Aching back during the climb, twisted my ankle twice and ended up last V50 at Kettlewell today. Nice to chat briefly to @rf_fozzy good event very well organised as expected. Whether it was worth 5 hours in the car (for me!) is another question!

Put together with the prospect of several hours in the car and a less than inviting forecast I did the sensible thing ... and went back to bed. Seems the weather was OK in the end. I got my comeuppance tonight when I got utterly drenched on my 6 mile flat shuffle.

I had to shuffle down at the end. Thankfully I had others carrying the stiles down. Just as a matter of interest, how did you find the start up through the rock chimney - I heard some pre-emptive moaning about it from some as I was wandering through the parking field. As an aside I was amazed at just how few cars we got - was only around 150 - I was expecting closer to 300.

Slightly off subject; does anybody know a good physio in the north east (England) or Cumbria, with a strong running bias / specialisation? Thanks. @geordiegirl is in the North East and may be able to offer some pointers Sory for th late reply to this, just catching up. Platinum at coxhoe are superb as somone said but i think Neil, who's behind it has moved back to Australia and i'm not sure whos running it now . Keven Jeffries , Stride sports clinic in Seaham is also brilliant ( they have both been my go to fizz over the years) and a superb runner himself. stridesportsclinic.com
