Grindleford Gallop recce.
That was great fun, but tough. Five of us headed out to run the gallop route - me, Doug, Steve, Tom and Sally. The snow wasn't as bad as we feared, the section across Longstone moor was deep but that was replaced by either compact snow or ice on the more used sections. Still made it slower and more energy sapping than if it was snow free. It's a good route, with three climbs and some quick running in between. My legs were feeling strong, almost getting better as time went on, and I was able to push on up the last climb out of Baslow. Tiring a bit by the end, but still moving well.
