1:27:20hr up and around Chew Res, Wimberry & Alphin....Blustery and raining heavily, mucky/slippery underfoot....Great stuff :)
Nice easy half an hour on the fells early on.
Treated the family to a walk up around Attamire for a few hours in the afternoon. Bit wet and windy!:eek:
Steppingley Step, 26 very muddy miles over the towering Bedfordshire hills! Really well organised LDWA event, food at all checkpoints and a hot meal at the end, £6 a bargain. Friendly crowd of walkers / runners, I will be back next year again.
Only an 8 mile walk today - Littondale - from Halton Gill over Horsehead Moor to Yockenthwaite along Dales Way path to Beckermonds then back up and over Eller Carr Moss to HG. Cold, windy, rain, sleet, snow & hail - wonderful:D
The only downside was that the Queens Arms in Litton closed at 3pm:(
2 hours 22 mins
From Hadfield, round the resers and up to Crowdon Camp Site. Crowdon Horseshoe Fell race, but obviously this race wasn't on today as its the wrong time of year. It was wet, muddy and sticky on the whole. The return from thr trig was hard going even though its all down hill due to the wind. I had to stop and put the hood up on my Inov-8 jacket. Never had that out before. Back to Crowdon camp site and across the the Longdendale Trail. Back to hadfield vis the resers. Loved it. A few die hard walkers out on Black Hill area. Must be mad!
a chilly chug (7ish) along stanage from hathersage, ver slow after burley bridge yest.
good post Andi. There were a few walkers out today over the Roaches At least I think they were There was certainly lots of bundles of Red Goretex and fleece.:DQuote:

10 miles with my eldest sprog around Gisburn Forest - lovely but very cold and wet for the last 4 miles.
Actually yesterday's training now. 10.5mi 3000ft figure 8 over Pendle with Bean Counter.
Out of Barley, up main footpath to Pendle. Where you hit the bottom of the steps and they go right, carried straight on to come up directly opposite the trig. Carried straight on again until we hit Ogden Clough, and took the path to the left. Crossed first stile in the fence on right and headed off in a NNW direction to the monument.
Took Mearley Clough route down through Little Mearley Wood, then followed various tracks/paths back to Pendle road. Turned right onto road, then c50yds on our right was the stile at the bottom of the Downham path from the hill. Climbed up this, then to the trig again, and carried on to Gerinimo. Down to Ogden Clough and headed back to Barley, taking a concrete track up to a gate. Climbed this. Got to Buttock Farm (:D) then picked up the field route back into Barley (takes you above the water station - brings you out by the village hall.
About 2h25. Nice gentle pace.
Monday mornings!
4 miles up on to the moors on the track and back. Nice and fresh, cold and windy, great dawn light. Felt a lot better for it. Not a bad start to the week really!:)

A slow run after yesterdays Roaches.
It was Ken Jones(KK KD etc route instigator) 60th Birthday Run round the Edale Skyline.
He has done this for many years and it is a bit of Tradition.

Happy Birthday Ken

Gonna have to rest it between now and the Tour of Pendle on Saturday.

41:39min around the lower Chew...
9.5miles easy running round Totley/Blacka/Houndkirk and Burbage, nice and squelchy too
Steady run over Weets and looping back. 55 mins. Thought it was going to be cold but felt warm until a blast of wind at the top. Lost about a pound in phelm! Is it just me or does running in the dark feel faster than it is, thought I was going at a reasonable rate but the clock said no! You do loose time watching your footing I suppose. Finished off wi 15 mins of strength work.:)
40 breastroke lengths at a recovery pace to try and get the lactic acid out of my legs from Roaches....im stiff as a lamp-post (Just as Daz h said i would be:rolleyes:)
Breastroke for legs:confused:Quote:
