15m/3525ft worth of hill reps, beautiful sunny day, one of them good to be alive days:)
about 22 miles, about 2,000ft
glorious glorious day
An hour around Woodhall Hills & Calverley woods etc. Glorious day here too, shame I went over on ankle just after half way round, hoping to be ok for IMFR tomorrow.
Brilliant weather today - ran up Grisedale -Dollywaggon - Helvellyn - Raise - Glenridding. Good conditions underfoot on compacted snow - not a breath of wind either. The picture is frozen Grisedale tarn - you can see someone has walked across to sign their name. They are either stupid/brave or very knowledgable :eek:
15 miles including 4260' of climb. The Pendle Cloughs course with a bit of "creative navigation" thrown in :( Loads of people out running on Pendle today probably doing a bit of Half Tour reccieing ?
How was the trods etc Alf, im going P.C tomorrow!:)Quote:

Well for a good laugh at my expense I will share my "creative navigation" :rolleyes:Quote:

Oh one other tip. When descending to CP 3 go down the right hand side of the wall !

parked up in nant peris (old llanberis).started with a slog up Elidir Fawr followed by Foel Goch and Y Garn.dunno how far but was out for 3 hours.Plenty of climbing in deep snow though ! The side ways sleet was fun to.
Friday 19th. Roswaite to Esk Pike, Crinkles, Cold Pike, Pike O and New Dungeon. Harrisons, thurnacar, High Raise and down to Roswaite. Superb conditions, cold, blue skies and good snow.day of dreams!!
7.6 miles, still on the road unfortunately but the snow is back and the skies were clearing for the last few miles. The hills in the West were still under a shroud of cloud though...
