NWA: Macclesfield Forest - 31/01/10

[Woody]

I got sent home from work last night while i was on my night shift , my M2 was carving new tracks in the powdery snow ! good fun at 4.30am !
What time are you setting off on saturday mr drystone?

 

[drystonepaul]

I'm reckoning on setting off about 10:30 - 11:00am ish. Whatever is good for whoever wants to join us though.
At the moment I think it'll be Woody, Stally and myself.
I'll see if a couple of my other mates fancy it too.

 

[Stally]

Cool,

I managed to get to the top of the Forest on Sunday, Flying down the fire roads in 6" powder snow was more like skiing than riding a bike

 

[drystonepaul]

Unfortunately I won't be riding tomorrow afterall. I've been suffering with a very tenacious cold all week and my girlfriend says she kill me if I'm found dead in a snowdrift.

If any of you guys want to go on ahead with the recce and get some pictures I'd really appreciate it.
Stally you know the route don't you?
I could meet you at the Leather's afterwards with a hot flask of something.

Otherwise I'll probably give it a crack either in the next week or at the weekend.

:roll: :roll: :roll:


Get better soon Paul, just seen the Cat and Fiddle on the news, think you've made the right choice.

 

[Woody]

Hope you feel better soon Paul , I'm gonna go round the forest but only for an hour or two, or until my feet can't take anymore of the cold!

another time is probably a good idea, get well soon Paul.

Woody if your up for a small one give me a shout.

 

[Woody]

If the big freeze continues this is what we'll be installed for ! Hard work in places but well worth the effort !

 

[orange71]

wonder if it'll still be there in 3 weeks? :roll: Hope so

 

[Stally]

We've just got back, loads of fun but hard work.

The snow drift at the top of Standingstone was over the fence. I'll upload some pics later, there is possibly a video.
