Saturday, 3rd Jan.

A happy and fitness filled year to you all.

I will be at the Lower Barn at the usual time on Saturday but will finalise route plans after hearing what the main group is doing. Last year, same day we did Ammo Corner, Spittlers Edge, Great Hill, Brinscall triangle, White Coppice and then presumably Bullough Res and up by the Cascade, totalling about 12 miles which is all the distance I plan for Saturday.

Return to form is proving elusive and makes the early season races/LDWA events (Garstang 10K and That's Lyth) somewhat daunting but have to be done if maximum fitness is to be achieved by the end of May. Next up will be Anglzarke, Winter Hill and the Fleet Half Marathon. The Fleet event has in recent years kept me away from the Wuthering Hike, a clash not occurring this year if the provisional date I have seen is retained.
