    Re: Tour de Helvellyn

    The weather forecast is still pretty grim:

    http://www.mwis.org.uk/ld.php?fdate=121222

    I especially like the bit saying "Walking or any mobility very difficult from fairly low levels upwards in morning"
    I've not bothered to waste my time clicking on the MWIS link to see what it might say. However, it was so "grim" that I ran as far as Grisedale Tarn in shorts. I put my leggins on there, but I could have taken them off again in Patterdale if I could have been bothered to stop.

    I didn't notice any ferocious gusts and the wind speed possibly maxed out at 30 ish mph? "Mobility very difficult from fairly low levels"? Nope. OK, I was shuffling a bit after 28 miles.

    It was wet though, I'll have to admit that.

    So, glad I didn't die today, as the above wouldn't have made such a catchy epitaph...

    But it was a great day out in the hills. And Joe's special Carrot soup at the end was fantastic.
