Ilkley Moor Sunday walk

Ilkley Moor in spring time

It's been a beautiful day today and Stef and I walked on Ilkley Moor this morning with Rob, Hilary and Sophie plus Richard and Jan.  We were out for around three hours and met Tussock and Sophie's visa pals Walter and Archie too

Stef is doing the Highlander MM in June and we're mixing up dog runs with running everyday. I had a lazy few weeks after my last (132 day) streak but I'm enjoying being out immensely at the moment. It's not difficult on days like today

Hill reps

I went over to Ilkley Moor to do a couple of my old BG hill-reps last night while Sam was at the rugby club getting physio for a shoulder injury he picked up last Saturday. Two weeks ago I had a go at the reps, but struggled like hell if I'm honest! Last night I felt a bit better thankfully

It was a mild, breezy but slightly damp night and I tried out my new Alpkit Manta head-torch. The light level is good but it appeared heavy and awkward to stabilise on the head. I think it'd be fine for walking, camping, general outdoor activity but it just felt "clumsy" even at my (very) moderate pace
