Wet and windy weekend wanderings!

Saturday 5th February -
Met Nick and Dave at Peel Park Pub at 2.00pm.
We decided to follow the 'Great Hameldon Hill' Fell race route.
Set off at a steady pace reaching the top of the 'Coppice' feeling ok.
The run to 'Moleside' was good, feeling pretty strong.
The run to the bottom of Hameldon was still going well.
The run along the bottom was very wet! Very boggy! - At times sinking beyond the knee.
Ran to the top of Hameldon still feeling strong.
The run off was great.
Picked up the pace all the way down to the path.
The run back slowed a bit.
Picked it up again on the last climb.
Got home in an hour.
Really enjoyed the run.
Could have taken a good 5+ minutes off that run today.

Sunday 6th February -
Ran from Clough Head Car Park on the opposite side to the reservoirs.
Followed the steady run taken on this side, but mixed up the route a bit.
Up to deep clough first, round the top then down and up the other side.
Followed the run round to the far hill along the Rossendale Way, up the climb, back down then up again for a bit of fun.
Back to the style and down the path past the abandoned quarry.
Across the road and up the hill, pretty steep, but a good track to run.
Did a few hill reps here - felt good.
The run back from this point is a half mile steady up hill drag!
Back towards deep clough up the last climb and steady back home.
Picked it up again for the last mile.
Really wet and really windy.
Stupidly I forgot my watch so the only data I have of the run is it lasted for 65 mins.
Sunday 6th February PM - 
20 mins of turbo.
Tension set at 30. First 3 mins were revs at 80.
Next 5 mins had revs at 90+
Last 12 mins had revs at 100+
A good way to finish off the weekend.
