went up early for a blast round, blimey it was fresh!! katy from one planet said it was registering -5 at the centre so must have been lower up the top  it was a good run, hampered only by me loosing my garmin etrex somewhere between the top of the main climb and the raised boardwalk on the red.  ive got no pics this time as i was well gloved up and couldnt operate the phone with them on ;D no way were they coming off!! |

We left Wrexham at 10 and went over Offa's Dyke which was pretty good and not that slippery. Neil got some photos which will hopefully work their way onto here. I got 1 boring picture on my phone:  I thought I took a couple more but I guess my fingers weren't working properly. All our drinks had frozen up before we managed to get to any off road bits! It was really dusty up in the forest too. It was so cold we kept hearing bagpipes as well...  There was some good people dodging to be had towards the end - there was some kind of race on. One runner had decided to sit down for a rest in the middle of the MTB track just before the cafe which was nice of him. Cheers to Paul and Neil for the ride! |

Hopefuly someone will find it and hand it in to the center. Well worth dropping Katy a PM and letting her know you lost it just incase someone does.

did try blowing thistles picture up but that didnt work!!! That's a good idea - I could use all these wintry pictures for next years Christmas cards and use that Royal Mail print a stamp thing ;D Sorry the picture was small and rubbish. It's due to a combination of: * Camera being crap * Cameraman being crap at taking photos * Phone was still in plastic bag - I couldn't get it out without taking my gloves off! * I had trouble getting it off my phone - had to email it to myself and the biggest size I could send was 640x480. I've downloaded it properly now:  If you click the thumbnail it will bring up the bigger version - quality is just as bad as the first one! |
