Winnat's is apparently open but it will only take one knob to get stuck and blow it for everyone else behind.  I am being driven out tomorrow by said knob so make sure you get there before us.  ;)

A couple of shots from last nights sessions in the field opposite the Norfolk Arms off Sheep Hill Road.





Lets hope this is the future of British winters.

May be free Tuesday Morn, and free on Wednesday, but only going out to find some fresh turns, can't be arsed going back to MT unless we get a shit load more snow.

(crappy vid of) Norton getting fresh today...

SamT contemplating whether todays drop in will be more trouser filling than his Winnats experience, see thread below (or above depending on which way you scroll).






A top day out and cheers for the lift back gents.

For Cofe and the other muppets, more stuff from 'Winnats' earlier in the week  :lol:

The original photo that caused the trouble -












the same descent and looking back up it, can you tell which bit of Winnats it is yet?







SamT hiking across the top of Great Gully to get to another great Winnats descent.  :lol: :lol:  :lol:




those were the days  :(
