The Lakes...

I'm going for a faster Bob Graham and the Ultra Tour du Mont Blanc this year so I need to get some miles in my legs. Last weekend I had an awesome one in the Lakes, on Saturday the weather was superb as you can see from the photos. The first is from Sheffield Pike looking over Ullswater and the second the sunset over the Helvellyn range from the top of High Street. An absolutely amazing day out, a sort of big horseshoe that took in the Helvellyn ridge, Fairfield, Red Screes, eventually up on to High Street and then back to Glenridding for pies.

I hesitate to call a day out like that 'training' as it's days like this one that exemplify why I run.
