Back home
Hi folks landed home about 30 minutes ago. Roads were great once I had left. I had some fun defrosting the tent and trying to get the ice off my brake disks and then getting the bike from the camp site up to the road but plain sailing from there on.
Had a fantastic weekend, terrifying, exhilerating, challenging and satisfying all in one hour! many thanks to everyone who picked me up again and again and then again several times over. Honestly I had not expected to go snowboarding on two wheels. MY idea of green laning is a clear tarmac lane with bits of green on either side......... Some white lines on the tarmac and some street lights would be ideal. I will post my pics on my blog in a day or two when I have cleaned the snow and dog shit off the tent and hung it over the bath. BTW Paul is a great guy but a bit of a sadist for dragging an aeging decrepit novice softy like me over a mountain top, thanks for lending me your bike to get down the hill. I owe you and many others big time. Glad to hear everyone got home safely I thought about you all as I wallowed in the bath at the B+B. GM |

Nice write up/pics
Must admit I dont feel too jealous about missing the rideout - I may just have fallen off more times than you ! . Looking at the pics of the tents in the snow and got spotted by someone at work actual quote "you lot must be bl**dy crazy" - I hope so Chizz |
Nice one Greenman, and I thought you were enjoying yourself!
Great write up, pity we didn't get more pics especially some of the 'off piste' antics but I think Debs has some.:funmeteryes: |
your write up certainly had me chuckling i had same idea about two sleeping bags and silk liner but i wasnt planning on camping in quite so cold temps but i suppose you never know well done now your all home safe a weekend to be proud off

well it seems getting from Yorkshire to London was the easy bit, the ride back up just took me nearly 10 hours, of which the last 42 miles (from leaving the M74) took over an hour and a half because of thick snow, building up to about 1-2 inches on the roads!! Luckily it seems I can ride on snowy roads better than on snowy trails, but still not much fun.

Glad you got back safely, Laura. Bring on the summer, eh?! :Beach:
