    Sorry for the silence Stealthy, at patterdale with school for a business thing...l :(
    The weather is really awful, and we are currently surrounded by water (it rains in the lake district) :lol: , so its unclear whether or not we will get back on friday.
    So I don't know yet whether or not I can make it - I'll send you a phone message on friday to confirm my presence/ blame school for a major let down... :):(

    Asuming all goes well, well meet at the lower barn at around 9:30, and we'll probably finish about 5pm (no lights needed).

    Room in the car too, as it'll be just us two (hopefully) from over manchester way.

    Hope you can make it - text me if you want updates...though I'll be in contact on friday.... :)

    I don't know where this Lower Barn is :(

    Get yourself onto Google Earth (zoom :roll: ) and look at Lever Park (between Rivi Pike, and the reservoir). The lower barn is on Rivington Lane, go past the little 'lever park' symbol with the tree (travelling north) and its that building on the left as the road bends slightly to the right.

    Sorry fotr the rubbish instructions :roll:

    Was thinking we'd meet at about 9:30 / 10:00, if you're riding there and back, don't forget some lights! :D

    Looks like its just us two Stealthy, plenty of room in the car - save you riding up there!

    Guilty as charged :lol:
    Lots of new stuff been built - kickers and drops, on badgers that look pretty good.
    I'll link you Nic's vid in a bit - so you can see the new stuff.

    Edale could work, but Jay might not want to travel that far, alone...

    Delamere is a good place to ride Jay - so we'll certainly take the trip down there to ride with you, and try badgers dh :D .

    I'll linky a vid to it in a bit for you. Still at college so I can't atm due to the rubbish computers.

    It looks really good though - about 2 minutes long (6 mins for us then :lol: ) and there are a fair few jumps / drops that have been built recently. Be good to find something to session and improve on - I need to get my drifts back in check - I've practiced front wheel slides often enough now. :roll: :lol:
