Pub Run : The Crown Inn, Humshaugh

Old Country : New Route

A tough but pleasant evening in somewhat muggy conditions taking in some historic countryside above Chollerford. Managed to get back to the pub before the rain really started. The meal afterwards was good too.

Today is the next fell race on my list, The Fastone Falcon, based at the FALSTONE BORDER SHEPHERDS SHOW on the eastern edge of Kielder, the heart of Northumberland. Nearly six miles of steep tussock hillside, forest tracks and spectacular views over the reservoir. I’m not sure I over did it on Thursday, while it gave me confidence I may have depleted reserves, says he packing in another sandwich.
