Running - Trail 5:02:55 50.08 km (6:03 / km) +1659m 5:11 / km
slept:8.0 weight:72.8kg shoes: Brookes Cascadia 10
Run back to the parents' house. Well I'm bored of Snake and a single on the train is £9.
A long list of place names shall now follow:
Millhouses, Eccy, Limb, Burbage, Stanage, High Neb, Ladybower, Win Hill, Lose Hill and along the edge to Mam Tor, Lord's Seat, Brown Knoll, South Head, Mount Famine, Peep O'Day, Big Stone, Foxholes Clough, SVT and looping around to get it above 50km.
Felt great for the first 90mins or so, but don't know the lines off Bamford Edge so was bracken bashing for 15mins down the hill which left me feeling a bit off. A coke at the Cheshire Cheese perked me up a bit but glad I was on trail all the way.
The good news is that the paving on Brown Knoll doesn't affect the start of the Skyline line from the Chapel Gate path. However once the trod gets feint sensible racers will just bomb it to the slabs as it can't be lost and is pretty quick - I set a Strava CR despite being 20miles in (but I have never taken that line, was a bit left of what I normally do).
Fave bits were DofE group asking each other 'how do you do that?' as I was running up Lose Hill, a random lad who was sitting on the Mam Tor path sprinting to catch me up then getting dropped within 100m, and as I reached new mills I ran past a (typical New Mills) lass complaining about how walking her dog up a gentle hill was making her legs tired as I looked at my watch to see 49km tick over.
