Kinder Scout
I just finished a 26.146km running that lasted about 3hh:20mm:21ss !
Hitting the hills!
Got up bright and early and drove for nearly 2hrs to Chinley for a run around and up Kinder Scout which is the highest point in the Peak District. As well as a few other moderate hills the run totalled over 1000m in climbing. Unfortunately the visibility was about 50m max so the views were a little different than expected!
I pinched the route off Komoot and sent it to my Garmin. Can’t fault it at all, it was correct right to the last km. Because of the fog it was really difficult to work out where we were, it wasn’t until we were about 100m from the summit that we realised we were there. We completely missed the waterfall, the rock shelf and the mermaids pool and was too cold to turn back and go looking for them. The descent was boggy in places and paved with rock slabs in others. I got the full bog experience and almost lost my shoe a couple of times. Note to self - tighten laces! Really really fun day out with good company. Hot bath + some deep stretching needed tonight ❤️
