With winds of 50mph on Kinder, the challenge was to stay upright – spectacular views from the plateau of the downfall blowing up into the air. Early thoughts of putting into practice last week’s instruction were soon abandoned as FSS and I battled the elements to find the controls. Having bagged three from six I managed to navigate solo back to the warmth of the organiser’s campervan for a nice cup of tea, leaving FSS to capture the last three. Unfortunately (for those still on the course) my ‘bail out’ coincided with the heaviest rain of the day and no visibility on the tops. FSS managed one from three of the remaining controls, getting to within half a mile of the furthest before turning back, unable to stand.
I was out for about 3.5hours and covered 8.67 miles! Different! How did you Roadies get on, what were conditions like in our own backyard?
