Sadly it looks like the weather will prevent me from being there tomorrow :-( We are only 50 miles away but the Pennines are between us and the predicted storm looks set to disrupt high level routes. I shall wait to see what tomoorow brings but it doesn't look good. To console myself a little I looked up Steve singing one of my favourites of his Dad's songs -
Back 'in the day' we never let a bit of snow prevent us going anywhere. I recall one of my fellow club organisers, Dave Wynn, and I walking back from Whitefield to Swinton, along the closed to traffic M62, after watching Des Friel at the Eagle and Child. The difference between 32 and 72 is more than just 40 yoears :-D
