cheers, thought i remembered a marshal at top of the stair climb on ingle b saying something about a spring near by when i ran 3 p's this year
Whernside and Blea Moor Trig from Ribblehead
10 or 11 miles and about 2,300 ft
Ribblehead by the food van --> 3 peaks fell race route straight up the side of Whernside --> Whernside trig --> reverse of Whernside fell race route north along the ridge, past Whernside Tarns and down to the Craven Way track --> fellsman route along the track to the wrecked barn and then totally off piste down and up to the trig on Blea Moor --> finally a completely trackless line from there back to Ribblehead
Route here
An absolutely fabulous run in humid and overcast weather. And at long last things are getting muddy and swampy again
Cracking photo, very atmospheric, your dog in the foreground makes the picture even better
Helvellyn from Glenridding
Maybe 8 miles and 2,800 ft
Route here
And like virtually every other bleeding time I've gone up Helvellyn it included the usual full on pissing rain and stupidly strong winds on the tops. Still it was a great run out with my intrepid my sidekick Harry in tow. To tell you the truth we didn't run a great deal going up - Striding Edge with a bonkers dog in the team requires at least one of us to be sensible - and he didn't run or walk the first bit of the descent down onto Swirrel Edge at all, digging his doggy heels in and letting me instead carry him fireman style.... while walking down steep rain slick rocks in my now gripless fell shoes! Anyway apart from getting truly soaked to the skin, we both survived to tell the tale.
Sure weren't many people about; we passed two at the hole in the wall just before Striding Edge, met two wind blown walkers by the wind shelter on top (who were amazed by mine and Harry's minimalist attire) and a couple more asking for directions up Swirrel Edge (I kind of told them to follow the track until it disappears and then scramble up the rocks, veering a bit to the right and then a bit to the left when they near the top). One day I'll go up there on a clear sunny day I'm sure!

Leeds 10K weekend before last
In a moment of stupidity I ended up ordering a £29.99 download of pictures taken by Marathon Photos following the Leeds 10K race. Given that I'll probably never view the pictures ever again I thought the least I could do is share one of them with you all! Enjoy
Jeeesus, do I look boss eyed enough and has the photographer just about got the damnedest of profiles to show off my sticky out ears and bent nose at their very best!!!!

And you parted with hard cash for it! How many pics did you get for that sort of brass??
Well I thought it highlighted a rather handsome pair of legs actually
and anyway, note what a pro you look in comparison to your i pod donning fellow runner!
there's always a silver lining Stollster! anyway, you a road race? i thought that was just me?
:w00t:
trouble is I haven't got a 50 inch laptop screen to view it!
