A photograph looking south, down the steep path through the old abandoned slate quarries, over a green valley, to distant snow-covered fells.
Yesterday was a fun day – I found a 23-km trail race to register for about a month ago. I knew it was going to be hard, & I knew there was a big hill climb, but it was more difficult & more stunningly beautiful than I had expected. Many thanks to the organizers.

Outdoor tent with a sign saying ‘fell race’ stuck to it

Ran my first ever fell race today. Lots of support (& photos) from the family really helped keep me going #fellrun #trails #bighill #jog #yorkshiredales

Overreaching
Dam, I was going to go for a run tonight with the four legged fluffy!

The 6.5% oaty lemon whatever-it-was Kernel beer from last night needed to take the Liz-Trussing hint. Hint = 10K run along the edges of Hayfield. Kinder Scout was like a surly Oasis fan who can't get served warm Madri and regrets buying the tickets. Perfuck. #fellrun #grouseshack #babygrouseshack
Walking one of the trails marked out for a @kendalmountainfest.bsky.social run later. Tricky conditions! Quite deep water over frozen ground #fellrun #parkrun
Continuing the positivity...doesn't the world look better in the sun? View from the bench with my ham, crisp and mustard sandwich (including drying trainers from last night's soggy #fellrun - warts and all!)
Fell run magic. Autumn colour's and bog wet feet are part of the experience of a 10k over and round the mountain.
I'm pleased as I haven't been able to run since February (but maybe not tomorrow)
