Saturday 30th April

A bracing outing yesterday. JtE was at the Bottom Barn and we ran up to meet EYJ on Two Lads.

The senior J had decided that it wasn't his knee that had been holding him back, but rather his lack of fitness due to nursing the knee that the medics had diagnosed was the problem. So he set off for the Shooting Hut and thence Smithills Res and the wall, whilst the lad and I headed for the Pike, Noon Hill and then Winter Hill Trig. It was cold at first but we warmed up as we ran harder and the sun got higher in the sky.

As planned, we rendezvous'd with JtE part way along the wall, and having chatted briefly, continued to Winberry Hill where EYJ dropped off for home and I continued back via the Res, to the mast, then the Pike again, then back to the Barn. JtE's car was still there, so I checked the coffee shop then drove home.

A smashing outing and good to see that you can't keep a good man down; we just need to get him fit again!
