I was a bit poorly this week...

I understand that a route was discussed for Monday 4th. What is the plan?

Daz assures us that there are some dry (ish) routes around Tod. Instead of the Wine press, which is always closed when we get back, Daz suggested either the Summit or a new location called the Red Lion!

Thoughts Daz?

The Summit could work although it was shut on the way back the other night. The [url= https://whatpub.com/pubs/ROB/416/red-lion-littleborough ]Red Lion[/url] might indeed be an alternative. Or we could do the Golden Lion again. Last time there was a DJ and free peanuts. Or the Shepherds Rest for a bit of variety.

The Red Lion is only a few yards from the wine press which makes it easy to get to.

Red Lion then?

What route? Piethorn should be reasonably dry apart from the Bobsleigh run down to the rugby club.

Let’s talk on Monday. Delamere is not far from me.
Duncan Smith also does a bit around Rivi which I join in on. Not done much in the last few weeks. Probably due to the on set of winter.

Let’s be brave and do the red lion. Think parking might be an issue so just find where you can.

I have a variation on the Mordor route that could work depending conditions.

Just to put this out there, should we consider moving the start time to 8pm rather than 8.15?

I'm good for 8oclock start we talked about this last week that an 8 o'clock start would be better for the MNPR

That depends if you've got small kids to pick up from their grandparents, feed and get to bed. I can't realistically get out of the house before 7:30. hence the 8:15 start.

Let stay at 8.15. It's going to get bloody confusing if we chop and change. If the weather plays ball then we might not need lights tonight 🙂

Can you mention the Christmas do? (I'll be at home watching Poldark whilst covered in my own bodily fluids. Again).

Could do with confirming numbers by Wednesday.

Will do. Dunno how many will be out though so think you may already have heard from the main people.

Who is coming out BTW other than those who've already declared? There's a supermoon tonight, and it's gonna be dry. Need you any other reason?
