Friday 28th December, 'Pennine Way' Path, English 'Peak District' National Park
Had a good run out for 5 hours early morning on a dry day for a change. The 'Pennine Way' is a 270 mile path that runs North - South along the Pennine hills in Northern England. Its a well trod path and is paved (in a very loose sense of the word) with rough stone slabs as the trail is often very wet. I set off around 5am, 2 hours before daylight, in a very strong wind. The forecast was oddly for the temperature to dip below freezing after 7am and the winds to drop.

A hilly route and unnerving along some cliff-tops in the pre-dawn. Good training country and the forecast was correct, there was a freeze half way through the run (/walk) which produced a veneer or ice on the trail which made the return journey interesting. Back to the family for lunch.
Will add photos when I can fix an error on this blog site.
