Snow and marshmalllows..

The snow is great in the Dales, myself and Paul embarked upon a 4 hour mtb ride and absolutely loved it for the first 3 hours until the lights started to go out due to lack of fuelling! One 500ml bottle of vimto cordial was strangely insufficient for the route we had selected..

Tired and desperate, we stopped in the middle of nowhere to find out if there was:

1. Room
2. Hot chocolate
3. Chocolate muffins

available at the inn..

Luckily the latter 2 were available and after we'd taken off the muddy shoes the 3 wise ( aka 2 stupid ) men hobbled in and refuelled..

There's only 1 thing worse than desperately needing a food stop.. it's getting going again, when wet, cold and especially when the start is downhill.. brrrr.....

We got back safe and neither of us had died which is always a plus.

Keep the badger at bay..
