Intermediate course 4th March

Paula and Dave were both pretty good but "wheels on the ground" intermediates at the start of the day so our first scheduled stop for the day was the skate park for some step ups, jumps and wheelie drops in nice controlled conditions to ease them into the idea of reduced points of ground contact. We then hit the trails at the wettest and greasiest I think I've seen them for ages. The cafe in Heptonstall had the bin bags ready for us to sit on at lunchtime for our "chilli nachos for 3" before we pushed on for the rougher stuff. The endos for tight corners were entertaining in the minimal grip conditions but by the end of the day both had got their dose of air and a desire to get lots more of it in future!
