Off up there for a run soon. What to expect? Anyone rode there over the last day or two?
8" of pretty well compacted snow on the footpaths. Will have a substantial layer of ice on there now.
Bugger. Guisburn will be covered as well wont it? 🙁
about to pop up there tomorrow early doors, let us know what it was like Hora please.

It was actually too warm on the top with the sun. I had to take my coat off. Roads = Icey. Trails = snowy but very grippy.
Just to add- it was 4/5degrees I reckon on the tops and looking at the forecast it should warm up further over the next two days? In the bottom by the reservoir as confirmed by the car temp- it was -1degrees.
cheers hora
hope it's like that in't mornin.
need to work my Chribo dinner and ale/wine/Whiskey off
I'm 'supposed' to be up Rivi with a few others tomorrow.
But we'll see..
Our lot of breakaway Woollybacks's are meeting up at 10am at the bottom barn tomorrow if anyone's interested in tagging along.
Hora...when you said run i thought you meant RUN, did'nt think you were cycling
Rode Rivi last Sunday. The road beneath the Pike along past the dog kennels was a sheet of ice. Once we got eventually got along, went up onto the mast road then on to two lads, then down to the dog kennels (ace ride!). Then across the fields down on to the Rivi pathways, which were fine. We were planning to do either Horden stoops or San Merino, but thought better of it.
Not sure about Rivi this weekend. Delamere sounds like it might be a bit of a laugh.
Was skiing up there today - lovely conditions! reckon it would have been cool to ride also, however it has been raining for the last 4 hours, so the temperature has definitely risen quite a bit.
Could be much slippier tomorrow.

So you'd not recommend doing it on a bike like this?

no i don't recomend the belmont...in fear of making it worse
besides you can't of been going that qiuck if you've time to take a photo half way down 🙄
Didnt see one single application form to ride on my land from you lot. Bloody cheek!
You got the timing right for that ride Mark. Looks cracking.
They all thought they could get away with it whilst you were lounging on the couch full of turkey and ale. 😆
got your mail by the way Dave, let me see what the Mrs has planned and i'll get back to you about Monday.
Shite and almost unridable this morning.
