Well I did it - 28mins non-stop but the pace slowed up considerably (7 kph) but managed to do "the slope" twice, I thought it was important to prove to myself that I could since, as you can see, as it looms large in my thinking.
Separately, thank goodness for the headlamp I bought as it showed up a tree branch right across the path that I would have run through and tripped over without it. I nearly didnt part with the money, now I am glad I did.
