We got up at 2:30am to watch @ultradamo.bsky.social finish his record breaking run in the Northern Traverse, and now I’m heading inland to try and find the girls coming across the moors.

At the Five Trigs race yesterday we raffled off an A2 print of my Spine photo to raise money for Oldham MRT.
We raised £400 from raffle sales, and in total they received a cheque from the race director for £1100.
A great day all round. 🥰

Starting and finishing at the Inov8 shop in Staveley you visit 8 Wainwrights on a loop of some very boggy trails.
Most of which I’m in no rush to do again 😳

Skamper/Inov8 round complete!
Spent 90% of the day in rain and clag but the waterproofs worked a treat.
Got a badge for my troubles too.

There’s a new running round in the Lakes called The Skamper Round which starts from the Inov8 shop at Staveley.
8 Wainwrights and back before the cafe closes is the aim.
Giving it a go tomorrow in some changeable weather 😳

The road to cycle up looks fantastic. Has it recently been resurfaced?

It was if you strayed from the path. There were some sections with no flag stones that were a bit tedious too.

The last 2 times I’ve been up Cross Fell I’ve seen bugger all.
Today I finally got to see something from the top!
Out and back from Dufton, what a slog.

Thanks to the weather for allowing me to see if my kit will keep me warm/dry come January.
Happy with everything but the gloves today.
Need something better to keep my hands dry!!

Was out imagining that I was in the Spine Race this afternoon. ❄️
I would LOVE these conditions for the event. I’d feel like I’d got my monies worth.
