I did get up and running again thankfully, just before Christmas, but couldn't then find the head space to update my blog.<br />
<br />
Anyway its a new year now and I've decided to stop this blog................... and start two new one's - <a href="http://stollyyorkshiredales.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stolly's Yorkshire Dales Running Year</a> and <a href="http://stollylakeland.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Stolly's Lakeland Running Year</a>. The Yorkshire Dale's blog already has a handful of runs clocked whilst the Lakes, at the time of writing, just has the one thus far.<br />
<br />
I've no idea whether 'running' two separate running blogs is a good idea or not. But, heck, here goes.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16804305835539823660noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6748965501054133536.post-46759511264001030652014-11-23T19:04:00.004+00:002014-11-23T19:10:46.545+00:00Blencathra - up Sharp Edge and down Hall's Fell<div style="text-align: justify;">
In terms of distance (about 5.5 miles) and runnability (running up Sharp Edge is a bit tricky to say the least) this little outing probably doesn't count for much but, as far as fantastic routes up and down a mountain go, it just doesn't get any better than this. Especially in today's pretty much perfect weather. A real humdinger!</div>

To be fair I've been head torching in the week day evenings for a few weeks now but, with the clocks changing last weekend, this past week has suddenly become full on proper head torch running season (and its likely to stay that way now until March next year). My weekday running is pretty much always done in the evening anyway, with the odd crack of dawner from time to time and, given that I don't get home usually until 6:15pm, head torching in the winter is obviously what its all about.... especially living in Horton-in-Ribblesdale where there aren't really any street lights to speak of.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So this past week's head torching was made up of a 5 miler over Whitber Hill with Harry from home on <a href="http://app.strava.com/activities/213242215" target="_blank">Monday</a> (while Hester was running up Ingleborough with Settle Harriers), almost 6 miles over Pen y Ghent with Harry on <a href="http://app.strava.com/activities/213242218" target="_blank">Tuesday</a>, 6 miles with Hester and Haz in Settle Hills via Cleatops wood on <a href="http://app.strava.com/activities/213242232" target="_blank">Wednesday</a>, another Whitber Hill 5 run with Haz on <a href="http://app.strava.com/activities/213986688" target="_blank">Thursday</a> and finally another 6 mile Pen y Ghenter with Hester and Haz on Friday (Halloween) followed by a swift pint in the Golden Lion just across the road from home. The added advantage of running straight after getting home from work on Halloween is that we managed to miss any trick or treaters in the process and were able to eat all of the sweeties ourselves while watching TV yesterday evening!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway a few pictures from our Halloween run up Pen y Ghent:</div>

Me and Hester (and Harry) absolutely love running around Thirlmere in the Lake District, especially in the autumn with all the tree colours and whatnot. The route is a nice and easy, if a bit rocky and tree rooty, 11 miles altogether to which, yesterday, we added small climbs up Great How and Launchy Gill to the Tottling Stone. Oh and afterwards it was off to Ambleside for a cuppa and sandwich at <a href="http://www.sheilascottage.co.uk/" target="_blank">Sheila's Cottage</a>. A jolly fine way to spend a Saturday.</div>

To be truthful I was feeling a bit knackered and battered this weekend so, yesterday, me and Haz ran a gentle 10 mile loop up Ingleborough from Austwick, going up via Norber and Nick Pot and back via Little Ingleborough and Gaping Gill. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And today me, Hester and Haz probably ran no more than 4 miles from Stainforth, looping up to Catrigg Force, Upper Winskill, back down towards Langcliffe before cutting back towards Stainforth via the <a href="http://www.cravenmuseum.org/archaeology/fact-sheets/the-hoffmann-kiln/" target="_blank">Hoffman Kiln</a> at the old Craven Lime Works. Oh and we then pottered down to Stainforth Foss to watch the salmon leaping. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
All in all a cracking weekend of not very much running then</div>

So last Saturday was 'Lakes in a Day' day and, having signed up for the inaugural running of this ultra distance event absolutely yonks ago, me, Hester and Gavin were kind of concerned immediately before the kick off, stood outside the Oddfellows Arms in Caldbeck, as to exactly how we'd get on - it felt (to me anyway) like the event had snuck up on us and that we hadn't given it nearly enough attention beforehand, leaving all our race research and gear getting togethering to the very last minute. Benjamin Franklin's line "if you fail to plan, you are planning to fail" seemed ominously appropriate at that point in time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That said the '48 mile' route (which actually turned out to be 51.2 miles the way we ran it) with 4,000 meters of ascent looked absolutely stunning in <a href="http://www.lakesinaday.co.uk/" target="_blank">the fly by on the Lakes in a Day web page</a>, with the race starting in Caldbeck at the very top of the Lake District and finishing in Cartmell at the very bottom, and completely splitting lakeland right down the middle in the process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
More to the point the route of the race didn't look like it took any prisoners or easy lines either, what with the first 11 miles hacking over High Pike and Blencathra and down the steep Hall's Fell ridge to Threlkeld for the first food station, the next 19 miles then going straight up Clough Head and fully along the Hellvellyn ridge line (going over the peaks of Great Dodd*, Raise, White Side, Helvellyn Little Man and Helvellyn in the process) to Grisedale Tarn before climbing up Fairfield and dropping down the eastward ridge of the Fairfield Horseshoe to Ambleside for the second food stop, <takes deep breath> with then just the small matter of a further 21 miles of slick, rocky and tree-rooty forest trails from there all the way down the length of Windermere and beyond to Cartmell. Just to add salt to the wound the last 14 miles of this final section for us was done in the dark.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
* The actual route didn't require us to go over the top of Great Dodd but we did go over the top on the day, never-the-less.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other fantastic thing about this race was that, in addition to all the runners carrying dibbers to ping at each food stop to confirm they'd been through, we were all carrying gps trackers too that could be followed on-line and, even better, projected on big screens at each food station and at the finish. Given that the navigation of the race was pretty tough too, especially in the woods after dark, it was great entertainment to look at the master screen and see just where all the runners were and where they were going. Most to be fair were bang on the line but some poor souls seemed scattered all over the shop. I can see the carrying of gps trackers really taking off with lots of races now, particularly the ultra distance events. I don't know how long this link will be open for but at the minute you can view the tracks of all runners <a href="http://www.lakesinaday.co.uk/tracking.php" target="_blank">here</a> (I'm runner 202).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway the race was brilliantly brilliant as it turns out. Tough as nails but brilliant. Hester, Gavin and I all ran together and we all had a good laugh on the way round too. Hester had a 'few' issues on the tricky descent down Hall's Fell but, other than that, we like to think we all did very well and finished relatively comfortably in 15 hours and 50 minutes. Putting that time in perspective, that put us just in the top half of the 150-ish race finishers and in the top third of the field, if you take into account that approximately 225 runners started. The winning time was 10 hours 37 minutes which nicely demonstrates just how tough the race route was - the winning time this year's The Lakeland 50, run in July, was by way of contrast 7 hours 48 minutes, almost 3 hours quicker! I'd say that the Lakeland 50, which Hester has run twice (her best time being 11:42), is a tough 50 mile trail race whilst Lakes in a Day is a tough 30 mile fell race immediately followed by a tough 20 mile trail race. A full on beast of an ultra race then.</div>

Me and Hester are already deffos for next year and I'm sure Gav will be too</div>

With <a href="http://www.lakesinaday.co.uk/" target="_blank">Lakes in a Day</a> coming up next weekend I'm sensibly (for once) deciding to take things easy this weekend so this morning me and Harry went for a nice and steady 9 mile trot over Plover Hill and Pen y Ghent from home. The weather was a bit drizzly which was great, making things nice and misty and muddy up top and allowing Harry to play his puddle splashing game for the first time in almost a month. A cracker.</div>

So today was the annual <a href="http://3peakscyclocross.org.uk/course-details/" target="_blank">3 Peaks Cyclo-Cross race</a> and me and Harry decided to run a loop from home, allowing us the see the race both as it came over the first peak Ingleborough and then later over the third peak of Pen y Ghent. We absolutely hammered up Ingleborough, having left Horton a tad late, but made it with 5 minutes to spare before the race leader (and eventual winner) Rob Jebb trotted into view (with his bike over his shoulder). We then trotted down the race route over and off the side of Simon Fell, passing all the completely nuts cycle-crossers coming up, all the way to Selside before taking the track from there to High Birkwith and then following the 3 Peaks walkers route back to Pen y Ghent. A fab 16 mile run that got really quite tough in the second half (especially on the back of yesterday's 18.4 miles) but was a jolly fine finish to what turned out to be <a href="http://app.strava.com/athletes/1739497" target="_blank">a 53 mile week</a></div>

A great run with Harry, Hester and Gavin yesterday around what Gavin and his local running chums call the Full Monty - an 18.5 mile undulating loop in the North York Moors starting out from Cold Kirby, near Sutton Bank, out and around Hawnby and then back. Although the North York Moors never go particularly high, the running over there is always fantastic with lots of gorgeous woodland and moorland trails and enough ups and downs into and out of little valleys to make for a fair whack of climb over the whole run come the finish - <a href="http://app.strava.com/activities/200108519" target="_blank">according to Strava it was 3,080 feet</a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So as to ensure we all pushed on and didn't take it easy at any stage, and without at all annoying Hester in any way what-so-ever (haha), I purposely announced at the foot of each and every hill that we came across that it was 'a runner' and that no walking was allowed, regardless of steepness. And yep, we ran 'em all.<br />
<br />
Hester by the way has a North York Moors inspired art exhibition called <a href="http://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/visiting/see-and-do/inspired-by-gallery/future/new-ground" target="_blank">New Ground</a> coming up at the <a href="http://www.northyorkmoors.org.uk/visiting/see-and-do/inspired-by-gallery" target="_blank">'Inspired By' gallery in Danby</a> in November so yesterday's run technically counted as inspiration soaking upping work for Hester too - she can offset the petrol cost on her tax return then.<br />

Just a fantastic 21 mile run out from Braithwaite yesterday with Gav, Hes and Haz, going over 13 tops , bumps and paps and basically visiting a good chunk of the north western fells of the Lake District in the process. Straight off the bat we headed up Grisedale Pike (791m), then onto Hopegill Head (770m) and the adjacent bump of Sand Hill (756m) before dropping down into Gasgale Gill and following that all the way down to the top of Crummock Water. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We then took route one (which we later christened the "twats' ascent") straight up the side of Mellbreak (512m) - this ascent turned out to be pretty much an hour of vertically hacking through heather, ferns, bilberry bushes, spongey moss, scree and rocky crags to travel about 600 meters in distance and 400 meters in ascent; the main path would have been so much easier for us to follow and, although it was about a mile longer in distance, it would have taken us 20 minutes tops to get to the summit! Harry it has to be said was a true soldier going up Mellbreak as, at his diddy height, the heather and ferns were nire on impassable, snagging him and blocking his path continually - it wasn't that easy for any of us to be honest and it was the first hill I've ever climbed where my arms ached (from pulling myself up by the heather branches) more at the top than my legs! We were also plastered in bilberry juice by the time we reached the summit too, as the super ripe berries burst as we passed them - they made for excellent snacking on the way up though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After Mellbreak we dropped down to the waterfall of Scale Force and then climbed the Buttermere version of Red Pike (755m) (not to be confused with the Wasdale version of Red Pike just 3 miles away), with glorious views of Crummock Water and Buttermere from Lingcombe Edge, a ridge edge that we followed for about half of the climb. Then it was straight down to Buttermere itself, visiting the pap of Dodd (641m) on the way. A brief stop in Buttermere village for a drink and a slab of millionaires shortbread and we were off again on the way back to Braithwaite. Our route back took us over Whiteless Breast (439m), Whiteless Pike (660m), Wandope (772m), Eel Crag (aka Crag Hill) (839m), Sail (773m), Outerside (568m) and Stile End (447m). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
21 and a bit miles with almost 10,000 feet of ascent. And then a pint of Jennings Cumberland in the Royal Oak in Braithwaite - the perfect finish to a perfect day</div>

So last week me and Hester were in the seaside resort of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoupa" target="_blank">Stoupa</a> in the Peloponnese region of Greece for a week of swimming, snorkelling, chilling (or should I say roasting?) in the sun, eating Tzatziki and quaffing ouzo. Stoupa is not all about beaches, gorgeous sea, tzatziki and ouzo though as that part of the Mani peninsular is also over-shadowed by the massive Taygetos Mountain range, where the tallest peak is mount Taygetos standing at an impressive 2,407 meters (almost 8,000 feet!) - thats another 1,000 meters taller than Ben Nevis then and, despite it being smack in the middle of the Mediterranean, Taygetos and many of its surrounding peaks manage to be snow covered from November usually well into May each year. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately we didn't have time for a trek to the top of Taygetos (thats for another day) but we did do a brilliant run up one (of the many) gorges that lead up into the Taygetos mountain range. We chose to catch the bus to Kardamili, four miles north of Stoupa, and then hack up Viros Gorge for about 5 miles before climbing to the picture postcard mountain villages of Chora and Exochori and then following a mountain ridge trail all the way back down to Kardamili.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The gorge itself was just beautiful although the boulders just got bigger and bigger as we progressed along it and, after about 3 miles, it became pretty unrunnable to be honest. Viros Gorge is as dry as a bone at this time of year but, apparently in the winter, it can be a raging torrent, what with all the snow melt and rain over the Taygetos mountains. On the way up the gorge Hester managed to find a tortoise that had fallen onto its back and was waving its little legs in the air trying to turn over - luckily we happened along, almost certainly saved its life and left it nicely in its shell the right way up. Talking of wildlife, near the village of Chora I happened upon a pretty big snake (about a meter in length which is plenty big enough for me) sunbathing on the trail but, as soon as it saw me, it shot off at a super impressive speed. I'm not completely sure what kind of snake it was but, by its looks, I'm fairly sure it was an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesculapian_snake" target="_blank">aesculapian snake</a> - no time to take a photo unfortunately.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway a cracking run Gromit. Incidentally they hold a 35 km mountain race each year from Kardamili, the Taygetos Challenge. It doesn't actually visit the high peaks due to the likelihood of snow but it still has an impressive total climb of something near to 2,407 meters, the total height of Taygetos itself. Its set for <a href="http://www.trailproject.gr/index.php/events/2015/taygetos-challenge-2015" target="_blank">23rd March</a> next year..... hmmmm.</div>

Bright and sparky (yeah right) on Sunday morning I hopped out of bed at 2:50 am, scoffed down a swift breakfast and then whizzed over to the Lake District to support Stuart on his Bob Graham Round attempt. I was navigating the third leg between Dunmail Raise and Wasdale for him along with support from Kev, Ryan and Paul. Sure enough, at about 5:30 am, Stuart trotted down the steep side of Seat Sandel, the last peak of the second leg and perhaps 28 miles and 12,000 ish feet of ascent into his BGR attempt - just 38 miles and 14,000 feet to go then! 10 minutes later we were off up the steep side of Steel Fell and on our way to Wasdale with something like 16 miles and 15 peaks making up the leg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was my third Bob Graham navigational support run of the year, having helped <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/my-runny-spring-bank-holiday-weekend.html" target="_blank">Janson in May on leg 4</a>, and <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/a-fell-running-miss-mash.html" target="_blank">Kev in June on leg 2</a>. Both Janson and Kevin had successfully completed their BGR's so it was important to keep "my" run going and get Stuart safely and swiftly (relatively speaking) around leg 3 and in good time to make sure he can do the whole lot within the required 24 hours.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have to say that the weather was perfect (but there again the weather is always "perfect" in the Lakes) and all in all we had a grand time scooting over Steel Fell, Calf Crag, Sergeant Man, High Raise, Thunacar Knott, Harrison Stickle, Pike O'Stickle, Rossett Pike, Bowfell, Esk Pike, Great End, Ill Crag, Broad Crag, Scafell Pike and Scafell before dropping down to Wasdale. Stuart was looking strong (most of the time) and picked up brilliantly towards the end of the leg. And fantastically went on the complete his round of 42 peaks and circa 66 miles in 23 hours and 27 minutes. Brilliant stuff Stuart!</div>

Yesterday me and Harry trotted round <a href="http://app.strava.com/activities/181115154" target="_blank">the 3 Peaks</a> for the third time this year, with us both having previously been round in "testing" weather with <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/02/the-3-peaks.html" target="_blank">Gav in February</a> and gorgeous weather with <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/the-3-peaks-of-yorkshire.html" target="_blank">Hester in May</a>. Come to think of it we all went over each of the 3 peaks as part of our ten peak <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/the-dales-skyline.html" target="_blank">Dales Skyline</a> run in June but, as that wasn't following the official loop, I'm not counting that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I usually try and go round at least four times each year so maybe another 3 peaker is due in November too.</div>

A grand romp around the Langdale Horseshoe yesterday (thats the horseshoe of ridges and hills surrounding the top of Great Langdale in the Lake District) with Hester and Hazster. Things started off a bit grim weatherwise but gradually the sun broke through and, by the time we were over Long Top about 2/3rds of the way round, everything turned out truly glorious. For the first time in weeks I was feeling properly 'runny' too and, although I'm probably tempting fate by saying it, it's really starting to feel like my running mojo is coming back!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We followed the route of the <a href="http://www.amblesideac.org.uk/Langdale_2014.htm" target="_blank">Langdale Horseshoe fell race</a>, a fantastically tough (and tricky) fell race which runs each October and yesterday our line around it was pretty damn good I'd say - well other than our taking a slow and rocky path off of Pike o'Blisco that is (which was absolutely Harry's fault as we were following him at the time as he seemed to know what he was doing).</div>

Last week, on Wednesday evening just two days before the kick off time of the Lakeland 100, me and Hester (and Harry of course) went for a five mile run around Malhamdale. Apart from being an absolutely gorgeous run, on a gorgeous evening, in stunningly gorgeous countryside, it was also an attempt on my part to "properly" run on my <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/the-gill-garth-gallop-and-my-achilles.html" target="_blank">'achilles of doom'</a>, including running up hills which, up until that point, had giving me particular gyp. During the run, although my achilles ached at times, everything was pretty much tickety-boo and I ran really quite well but, the following day (that's one day before the LL100) my achilles ached a lot, so much so that I was limping about for most of the day at work.<br />
<br />
Things were looking kind of ominous for the LL100 then.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So jump forward to a couple of minutes before 6pm on Friday, on an oppressively hot and humid evening in the Lake District (its always gorgeous weather in the Lakes <cough>), and I'm milling about on the start line of the LL100 in Coniston along with 305 other runners waiting for the off. My achilles is taped with blue rock tape so, if nothing else, I look really quite professional and damned stylish if I say so myself. The start of the Lakeland 100 is such a great, great moment in the running calendar, given the obvious stupidity of the enterprise (thinks: 'wtf am I doing here'), and was especially so this year with the start preceded by a loin girding solo rendition of Nessun Dorma. It was already a brilliant event, and I hadn't yet left the start line!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway so off we all went on what is actually a 105 mile lap of the Lake district, pretty much all run on rock and rubble strewn trails. And yep, straight off the bat on the very first incline out of Coniston, my achilles was aching. Uh-oh!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
#Jump forward again by four and a half hours to Wasdale, at the third checkpoint of the race and 19 miles in, and my achilles aching is long forgotten. Jeeezus, the heat has been unremitting and, even though its now 10:30 pm, its still really hot. I'm now sweating on full power and my running top and shorts are completely drenched. Me and <a href="http://www.brighton-house.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Lee-Evans-Live_100311212214695.jpg" target="_blank">Lee Evans</a> not only share sticky out ears and good looks but we also sweat. I mean really sweat. A lot.<br />
<br />
Er..., anyway enough about sweating; so I've reached Wasdale and, apart from overheating, I'm also feeling really sick and kind of woozy but fortunately the checkpoint, run by the Sunderland Strollers (with what seemed like a Woodstock themed checkpoint this year), had some fantastic soup (the flavour was Thai something-or-other) which pretty much saved my life at the time, helped me recharge my sweaty batteries and, thus feeling a bit better, off I trudged into the night. I'm only 20 miles in at this point though and suddenly I'm feeling the beginnings of a nagging ache in my quads, something that (this year's London Marathon aside) I never ever get after such a relatively short distance.<br />
<br />
#Jump forward to 3:30 am on Saturday morning, about 33 miles covered now with a really long and tough climb out of Buttermere nicely behind me, and I've reached the Braithwaite checkpoint. I'm feeling nauseous again and nearly gag trying to eat some of the pasta on offer. Never mind they have rice pudding available too and that goes down much more smoothly, along with a fantastic cup of tea. On leaving the checkpoint I actually feel chilled (for about 2 minutes in total) in the early morning air but as I start the long trot into Keswick I soon warm up again. My quads are now seriously creaking but its flat and runnable so I force them to get with the program and bash on<br />
<br />
#Now its 8am and I've been trucking for 14 hours and I've finally reached Dockray, with circa 48 miles done and dusted, after a wearisome trudge along the Old Coach Road (by 'road' read boulder strewn track). I'm really struggling to run now, especially over undulating broken ground, and the heat of the day is all to come. Its hot already anyway and I'm desperately hoping that the weather forecast for the day (of increasing cloud cover and perhaps a slightly cooling breeze) will kick in immediately. The butternut squash soup at Dockray goes down a treat though and I amble off. Instinctively though my legs just don't want to run, even though the next little bit is downhill and on a real road. I vow to carry on running when the very next runner over takes me and somehow manage too.<br />
<br />
#The first 'half' of the LL100 to Dalmain is supposed to be 55 miles in length and, given that Dockray is at the 48 mile point, you'd think that the distance of this final first half stage is 7 miles. Wrongo! Its 11 miles actually (with the 'halfway point' being 59 miles) and the last 4 miles to Dalmain prove a real chore for me. I was over heating quite badly about 2 miles short of Dalmain and had run out of water completely - these last two miles prove to be a killer and when I eventually reach Dalmain at just after 11am Saturday morning I'm feeling absolutely blasted by the heat. Fortunately Hester who is at Dalmain to run the "sprint" that is the Lakeland 50 (and which starts at 11:30) cheers me up with a couple of well needed hugs and cheery words of encouragement and, despite feeling really rough, I'm able to trudge on.<br />
<br />
And trudge it was. My quads are now totally shot and the heat is oppressive with no sign at all of the desperately needed cloud cover and 'cooling breeze'. I had eaten a fantastic cup of meat stew at Dalmain and my game plan at this point was for that to completely restore me, body and soul, heal my aching quads and for the sun to go in. If the stew could somehow achieve this I'd be fine....<br />
<br />
#Jump to the Howtown checkpoint at just before 2 pm and I've finally, finally reached it. Almost all of the LL50 runners have over taken me, including Hester whizzing along, as well as one or two LL100'ers and my ground speed has been set at 'slow sloth' for some time. The sun has been blazing pretty much all of the way since Dalmain and, although I have my buff on my head which I've been keeping wet by dipping it in streams along the way, I just can't cool down. I've now slightly worryingly stopped sweating which can't be a good sign. And there are still 40 miles to go......<br />
<br />
And I give in.<br />
<br />
The heat coupled with my shot quads convinces me that carrying on would become a seriously tedious slog and I just can't be arsed. I still have 20 hours available to complete the LL100 so conceivably I should be able to walk it out in good time but the thought of it has no appeal to me. And anyway the Howtown checkpoint is fantastic, run by two or three slightly mad ladies and its right beside Ullswater. The very first thing I do after a short rest here is pop down to the lake for a completely marvellous swim. Then it was back to the checkpoint for some serious lounging about, with the 'mad ladies' providing strawberries, peaches, cups of tea and later on some pizza. A 'losers' bus back to Coniston was due in around 6 pm but the checkpoint was so cheery, with other LL100'ers popping in and out every now and then, it was just great fun to chill out there. As it turns out most of the LL100'ers who visited the checkpoint while I was there, right up to about 5:30 in the afternoon, managed to finish........ so how wimpy am I?<br />
<br />
Epilog: What went wrong?<br />
<br />
1. Well firstly NOT my achilles. It ached for much of the first 30 miles and it hurt a lot two or three times when I tripped and jarred my left foot. But after 30 miles it was almost normal. In fact its almost like running the LL100 has cured it and this week I've been for several good runs, including a couple up Pen y Ghent, and have felt properly able to run for the first time since I injured the achilles in mid-June.<br />
<br />
2. The heat. Be able to sweat like Lee Evans is not an advantage in that kind of weather<br />
<br />
3. My quads. Inevitably on a run of that distance my quads would hurt after a while. I wasn't expecting them to feel knacked so soon though.<br />
<br />
4. My grit and determination. Okay I could have carried on and maybe finished before 10 am on Sunday morning. But heck I really enjoy running, and challenging running, don't get me wrong, but I don't want to smash myself into pulp just to complete one event at the expense of what might be the next two or three weeks of adventures out in the hills. So yeah, maybe I'm probably not focused and determined enough to finish one single event against such adversity. So sue me ☺︎<br />
<br />
5. My running fitness? I think my general level of fitness is pretty good, despite having my running interrupted in June with the achilles injury. Certainly I have recovered really quickly from this year's LL100 and have been out running in the hills all week since. Of course I could be fitter, and lighter but I felt okay at the start so I think I'm good to go with that.<br />
<br />
6. <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/cornish-coastalpath-ateering-plymouth.html" target="_blank">The Cornish coastpath</a>. Both me and Hester finished our 167 mile yomp 10 days before the LL100 and LL50 and I think that this was still in our legs and was our major problem. Hester again ran brilliantly in the LL50 this year finishing a minute or so over the 12 hour mark but her legs, and her quads in particular, have been completely obliterated all week since. She still has trouble bending her legs to sit down. Last year on the other hand Hester ran the LL50 half an hour quicker and then went on to pb two fell races in the week following it. That said I wouldn't change a thing - the Cornish coastpath-arooing was completely brilliant and, if it made the LL100 just a 'tad' harder, so be it.<br />
<br />
And the best single thing of the LL100 and LL50 weekend. The swim on Coniston Water with Hester on Sunday lunchtime. It was utterly sublime<br />

Following on from last year's fantastic coast path adventure, <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/bude-to-lands-end-coastalpath-arooing.html" target="_blank">running from Bude to Land's End</a> and covering all of the north side of the Cornwall, on Monday 7th July me, Hester and Harry set off from Plymouth aiming to get to Land's end within 9 or 10 days, following the southern coast line of Cornwall this time. As usual we were carrying all the kit that we needed and were backpacking our way along the route which we'd estimated to be around 160 miles or so.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year though, as things turned out, we didn't so much run the coastal path as yomp it - the weather was by and large fantastic (with a few days of solid blazing heat) making for hot and sweaty going, our packs were heavy (mine was 25 to 26 pounds in weight, depending on how much of Harry's biscuit supply I was carrying, Hester's was getting on for 20 pounds too with Harry's getting on for, oooh, 6 or 7 ounces) and in certain stretches the coast path was seriously overgrown making for tough going. I was also a bit concerned about <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/the-gill-garth-gallop-and-my-achilles.html" target="_blank">my achilles of doom</a> and wanted to take things steady (especially so what with the up and coming Lakeland 100 next Friday) and, more than anything, we wanted to make sure that Harry was okay too, running as he was in a thick fur coat. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So a yomp, rather than a run.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway things went brilliantly with bucketloads of beautiful Cornish coastline explored, hidden coves, stunning beaches, swimming, skinny dipping, cream teas, Cornish pasties, sweating (like feck), adder attacks, pirate themed pubs, tea shops, sand lizards and stretches of the Coastpath so over grown that they resembled the Malayan jungle at times. And finally on Tuesday 15th July at about 7pm we rocked up at Land's End and fully completed our Cornish coastline exploration (top and bottom). The final mileage of this southern expedition was 167 miles recorded (and 22,000 feet of ascent) with a good few miles largely spent trekking to and from the nearest pub for an evening meal left unrecorded (with the longest round trip to the pub being circa 5 miles with another coming in at 4).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the very last day though, perhaps just a mile or two from the finish, Harry was bitten by an adder - we didn't realise it at the time and he carried on trotting along fine right up to the finish. His back left paw though became very sore and he was clearly not very well that evening and overnight. We perhaps thought he'd knocked his paw or something but, on the following morning, his paw had swelled up and we immediately went straight to the local vets in Penzance. They were absolutely brilliant and immediately diagnosed that he'd been bitten by an adder and he was kept in at the vets all day for some much needed anti-venom treatment and antibiotics. A couple of days recovery and he's now fully back to his old self. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Snake attack - what a cracking addition to Harry's action adventurer CV!</div>

Never mind next weekend's Tour de France (de Yorkshire), yesterday me and the boy travelled to the Mallerstang valley between Hawes and Kirkby Stephen for a bit of new mountain exploring, a full tour of the Mallerstang skyline in fact...... Le Tour de Mallerstang. I've driven through Mallerstang loads of times and always, always Wild Boar Fell has looked magnificent, towering over you as you drive through. Its an imposing sight and made all the better by a handful of pepperpot like cairns that are dotted along the top, almost like little standing stones staring down at you. And every time I've driven past I've vowed that I have to flipping run up there. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That said running up and down one mountain can be a bit boring especially going up and down the same way and, with a bit on on-line research and map looking at-ing, me and Haz figured out a rough circular route of the whole valley - we planned to park at Aisgill Moor Cottages and then run Swarth Fell Pike, Wild Boar Fell and Little Fell in a northward line on the west side of the valley, drop down to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendragon_Castle" target="_blank">Pendragon Castle</a> (hopefully finding a path that went that way) and then hack a line straight up the open fell side to High Seat (the Yorkshire Dales High Seat that is, not to be confused with the shorter High Seat in the Lake District) on the eastern side and run the ridge back south via Gregory Chapel (or, as in the know hill walkers call it, Archy Styrigg). We had an added option of also visiting Hugh Seat on the way back but, by the time we'd reached the turn off for Hugh Seat, my knacked achilles was aching a bit and we decided on taking the straight line back. Perhaps we'll add Hugh Seat on next time?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As things turned out it was a cracking route, clocking in at a smudge over 13 miles with 3,199 feet of climb. We found an excellent path down to Pendragon Castle too but, as we very much expected, our route up High Seat was all over open fell side and included one pretty hairy (especially with Harry needing assistance) climb up a dried up waterfall. Anyway we survived and made it round okay. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another humdinger then!</div>

On Sunday we (that's me and the H's) went for a day trip to the Lakes, commencing with a brilliant 11 mile run from Coniston up Wetherlam, then along the ridge and up Swirl How, along the tops from there to The Old Man of Coniston before swerving sharp right and looping over Dow Crag and finally returning to Coniston following the Walna Scar Road. I took it nice and steady with <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/the-gill-garth-gallop-and-my-achilles.html" target="_blank">my dodgy achilles</a> but my achilles of doom held up pretty well all things considered. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After that it was a well deserved swimming (and bombing) session off of the jetty at the top of the lake and then we all had a pot of tea and sarnies (Harry had a hotdog) in the Bluebird Cafe at the Coniston Launch. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

All in all the perfect Lakeland day out.</div>

Last Wednesday night me and Hester drove 5 minutes up the road to Gill Garth farm near Selside to run a brand spanking new fell race, the <a href="http://www.settleharriers.org/GillGarthGallop.php" target="_blank">Gill Garth Gallop</a>. The farmer there approached Settle Harriers specifically to get this race up and running as a fund raiser for the local primary school in Horton and last week, on a stunning evening, about 50 fell runners turned up for the inaugural running of it. And what a route - up through a couple of meadows, over the two stiles at Allum Pot, a mile or two running parallel to the hills before a crunching climb up Park Fell, another testingly runnable climb onto Simon Fell and then a plummet down from there and a whiz back to Gill Garth for hot dogs, cake and tea/beer. A cracker and a half of a race</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hester ran a blinder, coming home as second lady, and I did okay too but not without twanging my left achilles and having to run the last mile or so from the foot of Simon Fell in a fair amount of agony. I was limping badly once I'd finished and, come Thursday, my limping was nothing short of pathetic - at that point I was fully expecting that amputation of my left foot was the only option and, in fact, it was so bad that I couldn't run at all that day and had no option but to break my running streak, which up until that point had been a run every day since 11th August 2011 (ffs!) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway come Friday my foot miraculously felt a bit better and I was able to go for a two mile river run of sorts with Hester (new running streak, day 1 ☺︎) and, by Saturday, I was fairly ambling along and was able to do a six miler over Moughton from home. That said, Moughton is so rocky on top that I had to take it very steady up there but, anyway, my ankle was on the mend and I was back running. I have absolutely no idea what I did to my achilles - its occasionally been swollen and tender on and off for a fair few months but on Wednesday I really thought that I may have torn (or even ruptured) it. But no, after a few iced pea sessions, it was pretty much sorted and good to go again.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;">So on Saturday it was another epic outing in the hills for me, Harry, Hester and Gavin, this time following a humdinger of a route called the Dales Skyline. And with a total distance of 35 miles, ten peaks and 9,600 feet of ascent, it sure was an epic outing too, made especially so by the warm, sultry (aka sweaty as flip) weather. This fantastic route by the way was ‘invented’ by Duncan Elliot of Bowland Fellrunners three or four years ago and, as viewed from his home turf of Bowland, we were running pretty much the viewable skyline of the Yorkshire Dales. The start is in Barbon to the west, near Kirkby Lonsdale, with the route then hacking over all the main peaks in a wiggly line between there and Settle to the east: Calf Top, Crag Hill, Green Hill, Whernside, Ingleborough, Pen y Ghent, Fountain’s Fell, Malham Moor, Rye Loaf Hill and Warrendale Knotts. A description of the route can be found on the <a href="http://www.gofar.org.uk/dalesskyline.html" target="_blank">Gofar web site</a> as can Duncan’s original <a href="http://www.gofar.org.uk/gofar-%20uk%20ultras%20Dales%20skyline%20report%20by%20D%20Elliott.pdf" target="_blank">write up of his inaugural running of the route</a>.<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">So armed with a trusty Harvey's map of the South West Dales, we left Hester's and Gav's cars in Settle for the finish, then drove over to Barbon for the start in mine and off we jolly well went. The first two hills, Calf Top and Crag Hill, were new to me and, having got to the top of Calf Top after about 3.5 miles, we then had to descend a near vertical 1,200 ft slope down to the Kirkby Lonsdale to Sedburgh road before hacking through about 1.5 miles of grassy tussocky moorland from there to reach the top of Crag Hill. Crag Hill has a trig point and was presumably chosen as a top by Duncan because of that - in fact Great Coum (which we then proceeded to go over anyway) is actually a bit higher but doesn’t count as a peak on the Dales Skyline – Duncan’s route so Duncan’s rules ☺︎. We then ran round the top and along the ridge to the top of Green Hill which (interesting fact of the year alert) is the highest peak in Lancashire – Barbon, Crag Hill and Great Coum are all in Cumbria but Lancashire, for some weird reason, sends a spur of county line north which encompasses a thin triangle of the Dales including the peak of Gragareth (about one meter shorter than Green Hill and a couple of miles to the south) and just about squeezes in Green Hill too. Fortunately, after the uninvited interloping of Cumbria and Lancashire into the Yorkshire Dales, the route was all </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">genuine</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> North Yorkshire from this point on.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; color: #222222; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">From Green Hill we descended into Kingsdale, one of my very favourite (and very unspoilt) Yorkshire Dales, before climbing Whernside and joining the 3 Peaks jamboree that was kicking off up there. The 3 Peaks charity walkers were out in spades on Whernside and, for a while on our descent to Hill Inn, the route was busy, busy, busy. We were then each able to drain (in great big thirsty </span><span style="font-size: 15px;">gallops)</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"> pints of orange squash and greedily consume slabs of cake (and get a sausage for Harry) at the 3 peakeroo's farm shop just before Hill Inn (at £1 a pint business was booming) before commencing our assault on Ingleborough. Thankfully we'd now left the ‘pelaton’ of the 3 peak crowds behind and Ingleborough was a relatively civilised jaunt up and trot down to Horton. The 3 Peaks cafe in Horton too was another handy pit stop for even more drinks and cider lollies all round. At this point, when we had about 20 miles in the tank, we very much expected Harry to want to toodle home (just round the corner) but he was not inclined to do that at all and was maybe the most enthusiastic member of the whole team, scampering about and chasing stones, as the rest of us sweatily trudged up Pen y Ghent.<u></u><u></u></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;">After Pen y Ghent, rather than follow the traditional line of the Pennine Way to Fountain’s Fell via Dale Head, we took a more direct route down...... and more flipping tussocks and bog hopping ensued. From there though Fountain’s Fell was a relatively easy climb, as was the running along the top of the ridge to the summit cairn and the line down from there to the trig point, our 8<sup>th</sup> peak, at Malham Moor. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rye Loaf Hill was next up and yet again we took a direct line through the tussocks to get to it and, after what seemed like an age of trudging (yes we were definitely trudging by this point) we eventually summitted Rye Loaf Hill, thank the lord. Now with Warrendale Knotts, our final peak, firmly in view with a glimpse of Settle beyond, the end was now in sight. We ran to Attermire scar and zipped up to the trig on Warrendale Knotts before racing down to Settle for the finish. 11 hours 45 start to finish so, yep, a long day out in the hills. What a cracking day out though.....</span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><u></u><u></u></span></span></div>

