After this cup of tea we are off to chase the goose that escaped early week, spotted her in a field. Unfortunately she can fly a little!
How long will you hang her for before eating?Originally Posted by molehill
Visibility good except in Hill Fog
Caught her, I was ace.
The old bitch isn't for eating, she will be off to market as soon as possible, nothing but a troublemaker.
The 8 goslings are lined up for Christmas - but first keep them alive for 8 months!
Slow bike ride to Swithland Wood with my wife. Managed to lose her in the woods. Found her a few minutes later. With her complete absence of any sense of direction, she would make an excellent fell runner.
Today's PDE was a bit of a duathlon. A 13 mile and 1200 feet bike ride and a 7 mile run.

10.16 miles, 3,465 feet, 2 hours 45 minutes, Wansfell ridge, back over Red Screes from the Kirkstone Inn. Six people on the fells in total. The Kirkstone car park is closed, but there were 4 cars parked on the road. Perfect day for it.
same as yesterday but with an additional up and down section at Hoghton Bottoms.
9.10 miles, 1070ft, 3:06
Included an interesting 10 minute natter with the gamekeeper for Hoghton Tower and Alum Scar Estates. Nice guy, and kept out distance of course
Lots of "traffic today". Felt a little awkward at times.

Canal was almost as busy this morning as it would be on any normal weekend.
Interestingly i saw no boats at all...!
I think if you're choosing to go out exercising, you're accepting that the ability to completely keep your distance from other people is somewhat taken out of your own hands.
I know today running miles down a canal towpath which is never more than about 1.5 metres wide, it's completely impossible to keep 2mtrs apart... Just got to make do, and i probably passed at least 20 other runners/cyclists/walkers, and we all just got on with it.
I understand if you're on an open fell/hill, it's probably a little easier.
Nice 20k with better half.

Cracking morning and good to be out.
