Case of the missing blogs

Problems with posting blogs by YJ during the week may have been due to my computer rehashing an old version and not updating to show a current posting. Could have been operator error. If this appears I may have solved the mystery.

And then there were two....


Problems in posting a blog during the week nearly prevented a much depleted Saturday squad meeting up on 9th May but the value of UTUP paid off and Nico and YJ arrived at the lower barn within seconds. Rumours that Matt was to make a comeback proved inaccurate and having given him 5 minutes grace the two of us set off for Healey Nab, White Coppice, Abbey Village, Roddleworth, Catherines Edge and Dock Bucket Farm.

At the Belmont Bull the Belmont Winter Hill race preliminaries were just starting and after a brief (very brief) discussion we decided not to wait and do the race. This was the parting of the ways, Nico opting to return to the Lower Barn by the direct route past the allotments and YJ choosing to get in one extra climb via the Ramp, returning via the trig point, wooden bridge, down the sheep's back and past the Top barn.

Stats (Garmin): Distance, 18.69, time 3hr 55min, pace 12 min 36 secs per mile, climbing 2,900ft.

It was YJ's best run for some time and as I arrived feeling a little jaded it proved the value of squad training for our long runs. Thanks Nico and good luck next weekend
