In a bid to get a feel towards the Spine race, last weekend I took a trip out to the Pennine Way. I got tipped off the bus at Standedge, and wobbled my way along the trails up to Colden. After camping overnight in a pub garden (a little Lager helped the rehydration process),I carried on the next day up to Ponden. Not far in distance terms - 16 m the first day, 10 the next - but I was just experimenting with carrying kit, and investigating how it felt on new trails. All good fun and a new running challenge.
