Good trails and Gary thanks for leading. Don't worry about slowing me down. It was good to practice my slow control on the trails.
An, we had some fun but sadly on the ride home you missed one of the best river runs I have ever had. A truly heart stopping moment. A normal hard packed trail that had turned into a swollen river lasting approx half mile with no way of turning round and if you had stopped it would of been game over. Great stuff.

nice to see people enjoying themselves...and Phil get spme gortex long socks they really do work..
Got the gortex socks but unfortunately they where filling up from the top. Was tempted to cut a hole in the bottom to let the water out but somehow didn't think it was a god idea.
Not a good promomtion for the W2 boots especially as I was looking at a pair of the adv ones.
I'll email the hi-res versions of he photos over later.
Thanks for pictures.
Erm I seem to remember being on the same ride and wasn't wet!
