Whittle Pike Recce

Well it's all down to EYJ now. We got him round the route last night, picking up some of the better lines and missing some others. Always a bit disconcerting when you've trudged across loads of tussocky stuff to reach the summit cairn and then turn round to see that there was a perfect trod winding it's way up the hill about 50m to the left!

Good training though. It packs a lot in for under 5m, as the 1200ft climb would suggest. So wish EJY all the best for the race. Enjoy!

I'm not out on Saturday as I'm planning on doing Turnslack Fell Race. It's an afternoon race so my first lie-in on a Saturday morning since I don't know when!
