  1. Ventured up a previously impassable lane, after some volunteer work. Perhaps I will return in the summer when it is not a flowing stream

  2. I managed another one. Two new footpaths covered too. Unfortunately one was an ancient sunken lane that had a concrete field drain into it, so was a full flowing stream bed. Overall very enjoyable

  3. So I did it. Fantastic sunshine. Horizon to horizon rainbow but not in the direction I was going so no rain. River roaring but not on the riverbank paths. More than happy I did that

  4. OK, I managed to do it. After 40 days of travelling, illness and recovery I got out there and did a reasonable run. Hampered by wind and the Wye flooding from the recent storm, it was actually a beautifully sunny and warm day.

    Salomon Speedcross 4 nearing the end of their useful life after nearly 100 runs and 840k. Not sure how clean I will get them now

  5. Dragged another one out. It was so warm I could not say no, though it has been three weeks since my last run so I have been saying no a lot.

  6. New shoes, so not a long run (exactly the same shoes as the last 8 pairs - 3 still in use, I like to rotate them) but I thought I'd ease them in

    Ran 9.78 kms @ 6:19min/km en-gb.smashrun.com/john.cooper

  7. My legs are still buzzing from wading through 2k of knee high nettles. It was mainly OK last time I went that way a few months back. Not very fast

    Ran 11.11 kms @ 8:49min/km en-gb.smashrun.com/john.cooper

  8. Finished exploring Harewood End. Industrial agriculture I did not mean to visit. Fruit growing polytunnels and then past a collection of the Wye valleys (in)famous intensive chicken rearing warehouse sheds.

  9. Another run where I try and stay off the roads. Unfortunately this time I acquired some gravel rash on one of the unavoidable roads

    Ran 10.17 kms @ 6:54min/km en-gb.smashrun.com/john.cooper

  10. First run for months. Combination of sickness, weather (did not used to be a problem) and cba

    Took some photos so as to have some rests

  11. A few shots from the rather fun Tricam workshop day with Rise and Summit at Wintours Leap on Saturday. Leads on Swallow's Nest (VS 4c) and African Killer Bee (VS 4c) including placing some of said (rather versatile as it turns out) pointy devices. Not shown; the faceful of hail I took 3/4 of the way up Swallow's Next - mostly, I suspect, because Kev was rather more concerned for my safety on the suddenly very slimy and rather exciting upper section than taking pics 🤣 Thanks for that, Kev! Also nice to have climbing pics that don't feature my backside!

  12. Knee is pretty buggered from hitting the ground at full pelt, toe I stubbed on a tree root is none too clever either. Nearly rolled into the stream too. #running #trailrunning #WyeValley #Hoarwithy #smashrun

  13. Well, I kinda assumed Plump Hill was soft, what with it being very slabby and all, but Shorn Cliff is definitely "proper" trad routes, so either the grades are soft there too, or I'm getting better; this VS 4b actually felt not too bad, and I'm even placing slightly less gear (probably still too much, though....)
