3 Peaks Training & CycloCross : Yorkshire Dales

As we are planning to run/walk the 3 Peaks, we picked a wet and cold weekend to go to for a bit of training over the 3 Peaks of Yorkshire and to check out the 3 Peaks Cyclocross Race. Our Yorkshire Dales “Introduction to Trail Running” weekend is in this neck of the woods so we know the terrain well.

Friday was wet and blustery with the occasional chink of sunshine up on Pen Y Ghent and we were up and down the other side within a couple of hours. Phil’s Achilles is playing up so we decided to do 2 peaks, not 3, choosing Ingleborough. Unfortunately the weather wasn't happy with our decision! Oh well, it makes you feel alive.
