Four weeks and counting

Well, a lot has happened since the last blog. Brexit, the collapse of labour's shadow cabinet, our PM's resignation and the subsequent battle for his job. All very worrying. From the Lanky point of view, I've tried to get some miles in as well as some ascent. Iron Man and I have had some trips up Pendle Hill and the Lakes, basically trying to find the hilliest bits we can. We also did the Pennine 39 which was an excellent low key event, taking in some great scenery in an area I have been remiss in not visiting. No more events planned until the big day. I'm going to try to get out for another longish run with hills, but then ease off again to avoid any risk of injury. For the same reason I've not been on the Board at all. I did, however, invest in a pair of Montane Minimus trousers and a jacket. These pack to less than half the size of my old waterproofs, and weight a lot less too. That leaves more room in the pack for pork pies.
