Two of the Three Peaks - Sunday 11th March 2018

A much better day. KA and I head over to Horton and catch the 10:20 one stop to Ribblehead. This makes a shorter recce of the Three Peaks route possible. We take the walkers path up Whernside, cruddy descent and then climb to a cool and breezy Ingleborough. Then it's just the 4 miles or so back to Horton. 14.5 miles, slighter longer than I had suggested !!!

Fell Foot Parkrun - Saturday 10th March 2018

A wet and gloomy day, ideal for a short, fast run. So head to Fell Foot for Parkrun. I run well, finish 2nd and beat my previous time by a whole second. 

Too wet later on for a ride, so hit the turbo for 30 mins, what fun.....not !

Training - Monday 5th March 2018

So I thow myself back into it, reps on the school playing fields; a cold night and firm ground.

Staveley Run - Sunday 4th March 2018

It was a late night and catch-up morning but time to try this running lark again. Actually, having not run for a week, it's flippin hard work. Head out from Staveley, Potter Tarn, Potter Fell, Brunt Knott and back to the village for tea and a hot cross bun :-)

Lighthouse Ride - Saturday 3rd March 2018

Up and out early today, flight to catch later on. It's breezy, no actually it's windy, v.windy. I decide to head out to the lighthouse again, the wind is unpredictable and, given the drops, a bit unnerving. But anyway I make it there and back ok, then time to shower, return bike, have lunch and chill before a see less journey home.
