Shap Slog

This has been by far our hardest day in the saddle. Lots of climbing, awesome downhills and a traverse over Shap Fells that nearly broke all three of us. The conditions were horrendous and we had to push our way across bogs at times up to our knees in wet mud. Going downhill wasn't much easier and we can honestly say this was the toughest riding we have ever experienced. We eventually dragged our sorry saddles in Kirby Stephen at 8pm this evening..........wet, muddy and very, very tired. Hopefully it should be a better day tomorrow!? This is a quick blog as even typing is tiring....good night!

  1. Hi Guys - hope things have improved and that you're getting a better return for your efforts. BTW - the weather's been quite nice recently in the sunny South East! Rs & BWs, Dave the Drummer.
