Author:  Bodil With only 43 Munro's to go, the end is coming in sight. In week 9 Lisa and Libby faced one of their biggest challenges, the Cuillin Ridge.

Luna and I drove up Friday night … Continue reading Exploring the Lake District: Coniston Area

Still buzzing from the High Peak Marathon we were, perhaps foolishly, quite casual about the challenge that lay ahead! Early April is slightly before the regular season to … Continue reading Hadrian’s Wall – Running the width of England
