Cracking 80 mins on Pendle from Wellsprings side, through Ogden Clough and then followed Saturday's race route and then across to Scout memorial and back down to Howcroft brook. Steep climb up to trig nice and dry with plenty of grip - was very warm in the sun which is the forecast for this weekend.
Yesterday evening: approx 6 miles on high fells - Up Lightside, Dog rock, up James Thorn, down towards ashton clough and then back along the doctors gate path. Great evening for running and really enjoyed it - back just as it was getting dark
Today: Lovely day and am itching to get out. Thinking of a blast round the gravy 6 route later on before I travel over to the New Englandin the USA tommorow to look for a house
Had a nice run from Roddlesworth with Big Ken.
Over Great Hill and up Winter Hill. Back around Belmont reservoir.
Met a few Northern Vets afterwards and was introduced to Alan Heaton. A very interesting chap. Told us all about his Bob Grahams. The first one after Bob's original one. How he built it up to 60 peaks.
Missed out by a few minutes trying for 65 - could see the finish as he came down Skiddaw.
Very modest. His tussles with Joss Naylor sounded interesting and he was very complimentary about Erno.
I think his mates said Alan was 78 now - he wasn't telling!
Didn't get up to Chevin as planned - calf slightly tight earlier so just did 40 mins (5 miles) mostly off road from home instead plus the usual bike commute.
Today, from Gerlan up the ridge to Carnedd Dafydd, around the ridge to carnedd llewelyn and onto Yr Elen then down the ridge back to Gerlan. Nice horseshoe. Took 2 hrs, but could be a fair bit quicker, hard climb up.
8 miles up and around sunny Knowl Hill
Lunchtime, one mile splash in the pool.
Evening, 30 damp minutes on the turbo thing.
What am I doing on a running forum?
