What!! You're doing ("done" by now hopefully) the 3 Peaks again

Hi DJ,
So you had a sunny time in the lakes you lucky thing! Did you do Fairfield yesterday? And have you returned home a fitter man or too much carrot cake???
Thought it was November on Whernside yesterday...no views up there... and freezing! But the ground was the driest I've seen it...nice and bouncy over the non existent boggy bits...fab!
Then... hot chocolate fudge cake in The Crown!!!

So was your latest 3 peaks do a race or was it for the fun of it?

Ate the last of me carrot cake after the Caw Fell Race and couldn't find any more in Coniston I was out running or walking everyday so I'm confident of getting revenge for Guisborough next time we meet

Didn't do Fairfield, (the reason is short but boring) but I did have a little adventure on it the previous Wednesday (see Race thread!) Might try and get to the Ossy Oiks thing depending on train times (I'm in Blackpool that day) and possibility of lifts. We shall see.

No not a race, mostly walking. A couple of the lads were doing 6 peaks (didn't fancy that at all!) so I did the 3p of their second outing! First time I haven't been out of breath up Ingleborough!
Revenge??? What is this...are we havin a DJ v MG day then? Oooh you must eat more carrot cake and drink lots of beer in the meantime...build up your strength! He he!

Oh yes and this time revenge SHALL be mine, mine I tell you - muwahaha! muwhahaha! muwahaha! muwhahaha!

Cake and bEER? That's the sort of coaching advice I like. but back in reality, doing my local club's 10k road/trail race on Wednesday, feel sort of obliged to really as it goes right past my front door. Must tell the brother to set Ben on a few of the runners ahead of me! There's a BBQ afterwards apparently

Ok well I'm gonna shave the beard off and then you won't recognise that it's me hoofing past you...a cunning plan I think!

Hi Merrylegs, I was in an apartment in Coniston at Thurston House http://www.jefferson99.freeserve.co.uk/

Would like to get over for Duddon even if I just do the itsy bitsy teensy weeny race. But there's no public transport in the valley which scuppers me unless I can persuade someone to go from Newcastle or to pick me up from a Rail Station somewhere.

When I go climbing there I always camp at Turner Hall Farm which is about 5 min walk from the Newfield Inn. It's a basic but very nice campsite. Wallabarrow Farm has a bunkhoose (Geordie accent coming through there!) http://www.wallabarrow.co.uk/

Cheers, Deejay, probably gonna camp at Turner Hall Farm, looked at that already. When you coming up, Saturday? May be able to pick you up from a rail station that day, we'll be up there on Friday. Where's the nearest station?

Hi Merrylegs

Would come up on Friday, probably take the day off. Could get train to Oxenholme/Windermere or a place called Foxfield which is on the coast at the bottom of the duddon valley
