Would be useful but depends if anyone can bring any, as unsure if we can source it enroute.

Sent out a rough idea of where we will go, just having to keep options open with this forecast :-bd

Not gonna make the 5pm rendezvous at the pub.
8 weeks since broken shoulder & dislocation, handling a loaded bike is hard enough, so the possibility of slippery snow added into the mix, is a step too far I think.
Catch you all next time.

Those of you out, have fun, stay safe.

Bet you're having a busy night Greg. You won't be getting a callout for the Yorkshire Winter Bivvy crowd (so that's me and Chew) - we made it as far as a pub in Bowes and are staying put for the night. Even the tracks over the moors are covered in ice and unrideable. Can't even walk on the roads and stay upright.

I have to say that we chickened out of this so plus lots of kudos to you and Chew for getting out. Probably just as well as Cath then developed a lurgy, which she still has, so she didn't get out yesterday either.
