  1. Renton’s autobiography is just out.
  2. Meh, it’s not that bad. This bloke does the whole thing in reverse!
  3. Also, if the weather’s a bit iffy but you fancy scaring the bejabbers out of the kids/Mrs. G, have a drive over the Hardknott Pass to Eskdale. There’s a decent pub in Boot for lunch, and the drive back will scare the shite out of them again! Win all round
  4. The walk up to Stickle Tarn, which is the lake at the bottom of Jacks Rake, and then go round the right of the cliff to the top. Easy walk, nice lake to plodge in if it’s warm enough, amazing views over Langdale to the south and towards Scafell to the west. Come back via Harrison Sickle The red route Alternatively, you can go up Whitegill Ravine and then across to Stickle Tarn. Depending on time and how everyone feels, you can then follow the red route up and around, or go back down to the pub from the tarn. Heres a pic from Whitegill, and a description https://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=33149.0
  5. He’s only saying that because there’ll have been a seagull 3 miles away.
  6. Tell ‘em the Tik Tok views will be unreal, they’ll be up it like a rat up a drainpipe
  7. What age are your kids Gloomy? There’s a fantastic scramble in Langdale called Jacks Rake which crosses the cliff ( Pavey Ark) above Stickle Tarn. You don’t need any special gear, just decent boots and a head for heights. Take your time, enjoy the views, and your kids will have an unforgettable day. Also, starts and finishes at the Dungeon Ghyll car park, so a pint afterwards is well earned. https://www.ukscrambles.com/lake-district-scrambles/jacks-rake/?utm_content=cmp-true Its the red line on here. Dead easy to follow as you’re in a natural trough/ledge all the way edit; if you zoom in to the top people on this pic, they’re on the hardest bit- a chock stone which is jammed in the trough. You can either go straight over it, or nip out left a few feet and climb past it. Don’t bother if it’s wet though.
  8. Then he/she wants sacking, or at the very least, a good shoeing from Mr. Shearer for smearing shit on his good name.
  9. Shearer letting the side down here, numerous times. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/65156009
  10. Imagine the shithousery masterclass we’d see from Murphy if we drew the Morlocks in the cup next year.
  11. Bloke sounds like an Arab/Portugese/whatever version of the hypemen at the Hoppings, trying to part the charvas from their dole.
  12. Not a chance. I like seeing Eddie’s brief smirk whenever he’s asked about this whopper’s comments. Rent free, and he knows it
