Don't know if anyone would be up for this, but in the Jan/Feb cross-over week i'm going to be up in the lakes celebrating my birthday. Was hoping I could meet up with a few of the local members one evening, want to see airey's sexy beast in the flesh if nothing else. Would also be epic if a local fancies showing me round some of the choice bits of road too...
Any takers?
Thursday 2nd Feb, 7:30pm onwards, starting at the Kirkstone Pass Inn:

Heh heh, just about  We do a lot of walking, would rather be able to walk straight out of the door and into the mountains. Plus means we're isolated, not so many people to bother with our bad habits...
