Wansfell Pike

Tuesday 28th April 2015

A quick up and down Wansfell from Troutbeck this morning. Cold and breezy on the summit and fresh snow on the higher fell. Needed a few layers on unlike last week on Coniston Old Man in shorts and T shirt and sweating like a secret lover hiding in a wardrobe.

Kirkstone from the summit.

Reston Scar Twice

Quick run after work. Up and down Reston Scar twice. Not race route just what I fancied.

Coniston Old Man

Thursday 23rd April 2015

A day off and I feel like I just need to get a good climb in. Combined with just getting Strava on my phone. Coniston Old Man has a segment up the main path so I go for that. It is hot and I struggle to maintain a pace near the top. However the reward is good. I am alone on the summit. Stunning views.

Descend via race route but as usual I don't get the best line. Never the same way twice!

Ill Bell

Sunday 19th April 2015

A late decision to head up Kentmere and take advantage of the great weather. Up to top of Garburn and then along trods to meet the main path below Yoke. Good running apart from one monster bog!

Contour Yoke and on to Ill Bell. The wind is biting so I don't stay long. Back over Yoke summit and then reverse the race route back to the church. Great to be out. Didn't see anybody.

Blencathra

Thursday 16 April 2015

Great to finally get out in this good weather. Blencathra via Sharp Edge with MC. Surprisingly I have not been up this way before. Brilliant day.
