Hill Reps on Winter Hill with Emmi this evening.
Never been to winter hill before, and never done hill reps before.
Knee felt reasonably fine, just a pain in my right inside ligament when going down hill.
Ive never worn just a vest before but i decided it was too humid to wear my helly so i gave Emmi the delight of seeing my auschwitz-arms and giving my ponies vest a run out.
On the bike home from Emmis, going though Avenham Park a group of not very hard looking lads and girls passed me and one right skinny runt shouted some abuse at me, why i do not know but i had a massive urge to turn round and go and re-arrange his face.
I am not one to go fight, especially when the odds are ten to one.... so i carried on and just let the images of battering the cocky shite stay in my head....bastard!

!thanks Al, Pinno. it wasn't too fast maybe BG pace or tad quicker but over rougher ground and with no previous knowledge of terrain. Once started I didn't really stop other than to check a map or take a picture.
Excellent hill days though
