I've printed the 112 ways summary, for now. <br />You reminded me: I did go up Gt Whernside from another place - was it Dent perhaps? There was a cyclo-cross race in progress. This was in the days before mountain bikes were all the rage. <br />Hope your running injury is better soon. Too icy to run here. I pedalled for an hour on the old Zimmerrad yesterday (lit. Roombike).Gwil Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03305768121713053837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-86701245751021617202010-01-11T08:34:29.947+01:002010-01-11T08:34:29.947+01:00Sparker - I don't, I'm sorry to ay.

If you're ever near the Dales, check them out. They're great for running over. One can do a round of Buckden Pike and Great Whernside from Kettlewell or Buckden or the remote round of the Whernsides from Scar House Reservoir at the head of Nidderdale. <br /><br />Still nursing an adductor strain here, so I haven't been out for a jog in the snow. Have been getting out on the mountainbike though to make up for it, through some great snowstorms.Dominic Rivronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02618013365521035400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8881054030497725613.post-34169932938694727282010-01-11T00:22:28.237+01:002010-01-11T00:22:28.237+01:00I've always found the ancient text known as c...I've always found the ancient text known as <a href="http://www.spiritual-learning.com/centering-reps.html" rel="nofollow"> centering</a> more appealing to read.
