Running - Trail long (MH Fell Handicap Route) 3:09:26 [3] 23.7 km (8:00 / km) +1063m 6:32 / km
ahr:131 max:153
Eyam cancelled, castle vale cancelled, MH Fell Handicap race cancelled... Country grinds to a halt. The snow was nowhere near as bad as forecast, so couldn't have a weekend without playing in it.
So thought I'd recce the route as prep for when it's rerun, and then I wouldn't need to keep looking at the map.
Mudclaws excellent in the snow.
Wore a lot of clothes incl full waterproofs and carried full kit plus food for a whole day and a survival bag. As a result I was particularly toasty and didn't feel worried at any point, which was excellent.felt quite hard-core - saw exactly zero other runners.
Went wrong a bit where paths were obscured by the snow and the large forest wasn't on the map, but otherwise good. Relocated ok. Lovely route in general, despite the climb it would all be runnable without the snow, which was knee-deep around shining tor and made it a bit tricky. Felt like I was running pretty well although obviously wasn't doing it at race pace!
