Many thanks to all for a superb weekend, really enjoyed meeting you all and putting faces to names and refreshing old aquaintances, the knitting needles has to be the best comment just because of the images it conjours up…well done john.
What about tinned tomatoes on the scale of manliness?

Excellent photos. How about the video clips?

Another item for the list of manliness criteria:
5. Going up Whin Rigg wearing just a t-shirt, when all your southern nancy companions are dolled up in every layer they possess, and steadfastly refusing to admit that you’re f*ckin freezing too.

Back down to earth…lots of good photos Dave, and as a group they are really stunning. I sat here thinking ‘why didn’t I see that?’
As for the profiles, I’d like to see time vs altitude, as that will show our rate of progress if you have that.

Cheers

Can I add to the list:
4. Eating bread crusts also a pre-requisite for manliness!

Well, freshly delivered to your nose. Apologies to those not from the same blood line!
