Well day one.
It rained.......... Alot.
I managed too cover 183.3 miles door to door. It rained for 160ish of them. Hence only a few Pictures. Was great fun though, Mark and Arn made excellent company and did fantastically on the seriously slippery terain the dales had laid out for us. We managed 7 of the 13 lanes planned. The rest would have been impassable due too the horendous weather.
Few pics.

Top bloke

Thanks again chaps , good to see you all again .

Ps if Jon says it's flat and sandy he really means steep and rocky
Pps Steve don't forget to let me know when your in kielder I'll try and make it .

Cheers Mark

Hi chaps, really glad that I made this one.
Had a pleasant night camping at the Hollingworth camp site. Tried to find Mark in Shaw to no avail so had to go back to my tent and drink my whiskey by myself!
Tent behaved superbly, shame I missed Arn, always have a good banter with that one.
The lads came to see me Sunday morn', they set off to do a few trails and I came home to unload all the camping gear and just take enough to make tea and a few tools. Note the flattened down panniers, try and do that with your ally boxes!. I met Jon and Mark at Compos cafe in Holmfirth and we had some lunch then we went off to do a few trails. Quite adequate for me and no injuries to either myself or the bike. Really enjoyed Jons choice of routes and we had a tea stop later on.
A really good time was had by me at least, we'll have to do it again.
Arn, get a decent tent and some wet protection!
Only got a couple of pics, will try and post later.
