Yes, thanks Gary and Colin, had to wait a while, watch a few locals laugh and wave, but the biggest insult was the guy that turned up, took the 2 from Cumbria that were with us, then when I asked him if he'd come back, he just replied, oh someone will be along later. That's after we'd walked for an hour and Andrew couldn't walk any further because of the blisters on his feet.
For Gary and Colin

Look on the bright side Brian.
You could've been on Longknowe with the rest of us sheltering under hang gliders waiting for the showers to pass. Then after 4 hours of hiding, watch the wind sock steadily drift to a SW with clearing skies.

Ah well!
Next weekend brolly buddies?

Handle every stressful situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it,
Just pee on it and walk away.

How did we get on in the BPCC..( or what ever its called)..Delighted to hear Crossfell turned up the goods.
A few of us were on Bewaldeth on Sunday...
A great day.Strongish wind and Pumping thermals. No great XC distances to report, but loads of Air Time...Fun .......and ...
