flanker Aug 2018 3:30pm, 29 Aug 2018 17,827 posts	0 flanker NE, you have just described me - if you fancy a slow run out early Sunday I might be up for it. We'll be up at Burns Farm.
Northern Exile Aug 2018 4:24pm, 29 Aug 2018 4,763 posts	0 Northern Exile Well, if I can drag Bobs up there I was fancying something that involved Skiddaw. BGR leg 1? Or how about up to Lower Man, Skiddaw itself then back down the fence line and over Sale How before dropping down to Skiddaw House, then picking up the Cumbria Way and bobbing round the side of Lonscale Fell and onto Latrigg etc. Then again I might have trouble shifting Bobs far this weekend. We were in the Pyrennees over the weekend and got some serious climb in, she may not want to go far!!
flanker Aug 2018 12:15am, 30 Aug 2018 17,832 posts	0 flanker Bobs must have recovered from her bad knee then. That's good news. Not sure what I'll be up to after last weekend's 90 miles. Legs are definitely still tired today. Probably won't know until after (or mid-way through!) the race on Saturday, so wouldn't want to make firm plans until then. Either option sounds good though.
Rosehip Aug 2018 6:10am, 30 Aug 2018 10,868 posts	0 Rosehip Off-road tandem? Is that new news? I may also be at Burns farm - haven't booked anywhere though and plans for the weekend are very fluid. - and if I don't get off my and walk the dog, I'll not be getting anywhere v fast
Garfield Aug 2018 7:46am, 30 Aug 2018 9,253 posts	0 Garfield Yes, off-road tandem sounds intriguing...will be interesting to hear more.:)
Velociraptor Aug 2018 9:53am, 30 Aug 2018 39,002 posts	0 Velociraptor The off-road tandem and the Lake District will not intersect unless we get a little misplaced, and it won't be coming home with us.
Rosehip Aug 2018 10:41am, 30 Aug 2018 10,871 posts	0 Rosehip This time :). Have fun!
Velociraptor Aug 2018 10:44am, 30 Aug 2018 39,003 posts	0 Velociraptor No, ever. Unless eL Bee! has been secretly cooking up a plan with JD Tandems, in which case he won't be coming home either
Northern Exile Aug 2018 11:02am, 30 Aug 2018 4,764 posts	0 Northern Exile Bobs' knee is much better thanks. I wouldn't say she's 100% fit yet, but I don't expect that will stop her. She's talking about doing the Yorkshireman full next weekend, so it can't be that bad.

Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
