After the efforts of the weekend, including all that driving, I put my feet up on the Monday and then went for a gentle run on the Tuesday to loosen everything up. Wednesday was a day off work for me as I was seeing a Physio in the afternoon. As this was an appointment made a while ago, there was no choice in weather so it was a very breezy day with cloud on the tops and intermittent sleet and snow showers. Still I’d plotted a route to tick off the lower summits on the Skiddaw massive: Lonscale Fell, Skiddaw Low Man, Carl Side, Long Side, Ullock, and Dodd.
I ran all the way to Lonscale Fell and towards Low Man before the wind really got the better of me, and in the end reduced me to crawling on hands and knees over the summit! It was certainly the strongest wind I have been in on my own on the fells. Exhilarating to say the least! No incentive to get the camera out. Total distance about 15 miles.
