So a quick catch up on the Big Girl awards.
Day 5 it goes to those that didn't do Fort Bill Downhill. Some people didn't like being honored with this prestigious award. Can you guess that was?
Day 6 - Old Man Blore. For failing to ride a lot of the rocky sections at Laggan.
Day 7 - Sweeney - walking a step section that even Swan rode.

The two of us with enough energy (and, some might say, balls) rode the Fort William World Cup DH course today. Just the two runs, with the first one just to scope the course out, and the second to have a decent crack at it, although we still had to have a few breaks to rest our sore arms. An amazing track, and definitely worth the £29 gondola charge.
With grey skies and strong winds 6 brave souls (or stupid ones) set off from The Nevis Inn with their bikes and headed for THE hill.
Going was rather tough with only small sections that were actually ridable but when it was it was one hell of a ride.
So, despite rain, wind, patches of snow and huge rocks everyone made it up an down without major incident.
2010 it was Snowden
2011 it was Ben Nevis
