Itchen way trails accidental Hash
Started a loop from the Hub Bishopstoke with the intention of returning down the Itchen way. Saw a group of runners across a field who warned us of some frisky horses. Had a look but decided to head back, bumped into the group again who were doing a hash. Said would we like to join so we did, a loop through Stoke park wood then back to Banbridge. Did a fair bit of checking and running. Good fun! Got a bit cold and wet near the end, then had to down two halves and drank a pint in the social! Got a bit tipsy especially as I hadn't had any breakfast!

Acres Down O practice
Felt a bit rushed, did two small loops. Map was a bit out of date and braken was high. Need to work on intensity to the attack point and then precision in

Spectating the Hampshire League XC

Souther Fell
Had considered two quick up and backs, but decided to make this into a better route. Up the valley with some river crossings, then a very gradual ascent to the col then the top. Basically runnable all the way, before a fast descent. Ticked off my 100th Wainwright and almost finished the Northern fells book.

Little Chamomix
Following John up. Pretty exposed in places, including the last belay position. Pretty tricky in wet trail shoes.
