Fab TR and pics there! What a day! I have to say when we reached the rake my bowels started to gripe a bit :-\ but I turned round to see AJ flossing his teeth??*?!! As always, when faced with terror AJ always has a way of bringing humour and calm to a situation. ;D O0 Top day with brilliant company as always. Great to meet some new peeps too. What a bunch! O0 I am sooo achy this morning and my knees are well bruised ( just like old days but instead of hills there was alcohol).
Thanks to Brandywell, AJ and of course Yeti for getting me through it!!! O0
- some interesting climbing techniques displayed yesterday - including the 'Amoeba' and the 'Worm' O0
Swampy, I'd check the watermark on that certificate ??? , well done.Cheers! didn't get chance to check, it's the pub who needs to now O0 ;D

As I was lying prostrate on this boulder next to a 400ft drop I froze as I heard him say;D ;D ;D ;D As if ::)
"I wish I had a figure like your's"
Anyway it turns out he wasn't talking to me this time, he was using this standard Barnsley chat-up line on Puppy, safe in the knowledge that dibble and DonnaNookie were round the other side of the mountain. ;D ;D
Notice he's actually still smiling at giving away a tenner.You'll do O0
Not a Yorkshireman I can safely say ;D .
Where do you and HL fancy doing next then?MAY be able to get a Saturday Striding Edge one together in Aug, leave it with me. Only thing is itll be full of ruddy tourists at a weekend :(

O0 What a fantastic day you had. Jack's Rake looked great and the views as good as ever. Great photo's. Can you do me a favour, give me names to the faces in the group shot at the tarn before going up, I got most along the journey of the photo's and the posts, however it would be helpful to the 'Fatboy' new guy to be able to know who's who. Well done again to all and thanks for sharing. :)
