It looks like it will be the same ride i did with Glynn some time ago…great fun…i was on HT with only 100mm travel.
There is that awful hill from the gate that gets you toward the start of Spud Alley or The Beast…a true killer.
Would love to try a Fat bike…they just look cool and bonkers?!

oh yes!.............. this is my suggested route gaz but its your ride. if you prefer to do it different just say.
start at hope, roman road, then either beast, blackley hey (spud alley) or a cheeky through the woods near to beast (some call it narnia). rowlee, suicide brake, fairholmes, flagstone challenge, whinstone lee tor, then if we're doing the longer version, up to derwent edge to lost lad and back to derwent res. fairholmes cafe stop, up screaming mile, hagg farm switchbacks, up wooler knoll back down to hope.
if we're doing a shorter version from whinny lee tor we could take the track to cut throat bridge or the telegragh descent we did last time............what do you think?

I doubt it glynn. I actually sorted out my parents watch the girls tonight (gone to the cinema) so I could make it tomorrow.
However I've felt ropey for a while now and got worse over the weekend and since, felt really aches this morning and been on lemon sips.
If I feel fine I'm the morning I'll just set off and see how I get on but at the moment I'm wheezing going up and down the stairs. Normally I would jump at the chance of a guided tour of the peaks.
