England : West Yorkshire Forum WALK - Stoodley Pike from Hebden Bridge, now takes place Sun 7th Apr

[ColinJ]

Proper snow!

If conditions are not too bad here tomorrow, I might try doing the first part of the Stoodley Pike route just to see what it is like up there. If I do, I'll post some photos when I get back.

Meanwhile, I will ask a mod to change the date in the thread title.

 

[ColinJ]

Dear Mod ...

Would you please edit the thread title, replacing "Sat 23rd Mar" with "now takes place Sun 7th Apr"

And insert this text at the beginning of the first post - *** Due to bad weather, the walk has been postponed until Sunday, 7th April ***

Many thanks - ColinJ

 

[ColinJ]

Ta!

This is a combination of unfortunate circumcisions. I really want to come on this but firstly the weather postponed it until a date that ordinarily would have suited but then, with maximum disruption taking prominence, the day of our game V WHam has changed...to the Sunday! Yes, that Sunday so I'm hors de combat. Sorry.

 

[ColinJ]

It's a pity, Paul, but maybe you will be free for walk #2 which will be about a month later?

Just been sorting out some stuff and found my rucksack which made me think of this

I was going to wait until everyone was back at work tomorrow, since people seem to do most of their CycleChatting from work! (Well, it always seeme to go a lot quieter here during holidays ...)

But, yes, it is time to compile a new list. I've put everyone who hasn't confirmed the new date in the 'maybes'.

PS Apologies for the clash with Paris-Roubaix - I didn't check the racing calendar when setting the new date! Get those PVRs set up to record the race or catch the highlights on Eurosport in the evening.

Confirmed Stoodley Strollers:

• ColinJ
• potsy
• bicyclos
• bromptonfb

Maybes:

• Globalti
• Cubist
• Arch and Night Train

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but they will not be able to go into the cafe after the walk.

Post below if you want to come along.

Yeah I'm in.

 

[bicyclos]

Im still in for the walk and my new walking shoes are bedding in nicely. The blisters are healing now....

 

[Alun]

Sounds good Colin, I'll be on holiday in Spain though, so hopefully I'll catch you next time.

What time are you meeting Col? If I come over on the bike will it be possible to leave it secure at yours, and change from cycling to walking gear?

 

[SavageHoutkop]

Ooh.... sorry to hear you've been poorly. I can't make this weekend but put me down for a possible next time. (ponders how far she can walk with junior in a sling before getting fed up)

This would suit me too....I hate the thought of coming over in the car.

Nice when you have a car, still waiting to pick mine up, knowing my luck they will say Sunday
