Either that or I’m still recovering 5 months on (and with little consistency since) from the Old County Tops. I can’t even really blame Covid as I’ve had it twice at least and neither time affected me too much beyond a month at most. I did manage 9 miles tonight on the moors and about the first time I was able to run a few hills without much walking since May.

Back home now and it's still hellishly windy.

SimonF Oct 2023 9:02am, 19 Oct 2023 414 posts	Quote Pin SimonF It's one of the biggest days on the fell running calendar this Saturday with the FRA Relays taking place in Braithwaite near Keswick in the Lakes. I'm running the very short leg 1 for my club's V50 team which is not my ideal and I'm just hoping I'm not too embarrassed to be handing over late. The routes are all around the Coledale Horsehoe area. Leg 2 looks the best with a trip over Coledale Hause, Crag Fell, Sail and Causey Pike. I think every leg goes over Barrow. Hoping the worst of Babet will have blown through by then.
