Family training week in Troutbeck

Half term and a great idea from Dr. M was a family holiday in the Lakes where I could do some training as well as doing family stuff. Success on both counts with over 16k of climb and a wide range of Lakeland tourist venues ticked off, it was lots of fun.
Troutbeck Inn cottages get the thumbs up. Weather was a bit variable, but did not stop play of either type.

I got to know Blencathera a lot better with early or late outings on or around it and 2 trips up Skiddaw. Also did leg 2 with Jim Mann in quite horrible conditions and a shared desire to be able to navigate it without getting the map out.

Instructed by Uncle Jim to read "Born to Run" so I can learn how to enjoy pain! It probably explains this.

Still have unpacking and packing for a short work trip to do .......
