My challenge preparations unfortunately lack much hill work which I am sure to pay for when it is crunch time. I am putting the distance work in though and my next post will be a full write up of my latest backpacking outing involving some East Anglian stealth camping. For now, here is a taster...
Fenland Hill training Carl.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean.
I have even less hills than you.
Ah, the heady days of the Suffolk Munroes when we lived in Helions.
But bog! I can train for that daily.
Lo0oking forward to the write up now.
You lived in Helions? Given that you also share my mummy's maiden name you've probably just found a distant relative!
ReplyDeleteHave to say that I really love our neck of the woods (fenland included) for walking - just wish the local opinions on wildcamping were more like they are in t'Lakes and - even better - Scotland.
Cheers Andy - hope you do enjoy the write-up.
The Moment looks nicely pitched there Carl or was the frost doing an impression of cardboard.
ReplyDeleteIt was a tad frosty, but it wasn't too cardboardy. I find it pitches really well, unless I try to use the cross over pole and pitch it without pegs - that just doesn't work (or maybe I am doing something wrong).
DeleteI still use pegs with the cross over pole. The wind has a habit of getting underneath otherwise.
