Grimpeurs du Sud

[Aunt Maud]

@ Mad Jack

I've got three women and a smelly Labrador that require my services across the other side of the North Sea, so I fly out on Monday and H&M 'll have to wait till next time, but the JSM and Primrose Path look likely.

@ Martin
I stop at 100 ish, that's enough for me I think. Although I do want one of they cloth GdS badges and a GdS SR.

Anyways that other bloke has got a 2.75AAA 50km DIY, how am I supposed to compete with that in Jutland.....I mean really!

But first there's an icy looking Willy Warmer to navigate and if Sundays fine I'll head for the Sussex Bergs again.

Well done , no offence ment melady Parker has been put back in the 1960's box and will have to keep quiet!

How very dare you! 
Tried to get some of the mtbers along - some just don't do those distances due to time/family/pets etc... 99.9 % sure one of them will be at home in the warm with his feet up drinking tea doing something very important so it may be just me and JD!   

[Aunt Maud]

How about The Sea Lovers perm....... is that in or out ?

(Makes note that the 100km events can be upgraded to 200s by the magic of ECE).

I am still toying with the idea of running a 200.  All depends on whether I can muster up the enthusiasm to run a second event, given I've got a (non-AAA) 300 pending approval and the hilly 200s run in recent summers have had a weak turnout.

[Martin]

Oi why aren't you out on Ashdown Forest? 

the jury is out on that one, it does almost no climbing in the South East, but it does start from there which was the idea of the series so I suppose it's allowed (as is LEL!)

[Aunt Maud]

Oi why aren't you out on Ashdown Forest? 

'Coz I'm freezing my ©ø©k off in The North instead.

ok, must have misread your AAA Milne entry

indeed; might have to ECE MJJSM for my RRTY if next weekend gets snowed off....

[Aunt Maud]

I'll ride it next week, possibly Thursday.

Can't leave the date blank on the inter web form unfortunately.

[Martin]

good point 

Down to Downs for me tomorrow (the original GdS perm) hopefully Meridian next weekend will make my GdS x9

[Aunt Maud]

Enjoy.

Down to Downs is one of my favourites. I've got a card for the Meridian Hills too, but I'm waiting till I get some sunny weather so I can see the views.

I think Billy and I are doing something flattish on Sunday next, not sure what though.

[hillbilly]

I know Martin has said "s'pose so".  And it's his award scheme.

But as a personal opinion.

It shouldn't (ditto LEL).

But then again, I am a purist about such things
