Mountain biking (off road).
Dave has an incredibly diverse groups of mates; weirdo cavers, nutter motorcyclists, a few loony climbers, some computer geeks, and one or two semi-professional beer drinkers. Then realise that that makes Dave all of the above!
The gang (pictured by Laetitia above; Pete, Anna, Paul and Ian, accompanied by Kelda, Ian’s border collie) headed off to Longsledale for quite a long (16 mile) mountain bike ride this past weekend.
Only 5 minutes from home, and the map comes out for the first time. Probably why Pete told us the ride would take 2 hours. It might have done if we'd done the 2 hour route!
While we were all out following Pete somewhere in Kentmere, Steph settled down for a 6 hour stint in front of Pete's big screen.
Just how many punctures can you get on a mountain biking trip around Kentmere?
Great fun (and exercise) rushing around the forest getting dirty!
Ian decided to go for the sympathy vote by crashing over his handle bars.
A bit of rain today, so no climbing. But that didn’t stop play, oh no! Out came the bikes, and off for a round of Kentmere we went.
Its been open for five months and we’ve only just got round to a visit!
