_andy Nov 2010 11:17am, 14 Nov 2010 5,980 posts	Quote Pin _andy Slightly mental morning run - in the hills (again). Started in the pouring rain with the headtorch, along muddy trails for about four miles through a pass between the hills, then headed straight up the steep hillside as the rain rapidly become sleet then snow, and the dirty grey and brown world of the early morning was transformed into a white wilderness. Over a couple of 2,000ft hills into the teeth of a gale, through the clag, and with very cold toes - cold, wet puddles followed by snow is a bad combination. A moment of sublime peacefulness out of the wind just below the second summit and then the icy blast of the elements again over the top and the ridge behind. Then a long and slippery descent which brought back into the grey and ominous gloom of the world below the snowline, but now feeling the safety of being out of the wind. Took the indirect route back by following a track away from the car (it's a trail that I'd only explored once before) as the slippery snow turned into slippery wet mud, and the horizontal snow went back to icy rain. Now feeling a bit warmed up after the first couple of hours, so let the legs go a bit and was soon back at the safety and warmth of the car after a few more miles. Yeah, not a bad outing before breakfast (rice pudding and a triple choc cookie tactically left in the car). Worth getting up for inthe darkness with the rain hammering on the windows.
