Back

Back home and back to some half decent training. Me and Stef did 14ml / 2200ft around Embsay Moor on Saturday afternoon and 10ml / 3500ft from Littondale over into Wharfedale, up Great Whernside and back yesterday. Our original plan was to re-climb Great Whernside via Starbotton, picking up the Fellsman route at Park Rash. However, it was extremely windy and wet on the tops and we decided that the safest thing to do was get down and back to the car a.s.a.p. Ironically, we had to walk down the initial descent from Great Whernside as the head wind was so strong it was impossible to run down what is regarded as one of the best descents in the Dales!
