Hey guys, welcome all back to college for another smashing semester.

I'm pretty sure Asho was on the water last time I did Rathdrum to The Meetings, so was Ali. And is the stretch on which Finch got hypothermia or was that clara vale?

Post by: Ley-Ley on January 20, 2010, 17:07:45
If it's the one that ends at the pub then that's it. I think it was Rathdrum to the meetings.
