Sadly he will have disappeared to the north by the time I get to Castleton tomorrow!Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-73734898510878915552011-06-25T21:48:19.965+01:002011-06-25T21:48:19.965+01:00You didn't bump into Jack (http://lejogjack.wo...You didn't bump into Jack (http://lejogjack.wordpress.com/2011/06/21/day-31/) on your travels, did you?

Have a good one. The forecast looks like a day to take lots of water!Tony Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587011681927202159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-81010049440447274932011-06-25T16:45:19.872+01:002011-06-25T16:45:19.872+01:00Thanks Tony

There was nothing particularly steep on the bike ride.<br />I'll be doing the Mam Tor Classic - 33km from Castleton - tomorrow with a friend who has just got into MTBing - 9.30 if you're interested.Phreerunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08551842487502221703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-670908392024479748.post-42950708705976487532011-06-25T09:41:20.935+01:002011-06-25T09:41:20.935+01:00I was cycling round there myself only a couple of ...I was cycling round there myself only a couple of weekends ago. The tracks along the top and bottom of Baslow Edge are very good and the pull up the track from Baslow to Wellington's monument is 'to die for' :)<br /><br />That boulder is called the Eaglestone and all the routes up it are stupidly hard except for the one laughably known as the descent route, which is just quite hard.Tony Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587011681927202159noreply@blogger.com
