Post WHW



Been back a week and a bit now.

Finally the feet and midge bites have finished healing.

Quite lucky with the feet actually, only one small blister.

The views were excellent. As was the company.

Photos here, trip report to follow.

Training finished

With one week to go I've stopped pushing my beaten up body over Harrow Hill (bike) local park (running) and the A.40 footbridge (15kg masochistic lunchtime treadmill).

I feel fit enough but I'm still worried about the feet: I haven't actually done much of yer actual walking.

I can clock 29 x 6 metre climbs in just over half an hour. That's 174 metres. Just over 19% of the ascent of Scafell Pike from Wasdale. If I could work out Tranter's corrections on Naismith's timings, I'll have a more accurate way of gauging my progress.

Just got to organise the food now and pack
