Why do we name high things “downs” and “lows” crazy.

Great job in the heat... a little breeze helps but a wind is a pain... many congratulations on beating what must have been a tough one. Enjoy run 2, let’s hope it’s a bit cooler.

I’ve walked up that hill on and off for 30 years with various dogs but this is for us and it’s so peaceful

May have passed you guys on the walk way back when... lovely part of the world which I miss a little. I lived in Havant, Portsmouth and Winchester, but my visa expired and I had to come back up north!

Yes Sunday is going to be cooler and our next run as going to rest a couple of days and sit in the sun

Nice area to be further north it stays light a bit later

You earned that extra day for sure... enjoy the sun, it’s so much better to sit in than to run in 🤣

The hills here called me back... when I first came back up this way I walked over and around kinder scout every day for about six months... the Kendal mint cake may have not done me as much good as it tasted at the time though 🤣🤣

Yes we march up the hill and puff but once we get to the top the track undulates so a bit of downhill then the road bit is straight down
