that properly for months! Thank-you trucker! Poor MartynS had to put up with a couple of giggly girlies all the way (im still laughing now)…

Thanks guys!

I really do wish I lived alot nearer the peaks. I love it there and wish I could get up more!

Hells recipe for you –

Date, apple and walnut loaf.

4oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1.5 teaspoons baking powder

then add apple, walnuts, dates, finally add the milk.
mix well.
transfer to 8.5cm x 19cm loaf tin (well buttered).
spread evenly and bake for 1 hour until loaf feels springy in the centre and use a skewer inserted this should come out clean.

Let the cake cool for a minute or 2 and turn out onto a cooling tray. Keep in airtight container when cooled down.

Note – my cake took 1hr 10 minutes.
Enjoy.

Pre-heat oven to gas 4 or 180c This is an old recipe (Delia Smith) so don’t know fan.

Solarpowered – I don’t know how I had the energy to type out that recipe after today’s ride.

Excellent!! Thank you & great typing!!
*checks the cupboard for ingredients*

Hey it’s all good! Dont know where mines come from…..just done the washing up, two clothes washes, changed bedding and made cooker hob all shiney! (that gives me a lot of happiness….sad aint i)

Havn’t cleaned bike – is that sacrilige ?(cant spell)

Wish i lived closer to them hills…..

Solarpowered, you deserve a lie in!

Weapon, feet, wash and eat. Always clean the bike first. 🙂

….or get someone else to wash your bike for you (blows a kiss to Onzadog).

Bunnyhop that cake sounds fabulously virtuous. Bet it tastes exactly the opposite!

Longest pootle thread ever? There must have been a good dozen punctures, every descent claimed 3 or 4, even the linykyup nondescript ones.

Was great to have so many new folk along, cheers all.

Solarpowered – I ended up having to wash two bikes in return for having the afternoon off 🙂

redwoods – I normally get nbt to do all the servicing and mechanical bits on the bike, naughty I know.

slowrider – +1

Yup was a good pootle

Always clean the bike first

Promise i will from now on 🙄 Bike had a thorough MOT today and is now extremely shiney!

I ended up having to wash two bikes in return for having the afternoon off

Reckon i would’ve cleaned ten for that afternoon of riding! Twas ace!

Given how well I keep your bike redwoods, I think It’s worth blowing more than a kiss.

Edale at the deepdene? free layby 815 faff, 830am start if anyone else fancies it.

It would feature either Beast, screaming DH/fairholmes then Hagg farm descent back

or Mam, Cavedale, mam old road then the chute back.

what day you great hor?

Why you free one day? Or my lack of organisational/lackidasical skills? 😆

Given how well I keep your bike redwoods, I think It’s worth blowing more than a kiss. OMG! 😆

Ah Sat. Why can’t you organise everything. I just like to tag along

no, its just you haven’t told anybody in your invite up there ^^^

BH, I meant it should be worth a least two. What were you thinking? 😉

Sat 8.15amish. Barber Booth (free). Route dependent on weather.
