And then there were two....

Saturday's outing was a quiet start to the New Year with just EtU, SN and myself toeing the line. EtU was obviously improving from his attack of lurgy and lasted a little further than the previous Thursday, staying with us as far as Healey Nab.

With the team reduced to two we headed for White Coppice, the Brinscal triangle and thence to Great Hill, Spittler's Edge, Hordern Stoops, Amunition Corner and back to the lower barn in a time of 3 hrs 13 mins 27 secs, an average of 14 mins 42 secs for each of the 13.16 miles we covered. Total climbing was 1720 ft.

It is interesting that we had done a slightly shorter (12 miles) but otherwise similar route in reverse the equivalent day 12 months earlier in 3 hrs 6 mins which should be encouraging for both of us as we found the tussocky run from Great Hill exhausting.

I plan to be at the UTUP next Saturday though my distance will probably be influenced by the Garstang 10K race the following day.
