Translation for any non-Lancashire folk - 'Back on the Hill'
Yes, after a couple of weeks on flat ground due to a bad back, I ventured back up the hill today, just for my favourite short loop from home which takes me up through Wilderswood, straight up to Two Lads, cross-country to the mast, cross-country to the Pike, back onto George's Lane and back through Wilderswood home.
It's still really boggy between the mast and the pike and I did sink a couple of times but only shin deep and it didn't dampen my enjoyment of that stretch in the slightest. I do love running across that bit, however only in that direction - the other way is hard work!
Funny isn't it how, even though if you do a loop the elevation is obviously the same no matter which way round you go but somehow, in your head (or at least mine anyway) one way seems much harder than the other. The thought of doing this loop in reverse is not appealing at all, yet I really enjoy it the way I go.
Total distance - 5.5 miles
