Old Coach Road
After yesterdays trip with Ian and Brian, popped back up to the mine first thing this morning, as the sun was on Blencathra for a little photo shoot!, even got SWMBO up there before breakfast and opening the two gates
Met a Series 1 coming down as well - V Cool!

Spotted
Wife and daughter saw you coming out of Booths this afternoon, much excitement at their first solo spot.
Great pictures, not got the bottle to try it myself
just got back from doing the Altura mountain bike trail at whinlatter with the lad.
After the deluge last night it was a bit wet to put it mildly
bet Blencathra was a bit damp !

It was Ian, but according to SWMBO it was probably colder, although to be fair it wasn't even 8.30!
If you have a list of runs, wouldn't mind a Copy too.
Dave, much more fun in a group, great fun yesterday.
We must have seen yr Discovery in the car park, did you have a sticker on yours?

We were looking at driving down monday afternoon maybe to the Travelodge at Penrith to make a full day. Looking at U5001 (I think that is Tiberthwaite?) and others around there for a days worth. Joined the BMWX5 45e group

I drove it about 4 mths ago but before then was about 3 years ago. There was a section of a hundred yards or so of bad washout. Is it still like that or has any work been done? Great lane. Must do it again soon.With a few Mods.

There is still a badly washed out section on the decent heading towards Threlkeld, it is passable though without any problems Cheers Ian
