3.5 mile recovery run across the fields in Horsforth, cracking weather and first shirtless run of the year so far. Got followed by a herd of around 40 young bullocks in one field, I thought they would ignore me as they were all laid down near the stile, but the whole herd jumped up and stampeded across the field with me. Bit unnerving but an interesting experience, I usually bottle it tbh and jump a fence but decided to stick with it and see what happened. Think they were just curious.
Glad Chevin & Danefield are generally Chav-free!!
6 miles/1600ft - going well on the steeper climbs in particular:thumbup:
Also went down one step-descent neither myself nor 5 of my 6 clubmates I was with knew existed - after 14 years of running up there:o (to the west of the main steps and gradually zig-zagging down to the surfaced road just to the west of the White House).
I've used that before but as a climb rather than a descent (if I'm thinking of the right place)Quote:

22 miles around Wensleydale on Saturday, 6 miles in the Settle hills on Monday, 16 miles in a loop out of Kettlewell on Tuesday (Firth Fell, Buckden Pike and Great Whernside), 9 miles yesterday up and over Plover Hill and Pen y Ghent and today, this time with one of my daughters, a planned 7 or 8 mile loop From Stainforth up Smearsett Scar, through Wharfe and Oxenber woods followed by a climb up and over the limestone desolation of Moughton before plunging in Stainforth Foss for a 'cooling' swim after.
My weathered, outdoorsy sun burn is coming on a treat :)
Ran to work today with rucksack on full to bursting (in fact had to get my part time housemate to bring in a few last bits that wouldn't fit as we also work together :o Took her 3 times longer than me on the tram!).
Still just on the bike.
3 times up the track to chew valley res and back each day (1.9m 900ft x 3)
Sounds like it's the one - we agreed it would be more fun as a climb!!Quote:

Yesterdays recce not used due to short on time so just had a quick 3.5 mile road run into work this aft but tbh it was a bit too warm for me!. Should be a bit cooler for the return home at 10...
good little club run this evening, approx 6-7 miles. Few Roe deer bounding through the heather
