    With the new diet I've been on I'm now running sub 12st. Never been under that since 16year old. Can't get enough of climbing now (and can run a lot more of the ups).

    Happy to be out with Linda more, but I was on my 2 hr limit for running before the body shuts down or falls over.

    Cycling tomorrow probably in the rain but who cares.

We were looking over to the ridge on the south of the river and wondering if you could make a loop round. Is this what you do? If so, where do you drop down from the south ridge and cross the river to get up on to the north ridge.
    Geoff - I/we usually go over the South side first (although it doesn't matter) run along the ridge from Mabbin Crag towards Whinfell Beacon. You soon see the big radio mast just after the beacon and you need to head for that. When you get to the mast a bridleway cuts in from the South. You can follow this NNE down into the valley or head off piste to save a bit of plodding. When you get to the river head back west until you cross the bridge. You basically plough straight up the fellside along a fence line for a while and then aim to hit the top of the ridge when you then follow it West back to the main path that you desribe at the start.

    There are trods of varying obviousness for most of the way. Hope that makes sense otherwise happy to go for a recce sometime if you want?

    Cheers, sounds good. Will give you a shout if I'm heading that way. Fancy it as a headtorcher, but think it'll need a recce in the light!

    3 miles round the golf course... The comeback from injury begins....

    It must be a bloody tough golf course by the look of all the buggies and motorized golf bags on it!

    Yesterday - Parked at Kirkstone Pass. Straight up Red Screes and onto little Hart Crag (bumping into a forumite en route), then Dove Crag, Hart Crag and up to Fairfield. Same route then in reverse but descent along High Hartsop Dodd. 10 miles 3500 ft. Deep snow made tough going but bright sunshine, blue skies and excellent views eased the pain.

    Today - usual 6 mile route over Scout Scar. Another stunning morning.
