    Cracking day out with Markmc,over Leg 2 in the sunshine today. Great to see all that snow has gone, you can actually run at last! :thumbup: Decent pace too 3:46 for the leg , but never felt we we're pushing it. I guess all those days slogging through the white stuff are paying off!

    ace day for me too
    picked up Leg 3 at Esk Hause, and did as far as Brandreth on Leg 4 before dropping down Sour Milk Gill to Borrowdale
    Lord's Rake was still choc-a with snow (so did Foxes Tarn instead) but mostly clear everywhere else
    hit/exceeded all splits without feeling like I was over-cooking it, so v.pleased :thumbup:

    Sounds like a good day out Bill. 3:46 is some going - I hope we will be a bit slower next weekend!

    Sounds like a good day out Daz, and all going to plan.:thumbup:

    Try and avoid last minute injuries or dodgy kebab choices

    Yes cracking day out Bill and as you said it never felt that we were pushing it at all, even into a strong head wind for much of the leg. Feeling good now and cannot wait untill the 17th May :thumbup:
