Thanks for the welcomes. Working on my own a lot, this forum has been my lunchtime chat for a while now, and must be the best forum I've come across. Cheers.
Cold couple of hours on Bleaklow this afternoon and a half hour headtorcher in the local woods this evening. Quite a contrast in conditions today. Snowy, icy, and very low visibility up on Bleaklow. Cold but clear crisp and leafy in the woods. Saw a couple of runners out on the pennine way, very icy!
It's a great read isn't it Chris!! Welcome and good running!Quote:

Certainly felt like I had plenty more in the tank, 55 miles this I reckon. Not enough snow for the slow shoes yet.
Six miles up and around the Wessenden Valley. Still plenty of ice in places.
50mins from Burbage North, up to Higger Tor then past the sheep fold to head up to (via an experimental short cut) to Winyards Nick. Well, it all went wrong from there really. Winnie and I did some heather, moss, wood and boulder hopping to get to Toads Mouth rock. Sleet, biting winds and freezing feet made it a good trip out. I'm determined not to be last at Tigger Tor this year ;-). Re-think then it's up there to do it again on Thursday.
A nice (sh) long run over the moors last night.
15 miles of forests, beach and dunes. Chilly out, iced up vehicle tracks in the woods.
Oil painting sky at times which was nice
33min easy recovery run on Touchstone Trail with Winnie. Wet underfoot but not icy. Good run :-)
