Talk about another short notice gig Rolling Eyes

Probably a bit late for me to make it now Laughing

Thats where I went a few weeks ago with the paj lot. I did most of it in 2wd.

Are you doing/did you do the 'steps' at bamford uphill?

Did the steps at Banford down hill Wink

)

What a great day was had - The fox house, down Houndkirk road, across to redmires to go over the top of stanidge, matski was the only one who dared do the whole length, myself siweb and gary820 all decided that the potential for damage far outweighed the risks, saying that we all managed to get half way down the face before chickening out Wink

(obviously the only reason matski went down is because 4 discos went down before us, and he wasn't going to loose face Razz

) - Getting back up after turning was interesting though. From stanidge, across new road to the back of Bamford, then down a nice little ?!?!? decent to the anglers rest in bamford (this being the bamford steps by the sound of it) for a little refreshment, then onto two other tracks, one by shatton - which had a nice little play area half way along - also the humor of watching a paraglider nearly land on top of a pile of troopers -, and another track just the other side of the A57 towards dungwoth (yes these are all peak district places!!!), which was a nice little jaunt to end the day.

7 hours in all, and much much fun.

Thanks matski for suggesting, and hope all the photo's end up on the web soon, and hope you and gary820 managed to find the M1 ok.
