Went against advice and went ahead with the run despite two bashed knees. Pleased to report that it wasn't quite as bad as I had feared, but what I'll be like in the morning heavens knows!

Well done, I'll be doing W5R2 tomorrow and run 3 later in the week.

Thank you and good luck with your runs.

And yes I do enjoy fell walking. I've called myself sridingedge because, like this, I found the fell quite a scary prospect as I am frightened of heights. But managed to get to the summit, and hope to be able to complete this challenge as well!

Not what you're looking for?
