A Peak District Beasting
Me and my Dad went for a final training session before the (now 200km) Libyan Challenge whixh takes place in about 10 days.
We decided to go for a trek through the Peak District starting at 9:20pm doing a loop back to my house in Sheffield.
Some Stats and things:
Total Distance: 54 miles
Total Time: 22 hours
Total time awake: 37 hours
Temperature: Below freezing (our liquids all froze to blocks of ice)
Total time not walking: 2 hours altogether for eating
Highlight: Perhaps seeing sheep being herded by a sheep dog and its owner
Low point: Realising the final push was another 6 hours when we thought it would be 3.
Physical effects: Blisters, nausea, unstable knee joints, a few hallucinations, untold joy ;)
2:00am zub zero temp steez.I hope everyone is good, keep in touch
