Today’s team was NicO, NLN, Rafe and me. NicO was delivered to the start by David because of transport problems.
The route was devised bearing in mind that NLN wanted to be home by about 12.30 and that NicO and Rafe would leave us at some point and head for home. We started by visiting Healy Nab and then it was White Coppice, the Brinscall triangle, Great Hill and to Hordern Stoops where NicO and Rafe left us. NLN and I continued to Ammunition Corner, the Top Barn and in.
On the track above Drinkwaters a group of runners came in the opposite direction. In the group was Mark Davies and two people who worked with NicO 16 years ago and she had not seen them since. Mark was well and in fine form. At about that time we started to encounter snow underfoot and by the time we reached Great Hill it was at least 10cm deep. These conditions continued over Spitlers where the flags were mainly hidden. Shortly before Hordern Stoops NicO’s feet went through the snow into knee deep mud and she was thoroughly stuck! I dragged her out wondering whether or not I was doing David a favour.
Yet again NLN, bring on the pictures.
13.2 miles, NicO 15.5.
