Was It You?

[wheezing donkey]

Not me but could have been several hours earlier: I'm usually somewhere up in the Howgills on a Thursday. Did you do the Sedbergh three peaks on Tuesday 6th then? Have I encountered the WD without knowing who you were?

Never done any of the Howgill races HT, but it's a fabuluous range of hills to trot around, day or night. One of our favourite summer evening runs is to park by Howgill parish church ( Chapel Beck ) and run a circuit of Birk Haw, Swarth Greaves, Bram Rigg, Bram Rigg Top, The Calf, White Fell Head, White Fell then descend by Castley and Gateside farms and hopefully get 'buzzed' by the notorious 'Howgill buzzard'

Lots of runners out and about in Kettlewell today with the majority being women and most clutching maps. Reccying perhaps?

I'm impressed if you have a WI fell running sorority. My mother used to make jam.

It was most likely all of us from the FRA nav course based at the youth hostel

A ha! That makes sense. Good course, I did the one at Elterwater some years back. Pity I don't practise it enough though, I should go back and do it again to refresh my memory.

There were a few doing the course again this time and they found it just as good as first time. I can't praise the organisers and instructors enough, very patient and helpful throughout, paragons of how fellrunning should be.

Yes, totally agree. I really enjoyed the one I went on and the tutors were brilliant. Good at patching me up when I fell and cut my knee open too!

Guy doing a BG recce [I'd say], coming ACW off Ill Crag, red/white buff, grey dog with you. That was me heading CW to Ill Crag with the two girls dragging me along

Sounds like a good route. Chapel Beck's a great start to any excursion in to the Howgills.
