Ta muchly 46R aka Di - long time away from the Lakes; brought back many memories.
And thanx to EMDEE for joining me on the ride-out (even tho I didn't understand a word you said!).
Over the Honnister Pass, detour thru the slate mines (see pic), by Buttermere and Crummock Water, up Lorton Vale and a cuppa (ta,ED) at the Whinlatter Pass visitor centre; return via the Newlands Valley and the exhilarating 1 in 4 ride down to Buttermere, and back over the Honnister Pass to base. It don't get better than this
The only sour note was that I managed to trap a nerve in my shoulder. Still, HFG to the rescue with a massage:- (the qwack says the resultant bruising should subside after a couple of days).
And people (u know who), do not rely on SatNav, - u will NOT arrive at your destination. Just buy a decent map, and read the directions!
But wot a larf we did hav!
And a few!

Btw,,,the toothbrush and cup are in the barn kitchen if you want to go back for them - just take another 30 of us with you though, so we can have a repeat performance !!!
A huge massive thanks to all the campers who made the weekend so fabulous and a special ta to BJ and Paul for being so certifiable as to have the capacity to invent the monkey olympics !!! Absolute genius!! hahaha

A quick thanks to Matt too - cos without his work, none of us would ever have crossed paths,,,when will we see you at one of the events Matt?? lol
