Ludicrously EARLY train last Fri to meet up with Martin Rye
And then a BLOODY EXCELLENT 2 days split over 2 x Wild Camps with Martin
I am as busy as ***K at the moment, so I will write it up in detail over the next couple of weeks, IF I can remember anything.
In the Meantime, there are these photos ...
Yeah, Yeah.. maybe a few words.
Look, it's all a bit vague now.
I ain't gettin' any ****ing younger you know.
How did the knee do.
WELL, funny you should mention that.
BLOODY EXCELLENT
But it took 11 weeks not the 6 weeks they suggest to get better.
Well that is maybe because....
- It is the 2nd op on the same knee
- I is gettin' old init... And that is a BAD thing.. Age is a ***T
So back to the PLOT.
I had packed all my gear in the Gossamer Gear Mariposa, that I have now sold on.
No! It was great. I love it.
But I now have a Gorilla OK.
That link is the old one, the NEW one that Martin has is awesome.
So after a long drive and an early start (not in that order) with a short Butty and Caffeine Pit stop, we arrived in Keswick.
The weather was lookin' Goooood
A bimble into town for fluids and stuff and then off we were, up them hills.....
Now, as I say, since this was more than a week ago, I have forgotten everything about it apart from the good bits.
So, it will mainly be pictures, and maybe not even in sequence!!
And anyway, MARTIN wrote it all up
WITH VIDEO'S and Technology HERE
