Recovery, what recovery?

With tight times, we normally get anywhere between 4 and 7 hrs sleep a night in the last 5 days of traveling. But being the theme park, sorry campsite we were in last night, it was a LOT less!

Anyway back to the peaks. This morning we hot footed it up the Old Man of Coniston, once again in the driving rain. It felt colder today, but I think our bodies are still recovering from the day before, up and back in just 1:45mins, that ok for two soar old guys...

Yesterday with our routes of Scarfell Pike and Helvellyn we added another 28.4km.

So far we have covered 85.65km in 21 hrs of running/speed hiking [fancy name for falling over quickly], that might not sound fast, but unless you have tried to run up and off Ben Nevis and Scarfell Pike, jogging around a park for a few miles sounds great right about now.

OK!, eyes back on the prize, 7 down 3 left. The goal is just coming in to sight.
THANK YOU TO ALL THE TEXTs, emails and general support. We don't get much chance to chat so keep checking the blog as we travel.
