Entered LDWA Afoot in two dales 50 early July with Stef. Ian Charters rated it (it’s a loop inc Swaledale, Wensleydale, Gt Shunner fell etc) but it not been put on for about 10 years. 2019 LDWA 100 is Hadrian’s Wall and a 50 is an entry requirement
Cheers Ian!
Good run out with the KCAC last night again
Bowderdale to The Calf to Gt Dummocks and back again. 12.03 miles, 2643 feet and 2 hrs 21 mins (managed 1 hrs 57 mins back in May - but without the dodgy ankle!). Still, I'm on the path to recovery and the ankle has held up well so far - fingers crossed.

Been a more steady week after the relatively big mileages of the last couple of weeks. Only two sessions done this week so far, with a total of 11 miles and 3400ft.
Working at a trade exhibition at the NEC tomorrow, and going down to the road relays to spectate/reserve on Saturday, so not sure how much more I'll get in this week, although hoping for a decent run approx 20 miles Sunday.
Thinking back to last weekend's retirement, I guess I ran badly. Went out hard, and it was no surprise that with a niggle in my knee, it was going to fall apart. But looking on the bright side, I still got a hard 30 miles under my belt, with 28 miles the weekend before at LM42.
In better news, I've been picked for the Warwickshire team at the inter-counties Fell. I'm under no illusions that Warwickshire is not big mountain country, and in a more prominent Fell racing county I'd be nowhere near selection. But they have some decent runners, some very good cross country runners, and often punch relatively highly for a lowland county. But it's the highest accolade I'm likely to ever achieve (unless I manage something good in ultra long distance terms at some point in the future), so I'm very pleased.
