This morning a couple of us did the winter hill race route and unlike this years race it was very wet underfoot.....drought, not up winter hill.

90mins or so on Ilkley Moor this afternoon. Managed to avoid the worst of the rain but wet underfoot

Spent today eating cake, chocolate, pasties, and an imminent burger whilst dozing on the sofa. I call it "rest & recovery"

My preparation for the fellsman has somehow managed to have fallen on its feet and peaked nicely in the (slightly convoluted week) of 31st March to 6th April - 73.5 miles and 12,760 feet of climb from my garmin, including one 28 mile lap of the 3 peaks from Ingleton and another bog standard 22 miler from Horton. The 6th April was my eldest daughters birthday and she, for some inexcusable reason, hadn't been round the 3 peaks before so I forced her round as a birthday present. She did an okay time though of 5 hours 46. And she even convinced my other rugby playing daughter to run up Ingleborough from Horton and back (a good 10 or so miles) to meet us. The von Stolly family fell runners
Saturday up Beamsley and yesterday up Parsons Lane with a 4 minute effort, still no problem with the calf, so I am feeling good and glad to be back at it.
