Today

NLN, T’Y and I started from the UP and ran to the Rivington and Blackrod School and then to the Pike. It was then back to the school and up the Pike again. The reason for this start was for me to consider the Pike Race seriously. On the second ascent of the Pike we met EtU who had started from home before visiting Two Lads and the Pike. Near the gate at George’s Lane we met Chris Beesley who greeted T’Y using his irreverent but long standing alternative name “Rondest Goon”,  an anagram of his real name. I suppose that  “T’Rondes Goon” might be another alternative Chris. I think T’Y is very tolerant. After visiting the Pike we all went to Noon Hill where EtU and Chris left for home and the rest of us went via Hordern Stoops to the Bomber Memorial area and then to Yarrow Reservoir, Rivington Green and to the barn.

A thoroughly wet morning with the clag down all the time, with George’s Lane awash and with frog spawn in virtually every large puddle. NLN’s Garmin device was not working. My map and wheel method gives 10 miles only.
