3 Peaks 2 April

[Stolly]

It didn't rain when I did it today (as I set off so late and missed it) but I got soaked because I fell up to my bosom in a river by mistaking what was probably a dead sheep for a rock and using it as a stepping stone (or something like that). I'd dried out by the time I reached the top of Whernside thanks to the howling gales!

Its very muddy coming off of Ingleborough and it is exceedingly boggy coming from Penyghent. Good fun though!

Truly brilliant Hes . You'd have been more than up to your bosom in that beck this time (almost to the day) last year:

Up t'neck int beck.

[Rob Furness]

Up t'neck int beck.

...bloomin' 'eck!

Reminds me of a joke:
Milkman calls at Cleopatra's house and she asks for fifty pints of milk. 'Pasturised?' asks the milkman.
Cleo replies 'Up to my bosom will be fine'

[Stolly]

Can everybody stop saying the word 'bosom'

I go away for five minutes for a toasted teacake and I come back to bosoms everywhere!

The river I fell in was on the boggy stretch of the walkers route coming away from Pen y Ghent. It wasn't the big beck but a deep rivery bog thing. It was a tad chilly and a bit of a shock but very funny. Heart rate monitor survived the second wash in 24 hours at least this one wasn't in my machine.

Yeah good day out, I hope I didn't slow you down too much. Have a good race - might see you on the Calder Valley Round (16 miles/4000') on Good Friday (22/4). I will post something in the next week or so. One or two did a double last year as BGR training so it's worth thinking about :w00t:
