The all new training diary.

[Bierzo Baggie]

I'm in awe of this survival stuff - seems technique is everything unless you fancy dying cold and lonely on a distant peak or spending a few weeks looking like an extra from The Mummy. Makes me realise how many levels of running there are out there and, like the wonderful Feet In The Clouds, wish I were able to shed a few stone. Sad to say I'll probably never taste adventure like this, but it sure is great reading about it. Bravo.

Survival stuff? Not sure if I know what you mean. Nobody has died around here (with the exception of one poor bear who was shot near Burbia last year by a short sighted hunter).

If you're familiar with the terrain and have a reasonable level of fitness, which after all is what running gives us, these mountain hikes are accessible to all of us.

I loved "feet in the clouds". If you access the fellrunner forum you'll find that some of the hardcore didn't like it though.
