8 miles 1800ft, 1hr 25mins in the rain up to withins pub via some very boggy bits of the calderdale way. The minute I got home the sun came out.......
gentle 4 mile recovery run, bumped in to a couple of park rangers I know so stopped for a chat. stunning sunshine after this mornings rain
A day when it was well worth getting chores out the way in the morning - drove up to Ilkley Old Road between Ilk & Add'm then c12 miles 1500ft in 2hr 5 mins - Dales Way into Add'm - Beamsley Beacon - a bit of exploring before getting back on main path to Round Hill- down to shooting hut-Middleton Moor-Middleton Woods - Ilkley riverside-Dales Way back to car - glorious afternoon and not a sole on the BB-RH section apart from one other runner about 100m ahead.
Not many fish up there, MT.
I cracked my first 10 mile run around John o' Gaunt's castle since Christmas without my calf going twang. All of a fortnight to prepare for Edale Skyline. I like a challenge.
That said I didn't check the Wharfe for fish either, although we'd all be gobsmacked to find sole in the Wharfe around Ilkley!!!:DQuote:

Rivington again for me today. 10.5 miles and 1,500' up and over past the mast to loop back round to the top barn. Blowy on the top but dry. New PB today; managed to make a humbug last for 5 miles!
Starbotton-Arncliffe-Kettlewell-Gt Whernside-Kettlewell-Arncliffe-Starbotton, 15ml / 5500ft with Stef. Beautiful day for running! :cool:
Recovery run of 4.5 miles yesterday after the mashing of my legs in the hobble, feel good today though!
Post-Hobble 3300 feet up & down Frodsham Hill 17 times. It felt easier than I thought it would, but that's not saying much. MInd you the Hobble didn't trash me as badly as the South Shropshire Circular LDWA event the other week - that was seriously gnarly. First time this year in shorts & sweatband instead of tracksters & buff. The sky was blue, the birds were singing. Spring's nearly here! (except for viewers in Scotland).
