just 2 hills.....

Just 2 of the 'hills' on the Old Crown Round... 25 miles, 8000ft ascent,10 hours...Madness!

Would we do it again? would we heck!!!

Poor wet Alfie!

Alfie wishes Jenny would start running again soon...he's getting fed up of the long ,wet walks!

Walking on Hampsfell

One benefit to walking and not running is ...you can take longer to admire the wonderful views! The distant mountains on the skyline are the Coniston fells and the Langdale Pikes.

FRIENDS!

Paula is posting this photo for the pure and simple reason to make Jenny smile!!!

West Highland Way Escapes until The Spring....

After much deliberation, Jenny has decided she'll not be fit to do the West Highland Way in two weeks time....

 

But!  The good news is

 

- Paula and Jenny will be heading up to Scotland in May to do the West Highland Way.

- By the Spring, they'll be faster, fitter, leaner and meaner :-)

- Paula and Jenny have a few things planned to keep them busy during their September week.

- The blog is going to stay live, so you can see what they're up to between now and then.

- By May 2010, they may have ditched banana flavour energy bars and invented Gin and Tonic flavour ones?

 

 

Walk, don't run!

Phil says can he borrow Alfie's lead to keep Paula under control and stop her from running!

* Stop Press*

 

Paula challenges Jenny to her current title of 'Limpy'.  They, of course, settle for Limpy 1 and Limpy 2.....  but which one is which?

 

Limpy 1 and limpy 2 !!

.....and now we've got matching limps! Oh dear!!
A trip to Daphne with the magic fingers tonight...
