Last weekend was the
Glossopdale guys attempt on the Bob Graham round. In between support duties I had a few hours spare so taking full advantage of the glorious weather I headed up to Scales Tarn and Blencathra with Lins. Here's a few photos from our run:

We ran a leisurely 7km in about 1hr15m, with 654m ascent. The cloud cover that came as we got to the top was most welcome, taking the sting out of the sun and the slight breeze cooled us nicely. On the way down we were bombarded with flies....hundreds of the little blighters which meant I had to run with sunglasses on and mouth firmly closed!
