What is that in my boot?
Richard and I spent Sunday running the Long Mynd Valleys Race - a 12 mile fell race with a whopping 4500 feet of climb...
A perfect day for an excercise.....
Back in the 1970s when we were just starting to climb ice, snowy weekends were spent scouring the Peak District for frozen streams and waterfalls to practice our skills...
I decided to avoid the Lake District as it was bound to be busy and needed to be fairly local in case I got called out.....
I remember going to the cinema when I was about 7 years old; whatever was on there was always a massive queue. In the end we were pleased just to get a seat. All of those cinema goers from my childhood turned up at Great End on Saturday............
You've got to grab the opportunity when it arises, so Jon and I took a day off work and headed up to Great End to enjoy some of the fantastic conditions.
After too much whisky the night before (on my part), Andy, Sabiene, Anna and I headed west for a short round of a couple of Wainwrights that Sabiene wanted to tick off.
A day on the eastern fells getting blasted by freezing Russian air....
