Run out from Longsleddale, hoping to meet Steve Birkenshaw on his amazing wainwright round on Tarn Crag, but he was slightly up on time so got the timing perfect to intercept between Tarn and Gray Crag.
Planned to run up and see how the leg felt then decide whether it was a good idea to run on or not. As it happened, ankle/knee felt fine, legs still a bit tired but what do you expect when setting off straight into a bog/tussock monster climb....(brain had chosen to forget this from January when I was last up here). Ankle fine for the run, tightened up after but a bit of stretching and poking seems to have kept it under control.
Steve was moving well so joined them round to the col before Selside Pike before a swift run back down the valley (reminiscent of Ennerdale) to be back by 8pm.
Steve is doing an awesome job of eating up the miles, despite blistered feet and slightly too warm weather (major question of the evening, do you tie the shoes tight or loose once the blisters hit...) - well worth a few pounds of support:
