Run with Ricky - Wednesday 25th November 2015

A mad dash from Liverpool to Keswick to "Run with Ricky"....ok, so this needs some explaining. George Fishers have organised an evening run, led by Salomon sponsored runner, Ricky Lightfoot, the evening is also supported by Salomon and Pretzel :-) :-). So this means that we get to try out the latest Salomon running shoes and Pretzel headtorches.....more kit !

I choose the Salomon Speed Vario's (the Speedcross 3 has been replaced by the Speedcross Pro....a more technical and more expensive shoe, they have also introduced the Vario's, slightly lower spec and lower price, aimed at Park Run style running) but stick with my Petzl Nao.  About a dozen or so of us head off with Ricky, first through the woods and along the river, before gradually climbing to the summit of Latrigg and a fast descent back to town. It's a mild evening, dry but breezy on the summit. 

Then back at Fishers, flapjack and a goodie bag :-) A good evening, and then for a pint and a pizza in the Square Orange, plus some excellent life music. All sounds good, but could be so much better :-/
