That would be good Rosehip but do it as a training run not a race. If you can do less laps on the looped run again as training it would be perfect. |

Fragile Do Not Bend
Well, I would never have thought of stock cubes as something for the kit list, might be tastier than salt tabs. bbc.co.uk |

I just read that on FB, I'm not sure I could manage that, but easy to carry & light. Maybe I need to try it.

To be fair, the person who recommended it to her was Lucy Colquhon - no slouch she either (West Highland Way record holder since 2007 - never yet broken). G

Ohhh how exciting it makes it all the more inspiring when it’s not a professional runner - not taking anything away from a pro it’s all down to hard work, but when that hard work is on top of a job, raising small children it’s mind blowing.
