Preparation for Stef's round

Stef's BG is approaching very quickly now. She has Thursday and Friday off work and will be arriving in Yorkshire on Wednesday night. I'm working on Thursday but have Friday off. Our plan is to drive up to Keswick on Friday morning, get some lunch in town after checking into the B&B (Dollywagon again), then spend the afternoon in the B&B with feet up before going over to the Moot Hall for the 7pm start. I'm hoping to do at least two legs and have had a 'mini-taper' so I'm fresh on Friday

One of the downsides of the Bob Graham is that for many folk it takes over your life! Training is very much tailored to the challenge of doing 42peaks / 65miles / 27,000feet in sub 24 hours and that can mean missing out on favourite races, and especially events with relatively little climb. It's the Jack Bloor race tonight on Ilkley Moor, which is always a terrific evening, but at best I'll be going over to watch / support. More likely I'll be getting ready for the weekend!
