I'll try and do stage 3 and 4 together tomorrow. I’m running shorter distances comfortably at the moment but I’m a bit worried about my stamina. Now I’ve never been one for too many long training runs. About two hours is my limit. But that gap has previously been filled by cycling and challenging all day walks. Of course since little Lara was born all that has rightly gone out of the window. So on Sunday morning I’m going to set off early and join the next two stages together, the second one being the terrifying climb up “the Mare’s Saddle”, a mare indeed….this will count as “a long one” coz I’ll have to make my own way back again. The logistics of all this are becoming increasingly complicated. Oh, and I promised to be back well before lunch!
The photos show that it’s a long way up. Maybe it’ll get Albion’s (inevitable) relegation out of my system.
