alone above all


time away from blogging for time with family and lots of great running, simple running.
we had a few days in the lakes where i had two amazingly uplifting runs round wansfell and its neighbouring fells. each just 6miles with around 1300ft of climb (at the start!)but for me perhaps the most interesting and rewarding runs this year. ewes lambing, wild fell ponies grazing, bambling streams, gushing falls, varied terrain and amazing views. oh and two big fields with steep descents to bomb down at the end. and not a sole in site.
it reinvigorated my desire to be one day a lakeland resident.

As a Lakeland resident believe me, you'll fit right in.

Sounds like you've had a lovely break. Any more pics to share from the trip?
