Just the first half. Think I'm a bit tired from yesterday's double.

As per the race up to the cabin and then Mill Hill up the trod. Wasn't sure where to turn left - but would be in the race, since there'd be a CP. Fairly straight to Harry Hut. It's quite a way along the slabs; I thought I'd left it too late and went off piste, but it looks like has I gone just a little bit further there'd have been a nice trod. From HH, tried to do what I failed to do in the race and drop down the spur to the path. Failed again - but this time I know why - there is no path. Stupid OS. So looks like the correct route is to do what most did in the race - back SE for a bit to go around the reentrant, and then down the grouse butts.

Going back to just W of the shooting cabin seems like a good way up to Mill Hill. There is a trod a lot of the way, it's still uphill but slightly less soul destroying than the first line of butts with no trod.

Bit disappointing that I couldn't face the second half of the route. Feeling a bit dispirited in general.

Terry's High 5 route with Em. Lovely weather, really windy though!

Thought it would be fun to do the Chrome Hill race route, as missed the race last year as it clashed with another race.
N wanted a bit more distance so we did an extra loop almost the same length as the race. Some trespass.

Race route is lovely - defo worth doing. Some amazing views and inspiring landscapes. Some single tracks at the beginning though, so would be very worthwhile sprinting the first few hundred metres on the road.

Glorious day.

With Em. Highest she's ever been! Also, did a bit of elevation.

Bit weird with all the virus news. Everyone a bit dispirited. Niggles a bit niggly.
