15 k 200m decided on a steady run up Dukes drive to Back tor and back. lots of snow and ice with a clear sky above. Almost warm on the way out but when I turned around I realised I'd been running with the wind giving me 7.5k back into the biting NE-ly winds.
One of the clearest days I can remember for along time, as I approached Back tor I saw 2 walkers pouring over a map next to the Trig. Lovely day I said, yes they replied and then asked me where they were as They were lost!
Bad back, still can't run but 9k/335m walk with dog.
6.5 m and 850' mainly on road.
10 miles or so?
Crowden, wildboar clough, bleaklow head, some pointy stones, the descended to run back round the two reservoirs back to The car
Couple of hours over Beamsley Beacon and Round Hill. Got back in just right as it's snowing great big half crowns now
Today's training... Was a race! (kind of).
Did Charlie Leventon's Little Stretton to Stiperstones time trial with Paul Flinn as a pair. First time I've tried this (either the event or the pair thing) and it worked out well with ultimately q decent time for me. The important thing was that it got me out on a fabulous day with some great company.
There was about an inch or so of snow pretty evenly across the course and some water ice here and there too.
Lovely day though.
A nice ten and a bit from Langset blue gates car park, up cut gate, down past the quarries then up Cranberry clough to Cranberry Ness, then straight up between High stones and Wilferry, along to Margery Hill & back to the car park. Around 2100 feet up and down and -10 on the car thermometer when we set off!
Warts race with Dark Peak, was going quite well until i put my foot through some ice up to my knee and continued over it.ouch!
struggled abit to get going and then did exactly the same thing again! had a nice battle with Glen B but he pulled away on the last leg(scuse the pun)
oops and thanks for the beer afterwards Glen...:thumbup:Quote:
