For the second weekend on the trot another gorgeous run up Ingleborough from Austwick on Saturday morning, this time with Hester as well as Harry, and catching a small splash of snow (the first of the season) while we were up there. To be honest this week's run was completely different to last week's.... because we ran it clockwise rather than anti-clockwise.
Totally, totally different then....

And what do you know, me and Harry and Hester actually ran a fell race on Sunday, the 8 mile Commondale Beacon race in the North York Moors. It turned out to be a right good blow out too, with it really being not nearly hilly enough to suit my 'skill set' (cough). Jesus it felt like we sprinted all the way round! Anyway I came 45th with a time of 63 minutes, Harry was first dog and Hester zoomed home to finish 71st, 4 minutes later. Fantastically muddy as you'd expect and jolly good fun..
