This is my first Joss Naylor Challenge reccie.
Debbie and I set off to the Lake district at 8 this morning and I was walking out of Pooley Bridge by 10.30, fortunately the beginning of the route passes through a massive campsite close with good facilities for ..er.. comfort breaks..
I suffer with shin splints in my left leg and it has been giving me some real problems recently, focusing on mountain running helps as the pace is much steadier and of course the ground is softer so the chance to get out in the mountains is a real treat and I do love the lake district.
The first leg of the reccie was much tougher than I expected but I'm pretty sure that has more to do with my mental state than physical fitness. 6 hours to Dunmail raise is way off schedule but it was my first reccie and I did get the second half of the reccie just about bang on schedule.
So after a poor start to the day it did pick up and i had a good run. We are staying in the lake district tonight so no traveling in the morning. A good sleep and hopefully Sunday will go as well.

High street (i think)

Found this at the top of the descent to the Kirkstone pass inn, possibly a marker for the Joss Naylor challenge?
