    i did it last month glenridding up to the quarry, up the bridelway, up to sticks pass, carry on up to helvellyn,down dollywagons and back to patterdale.

    It was a mega push up for at least 50% but the descending was amazing, brutal and exciting all in one.

    just way up if you prefer the decent over pushing up.

    Only one question I want to answer as you hae been spot on with everything that has been done so far.

    Q5- I think it needs toilet facilities but I can’t see the need for a trail centre style cafe/shop, how is honestly going to come back down the hill? Maybe something in the bowl will be better?

    it’s poor riding, i have seen people chciken out of riding down the stone steps on homebaked but then hurtle down hully gully. as with every sport, they think because they jumped over a ramp when they were 24 means they can still do it when they get back on a bike at 40.

    I find paper maps a bit of a faff when riding but you can get 25,000 sq km of 1:50000 OS mapping for a tenner through the memory map store, which is very good 😀

    no need to apologise smell-it, i have a real hatred for crimes against property i.e theft, vandalism etc, people have worked and saved for those items and to think people can just come and take them with fear of punishment really annoys me.

    smell-it

    why shouldn’t that story make me angry? it’s local to me and they guy, in my eyes, has walked free to do it again.

    and cynic-al

    my mate got 180 hrs community service from the same court for falling to report he reveresed into a bollard that he didn’t know he had done. so theft of property is the same as a driving offence?

    we all moan about bike thefts rising and this approach is one of the reasons.

    should be sent to jail for 12 weeks simple as, if he says who he sold it to then he gets a suspended sentence, police also get somebody for handling stolen goods.

    i don’t want to make rich people poor and i do agree with the comments about a fair slice of the pot but the private sector can do what they want with private money. I want a fair deal for my tax and there is a lot of waste, unions and people with a vested interest will say otherwise but it’s true.

    Steve i don’t read the mail and never will do but what is the fascination with how much executives get paid? smacks of jealousy and resentment.

    I go to work, get paid, feed the family. I don’t care what next door do or what they guy across the road does. I just get on with life.

    Really. find some waste then.

    I am dead serious – the NHS for example is very efficient. all public sector has been under huge pressure for efficiency for years. there is no way to make significant reductions in spending without making either significant reductions in saleries or in services

    rubbish, my mates sister is a ward sister, my exwife a community nurse, my girfriends sister and best friend are district nurses and a nurse practitioner and the stories they tell are amazing, best one so far is the local PCT are no longer accepting crutches back from patients for MRSA reasons, they just buy new? plus who says we shouldn’t reduce headcount on non essential positions? red tape has created thousands of jobs across all of the public sector, how about we reduce this?

    Maybe they need to use WPI or lean management principles for some tasks.

    i buy those airwave ones in bulk from CRC, there great 😀

    TJ you have taken what i said literally. we need to cut down the amount we spend and the headcount, unions jump on the bandwagon and say that cuts will effect services, well making something more efficent means our money works better for us. How much do we waste in the NHS, Education, Defence and Welfare? think of better ways of reducing this waste and we are on to a winner.

    The public sector wastes so much money that its criminal, this is what needs sorting.

    so it’s all the tories fault? if labour where in how would they sort this problem? the country is in a mess and it needs sorting. the public sector is far to big and needs a culling, I feel sorry for the original posters wife because a pay cut of 25% is a real kick in the teeth but we can’t blame anyone party. we need to get over the fact that rich people are rich, it doesn’t bother me, I provide what I can for my family and bring my kids up the best I can with what I have. I suppose we can all vote against austerity like the french and see what happens then.
