More running - this time in The Cheviots with Paul Hainsworth on the OMM (Original Mountain Marathon). This 2 day event was held at Clennell Hall near Alwinton. YC has been up most of the hills (Bloodybush Edge, Cushat Law, Hogdon's Law etc) which was an advantage. But he still hadn't explored all the minor peaks and paths of Kidland Forest that the OMM took him to.
It blew a gale at times, which made for a rather exciting/noisy overnight camp, and the print on the map was so small that YC struggled to read it (a minor detail for a navigation event). But apart from that, it was all jolly good fun. We managed to finish 6th overall in the medium score class (not bad for 2 old codgers/vets).
Over a de-briefing pint in The Dolphin, we decided we should do some more events - preferably with a bit more fitness in the tank, as we were both cream-crackered at the end.
And finally, can you name the farm in the new banner photo?
