I've got a montane featherlight Jez, it doesn't have a hood but is excellent for keeping the wind off. I've used it loads this winter

8 miles 1300' in local hills. Quite a few runners out today as usually I am on my own up there. A few looked to be recceing leg 5 of the Pennine Bridleway.
Nipped round the Cannock Chase Trig Point race this morning bringing weekends total to 37 mile 6500ft.
Good week: 100km+ (not much climb and not very adventurous mind), 4 separate running partners, Ashes series sewn up, 70% through my Lit review with 3+ weeks left and heart rate gradually dropping after Christmas/New Year.
Only bad points being my ceiling developing a leak and, at the moment, City trying to loose in the Cup. Hopefully the latter will change!
A cheeky 11, taking in Black Hill up the old PW and back home. Still plenty of snow and ice up top.
I agree Rob. It was very windy yesterday, but I didn't feel cold at all despite a very steady pace !
Nice mid afternoon trip - Greenfield, Plantation, Stable Stones Brow ascent, Chew Res, Duck Stones, Fox Stone and descent to Doves Res - watched the drama unfold as OMRT carried someone off the hill below Duck Stones - back home via Waterside Mill - great day out there, very icy from Stable Stones to Chew Res, hope the person being carried off was not too badly injured!
Great Hameldon Fell race route + a few hill reps 6 - 7ish miles 1100+ ft, very, very wet in places - lovely!
A very wet and cool 45 minutes on Ilkley Moor with a headtorch and cag for company.
Feel a lot better for it. :D
a wild night race in the Winter series. 6.70miles with 1300ft climbing, 48.40, not my best by a long shot but huge improvement on 2 weeks ago. Very wet and Windy
yep, probably the single most useful - and easily best-value - bit of kit I ownQuote:

Accidentally ran 5.1 miles on today's 4 miles lunchtime run :D
Not a bad mistake, and it will help with shifting some lard (especially as it hasn't left me any time to eat my lunch).
BMF last night and tonight ...
A nice four miles from Marsden Up the Dam wall & along the Wessenden Valley to the Deer Farm and back. First outing for the crimbo headtorch. Nice. Happy with 39 minutes.
Nice night outing through the Plantation from Greenfield, west ascent of Wimberry dropped down t'other side and back via Plantation - great night out there, not another soul to be seen in the valley - peaceful :)
heard you might be doing the Streak in the Peak, I was hoping to be there but I've entered a race. will hopefully pop by the pub on the way back :)Quote:

about 7 miles over't fells by Torchlight
Langsett, shooting cabin, Pike low, Cut gate, fingerpost, Langsett
All with my good friends from Penistone.
A few aged forumites crept out and let me join in the fun
It was good to see the ever Cheerful Ginger Whinge, along with Blue Bike, Straggler, 'Kin snail, ex Pennine Andy G and a fair few others.
Great run and a good pint of Landlord to finish it off
40 mins of cardio intervals on the exercise bike last night, then 60-min BMF sesh in the pish, then 20-min bike ride home
A thoroughly enjoyable 2 and a half hours on Kinder Scout.
A climb of William Clough and right turn to the top of Kinder. Down to the reservoir. Through the valley and then up Mount Famine and South Head. Back down again and climbed up to Edale Cross and up onto Kinder Low and back down to the car park.
Managed to avoid any rain and any fog lifted enough to make a it a good clear day.
Mid afternoon trip up and over Wimberry - fantastic to be out there :)
Enjoyed it last night Ian, was a fun night out....we went to the Huntsman, where did you go?
18m, 2,000ft round the North Downs - 2h50m
feeling good
4m 550ft local round Calderdale - 42mins
Legs and lungs are not in shape that brain and heart require.
70 mins in the gym including 23 mins bike, 15 mins x-trainer, 1000m row & plenty of fixed stations working arms, legs, abs etc. Calf is fine so planning on 15-20 min easy run tomorrow.
bloody aching now mind. Ouch.
4.5m steady last night, first run after being ill all week and felt comfortable. That'll do for me, bring on PECO tomorrow :)
Hope, loose hill, Mam tor, Grindslow to Ringing Rodger via up down and return via same route.
14.5 miles 5,780 feet. 3:45. Climbing was hard as not done much recently
Bit of a head torcher too as was out for bit over an hour in dark.
After yesterday's scouring by wind and water on Ingleborough, another soaking today on an 11 mile round of Simon's Seat from Storiths.
Enjoyed my Buffers sausage sandwich and pot of tea afterwards. :D
A tad under 9 miles up Cut Gate & Down towards Cranberry Clough and back, taking in North America. Saw one or two recceing. V Windy.
two days on bits of leg 1
probably 18 miles in total and close to 8,000ft
PECO XC - 5.2 miles 36min. 1200ft of climb apparently (I think the trees may have interfered with the readings somewhat)
17.5miles / c2500ft on Meon Valley Plod route in Hampshire with Stef. Heavy going in the mud :cool:
Nice one! Surely you deserve a pint after that! :thumbup:Quote:

including the run to and from the train station, 30.5km, 700m or so.
