No mate, I have been away since Sunday and my wife is on late shift Sat & Sun, so I have small Mavic children to look after.

I will make it one weekend

there was no mention of breakfast anywhere and I mainly txt the lads who went to dalby red route, andyb not got your number lol..

But was saying to AndyBrad we'll have to set a proper date and do it all again..

I think, particularly for the lads who are worried about climbs etc. that cannock offers decent enough downhill (and it is mega decent) without the uphill's being *that* bad.. whereas dalby is just up and up and up and up.. and by the sounds of it clandegno (feck knows how you spell it in welsh) is quite gruelling but with downhills worth the slog. Hence us unfit lads/those worried about it being too hardcore cannock offers the best balance - and it's nicely located (2.5 hours from york, 1.5 from barnsley, 2 hours from brighouse etc.) it's not exactly an epic journey is it..

As Paul says......not a hard amount of climbs, certainly not anywhere near as bad as dalby. In fact, in total, only approx 12-14 milesdepending on whether bits are shut etc. Doddle! Lol

Paul the 6th · 10-05-12, 09:06 PM

worth sticking a date poll out maybe? or just organise it in here?

Drew Carey · 10-05-12, 09:09 PM

Can do.....we still doing this Saturday though?

Also, could camp at Cannock for a bit of a laff if we organise in advance.

Paul the 6th · 10-05-12, 09:10 PM

yeah definite mate, was meant to be in london but it fell through so decided I was gonna do cannock on my own at the very least

yeah that's exactly the thing with organising it properly, nick the greek can't camp this weekend but if we can sort it for future then beers, camp fire, bbq etc. at the end of it would make a solid quality weekend out of it

Paul the 6th · 10-05-12, 09:15 PM

which campsite would ya recommend drew?

Drew Carey · 10-05-12, 09:48 PM

Not got the foggyest pal.....but Im sure we can do some digging. Lets have a look this Saturday when we are there......the visitor centre will probably have some info.

Paul the 6th · 10-05-12, 09:52 PM
