Having woken up to an absolutely beautiful sunny morning and knowing that I would be close to one of my favorite rides while on a spot of business I checked the weather app to find that the forecast was favourable until this evening ...so a quick call to Graham to see if he was interested ( he was ) and arrangements were made to meet up early afternoon to do a Bolts Law there and back from Edmundbyers...
I should say at this stage that my good lady who does a cracking homemade curry ..decided to have her first attempt at a Thai Green Curry last night and had been a little over zealous in terms of its strength..making things slightly windy shall we say ...
The route we were taking is basically a climb up to the top of Bolts Law and a terrific blast back ...it wasn't too long into the ride that I began to feel uncomfortable ...by the 3/4 hour mark my discomfort was so intense that I knew I had to get off the hill pretty damn quick a decision easily made by the worsening weather..with big fat snowflakes and visibility getting gloomier by the minute
I managed to find a public loo not a moment too soon at the Derwent Reservoir visitor centre ...
We then went for a pint to celebrate our respective birthday's ..which spookily fall on the same day ( 26th) ...
Short but sweet but still worth doing..and the right decision as although now back home there are still big fat juicy snowflakes falling ...
A few pics
Why thank you sir ....
