Bottle the Malverns please
Inspirational run today -Â along the Malvern ridge from North Quarry down to British Camp and back. It should have been a bit further, but I didn’t print out enough map, so was worried about getting lost! That was far enough anyway, what with the 1700′ ascent, and some of those ascents were hard work. Two groups of walkers shouted wierd things at me, something about a license plate (? - didn’t understand that one), and something else completely unintelligible in the gale force wind on the ridge. The promised snow didn’t arrive, so it was a glorious sunny and freezing day with views for miles around. This reminds me, if I ever need reminding, why I run - you’ve got everything you need to hand, you can travel distance with no car, no bloomin’ shopping bag, no jacket, not worry about getting muddy or wet because it simply doesn’t matter. Just some dried mango, or jelly babies, and a bit of water, though I didn’t touch a drop today. Oh, give me the hills!
