Ages since I update the site (just too busy running!!) Well here is the latest summary of what I have been up to. Basically I am adhering to the plan and exceeding it a few times. As said before I will not get to the lakes very often for BG specific training so I have focused locally in the Peak District. Luckily enough I have a known challenge only eight miles from home - The Kinder Dozen (about 40 Km with 3000 mtrs of climb). I have now completed it three times each time being a bit faster, mainly due to improved navigation. The fastest time being 7:53. It is a significant day out the climbs are relatively short in comparison to many of those in the lakes but there are 12 of them. While I was tired at the end I was not completely dead which is good I suppose!

My first trip to the lakes in probably two years is coming up now. My intention is to complete the entire BG over two days. My plan is to start from Dunmail and do legs 3 and 4 to stay at Honister YHA. Then the following day legs 5,1,2 back to Dunmail. I just need food for the first day as a good breakfast will get me to Keswick where I can buy something to get me through legs 1 and 2. I reckon I will be OK with legs 3 and 4, it is getting up on Sunday morning and doing it all again that will be the test.
