Parked opposite the Pub in Swinscoe, and nipped over the 5 bar gate and up the hill to this one, easy really!

Love the trot up to this one from Agnesmeadow Bridge, as you reach the Green Lane, the going
can get tough, as it really does get some 4 x 4 hammer!

I always like a trot up to this one, from Hulland Village, its approx 25 mins out and back, found it really hard to find on my first ever visit to this one, and it seems to be getting even more overgrown!

The day after i had covered legs 1 and 2 of the Bob Graham i got the map out and
planned a few trigs, this was the first of 6 on the day.

I bagged this one on a trip to Recce the Bog Graham Round, what a day on the fells it was!

Tigers Todger - 6miles/850ft

A trip to pastures new, a new race and challenge, always good to put a marker down,

Not fully recovered from the Bob Graham Recce, but wanting to stretch the legs i made my way up into Sheffield to take part in this one, never done it before and saw it a great opportunity to see a few folks and have a run out (i also secretly noticed that i could take a trig during the race)



On arriving i saw that this took in quite a bit of road but also took in a long slow climb up the Limb Valley quick dip onto Burbage Moor, round the Ox Stone's and Trig TP5267 and then.... all hands to the lungs!



all out, full on, "tank it" to the finish off Burbage Moor, and down long lane. A really great race and one that i will be doing again, had a couple of great little battles as well, which made the night.



Legs felt ok, could still feel a lot of long descents in them but i am sure i will be ready for my next assault on Keswick!

Set myself a time of 53 mins for this, and finished in 51min 26 sec leaving me in 187/224.

I have set myself a target of 40 Trig Points in 2011.
This year being my 40th Birthday on 12th October i plan to have reached all 40 by that date.

As i used to live in Nantwich i have looked into getting as many trigs as i can around there. As i was at my parents at the weekend i suggested to my Dad that we went to find this one, really easy trot across the fields to this one.

A great little find that sits between two barbed wire fences, and a badger set.

Took this little fella during the Wirksworth incline Race on 10th April 2011 - a great little annual fell race, counts as points for the Dark Peak local league, so worth a little trot. Tough little climb all the way up to the trig, reminds me of the Black Rocks race which also turns for home at the trig.

Middleton Top Engine House - nearly at the highest point of the race.

Have been running the Blackrock Fell - a great race organised by matlockac.org.uk 5.5miles/850ft race route as training for some time, and the main upping is from the High Peak Junction up to the Trig at BoleHill. Took this one in on the 17th January - later that day i did hill reps with John Birch and the Wirksworth Running Club..

This is on my usual 8 mile route which i just needed to include, i use this route when i just need a trot, but it takes in 6 miles of the Wilmot Wander Route between Quarndon - Bunker Hill and Radbourne Hall. Take this in maybe 3 times a week, but this was on 4th January 2011.
