Lost a lot over the past few months in the pleasant but unispiriing wilds of Oxfordshire, need to be somewhere hillier and wilder to really get me and my expanding stomach out on the hill

A day-long deluge here has not so far motivated me to get out...
Another good/postitive run, 1hr or so in the Fife part of Pitmadden forest, even the grouchy Alsation couldnt ruin it. Excellent views of the Firth Of Tay and the highlands on a clear sunny and frosty day
Shaun

about 6 miles lots of road hills and a bruised knee, elbow and pride...
... ok it was so dark and the fog/snow combo so impenetrable i ran in to a wall at a corner in the road. just never saw it even with the head torch on...:o
45 minutes around Clifton Downs-Bristol, biggest challenge was avoiding the creepy blokes in rain macks :eek:
10.5 mile yesterday on the roads followed by a short 3.5 miler early this morning.
Yep - can get within a few feet of the trig point (on Yorks water land) - all of 150m above sea level!!Quote:

9 miles roads (boo!) West Sheff...Wish the lighter nights would hurry up...
9.4 miles up the Wessenden valley to Shiny Brook Clough in the snow & down the old PW and up Blakely Clough to Black Moss res, past Warcock Hill & down to Marsden. 1600 ft ascent and 1 hour 40 mins. Only saw two human foot prints the whole run.
5 an half miles before the snow started falling once again...
6 miles in the hills out back earlier on this evening, on the back of 6 yesterday evening and 6 more on Tuesday lunchtime :cool:.
I'm really getting in to this taking panorama pictures millarky - this ---> click here is Attermire and Warrendale Knotts at about 4:30 this afternoon in the snowy gloom. I was whizzing down the back of High Hill on the way to the cairn on top of the hill on the left :D
todays non training!
Just got in the car to go run up cutgate and along Howden to Swains head and down to Wood head summit. Snowing big wet flakes, thick fog and I've got to be up at 4.30 in the morning.....
So i bailed...I must be going soft.
8.6 mile around Woolton tonight in the rain
Lunchtime: reps of bounding, hopping, running backwards and trying to sprint in Kendal cemetery! (Well, the Techniques of Downhill Running book suggests such a session can help my downhill speed - and I need all the help I can get!)
Evening: torchlit run over Loughrigg with plenty of snow underfoot.
:-)
Short but sweet run up and down Badandun Hill in Angus, 5.5-6 miles 1420ft Ascent, lovely snow conditions making life easy today!
Trip to lakes was cancelled at 2.30 am!!Quote:

Conditions were tough with fresh deep snow covering all the usuall track/trods.
Didn't see any one until Edale Cross. vis was 5-10m for the first 2.5 hours not helped by the fact I lost the map! Mam tor ridge though was melting fast and well trod down.
1km reps next to the Edinburgh ski slope :eek:
