Springtime Running in the Yorkshire Dales, Part Deux


Well with more blizzarding overnight, tomorrow's Edale Skyline Fell Race has, not entirely unexpectedly, been cancelled. A bit of a shame as it would have been an epic outing but, at the same time, probably not completely free from extreme risk (insert ironic smiley here). For sure the weather is fantastic if you like running in the hills and pitting yourself against the elements - fortunately me and the boy Hazzer do and we felt obliged to go out for another run in the hills above Settle this morning. This time Lambert Lane was wall to wall snow - at one point where it was waste deep for about 100 yards all I could do was use the dry stone wall to lever my way along and make headway!
