I had planned to do a recce of the Coniston fell race today, then I get an email from LH asking if I fancied a recce of Coniston fell race. Result! So we agree on a late start to avoid the Coniston 14 road race.
We start just after 11.30am. The initial climb up Mouldry Bank is steep and the long climb to Wetherlam interminable as usual. Then steady going to the Old Man. We took our time to recce the descent and got the best line I think I have ever done.
Don't ask as it will be a secret I take with me.
Or maybe buy me a pint and see.
