An hour around Woodhall Hills & Calverley woods etc. Glorious day here too, shame I went over on ankle just after half way round, hoping to be ok for IMFR tomorrow.

Brilliant weather today - ran up Grisedale -Dollywaggon - Helvellyn - Raise - Glenridding. Good conditions underfoot on compacted snow - not a breath of wind either. The picture is frozen Grisedale tarn - you can see someone has walked across to sign their name. They are either stupid/brave or very knowledgable

Well for a good laugh at my expense I will share my "creative navigation"

The blue line was the planned route and the red the actual. You will note I missed CP 5 completely which would in theory shorten my route/climb but I went "walkabout" after CP6 which made the difference For CP 5 the plan was to climb geronimo and head off half left at the top but the walls are in the way and I figured the race organiser would not want us climbing over walls so I carried on and ended up back on my route but having missed CP 5 completely!. Oh one other tip. When descending to CP 3 go down the right hand side of the wall !



ENJOY !!
