I'm back early having packed in at CP4.
I knew within half an hour of the start that my injured calf wasn't going to prove up to the challenge.
Going up the steeper section of Whernside, I couldn't put any power through my left leg at all, and sort of 'hopped' up to the ridge.
I didn't fancy repeating the experiment up Gragareth.

It was however great to take a small part in such an event and if I can shake off injuries will be back next year to have a proper go.

The wind chill is likely to cause some problems. Winds were quite strong on the tops and it was distinctly cold even back at Threshfield.

I bumped into several forumites at Ingleton en route, including Pilgrim, Stolly, JP (number 4), and Hes. Hope they're still going well.