Well, from last Thursday evening and over the weekend to Sunday, I managed to do a jolly fine cross-section of all things fell runny..................</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Thursday evening it was the Abbey Anniversary fell race for me and Hester (a race of the short sharp variety.... which I tend to find distinctly 'tough as arse'oles'), on Friday night/Saturday morning I navigated the second leg over the Helvellyn range for Kevin's Bob Graham Round, on Saturday daytime I didn't really do anything although me and Harry did watch Hester sprint finish across the line of the Pen y Ghent fell race (her second race in three days) and on Sunday me, Hester and Harry all went for a lovely meandery run over the Settle Hills from Settle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<u>The Thursday evening fell race</u>, the <a href="http://www.abbeyrunners.co.uk/our-races/anniversary-fell-race/" target="_blank">Abbey Anniversary</a> from Kettlewell and organised by Abbey Runners, is what they call in their blurb an ideal fell race for "landlubbers (which I take to mean road runners) and novices" - it doesn't go to high or too wild and in the main sticks to marked tracks - that said, it starts with a bugger of a climb and because its only 5 miles long has to be run in full on 'eye balls out' mode. In the end I finished in a smidge over 50 minutes in <a href="https://racebest.com/results/abbey-anniversary-fell-race" target="_blank">20th place (out of 47)</a> but to be honest I found myself well short of short and fast fell race practice - I was fine on the climbs but struggled to find enough speed on the descents and the flat bits. Maybe I need to do more fast races then? Hester ran brilliantly coming in as second lady and, most importantly of all, winning a bottle of wine. Oh and cracking bread and soup in the Bluebell Inn afterwards.</div>

<u>On Friday night</u> Kevin was going for his Bob Graham Round and I'd (foolishly) agreed to support him on the overnight second leg (the graveyard shift) between Threlkeld and Dunmail, navigating across a dozen peaks effectively following the Helvellyn ridge line top to bottom in the process. Kevin was 15 minutes ahead of his 22 hour 45 minute planned schedule when he trotted off of Blencathra and into the carpark at Threlkeld Cricket Club at the end of leg one and we then set off from there at about 11:15pm and successfully traversed all of the necessary peaks of leg two without too much fuss at a similar fast pace (a too fast a pace maybe?), arriving at Dunmail at about 3:30 in the morning. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
By which point Kev was 50 minutes up on his schedule. I then proceeded to get eaten alive by midges in the early dawn light, while we all chatted and waved Kev and his team off for his leg 3. Kevin magnificently completed his Bob Graham Round by the way but not without a few nervous moments by the sound of things - he managed to turn his 50 minute advantage after the first 2 legs into a 10 minute deficit by the end of the (gruelling) 3rd leg but soldiered on through what turned out to be a fair bit of wet weather over the final 2 legs to come home 23 hours and 43 minutes - thats almost an hour over his planned schedule but relatively comfortably within the 24 hours allowed. Well done Kevin - you didn't overcook things early doors then............ but you sure came damn close to it.</div>

<u>For Saturday</u> I'd had this half arsed plan to run the Pen y Ghent fell race in the afternoon but, although I'd had a couple of cat naps, I was just completely shattered. Instead me and Harry went for a little run along the river and timed things to arrive at Horton playing fields just as the Pen y Ghent fell race was finishing. Hester ran a blinder again, against a bigger and tougher field of runners this time and in torrential rain, and romped home in 58th place and 7th lady. Conditions looked just brilliant (aka very wet and muddy) for what is a corker of a race and, come the finish, I sort of regretted not giving it a bash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u>Sunday</u> and the weather dawned sunny and me and the H's had a lovely trot out to Cleatop Wood and over to Attermire Scar and the hills above Settle. We looked for (but didn't find) a family of foxes that often hang about in that neck of the woods and generally pootled about, climbing up to a couple of caves and generally exploring and moseying about. And er... running a bit too I guess.</div>

.....this year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2013 Pen y Ghent was <a href="http://stolly14.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/stat-attack-total-running-for-2013.html" target="_blank">my most run up hill of the year</a> with 13 visits but this year is completely knocking last year into a cocked hat - thus far I've now already been up there a dozen times and nine of those have been in the past six weeks, ever since moving to the Horton Hobbit Hole in fact. Never mind a mere 13 runs up Pen y Ghent, it could be 50 this year!! I wonder if I can do a full week of running up Pen y Ghent each day? Hmmm....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This weekend was Hester's turn to move in to the HHH (a huge undertaking comparable logistically with the D-Day landings) so there wasn't really time for anything too long on the running front. Me and Hazzer therefore stayed close to home (Pen y Ghent then) and did a 12 mile loop of the 'Horton Skyline' on Saturday morning, running in a wide circle over Pen y Ghent to the east, down to Helwith Bridge and then over Moughton to the west. On Sunday we did our bog standard 9.5 mile loop of Pen y Ghent, Plover Hill and Whitber Hill. Both days our runs were done and dusted by mid-morning leaving me plenty of time to travel over to Masham to help Hester with her packing, do umpteen visits to the local dump and not forgetting her insisting on the painting of her old living room just before moving out! Huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyway Hester's move went pretty well all things considered and she is now all installed in Horton and will soon be running up Pen y Ghent with me and the boy..... week in, week out ☺︎</div>
