After day revising wanted to get up so headed up onto the fell in the wind (50mph+) and rain over some rather interesting terrain! After bashing my right angle on the bike yesterday and puncturing the sole of my left foot (don't leave power plugs hiding under piles of clothes on the floor!), feet weren't in the best of condition but there you go! Strapped the right one which gave a bit more support which was nice on the screes and one particularly edgy narrow sheep track across Kennel Crag.

From Far End Coniston, headed up the main track into Coppermines valley, taking a narrow path over scree up the side of some waterfalls to Levers Water. Ran a lap of the reservoir (at this point the wind and rain were properly going for on and the mist threatening to drop further) before descending some very rocky, and at times narrow, tracks towards Yewdale Fells and back down the flank.

All in all pretty good fun stuff and felt about right to try and keep moving despite a couple of annoying acute injuries that will hopefully be resolved in the week before JK next weekend.

High Peak to Grizedale and back to Coniston (all via The North Face trail). HR data/climb/precise distances when I bother to plug my watch in (cable did not find it's way into my suitcase!)
