Bugger,



MJ has a lot to answer for, knees,ankles,thighs, backside - all sore after our 12 miler on Saturday. The walk was fine until he got us lost and we ened up at the bottom of a 1 in Something hill and abit of alpha male competition crept in.



Still no pain no Gain. One thing is for sure 12 miles up and down is a lot different from the 15 we did on the flat. Mental note to self "south downs way" not all downs....



CJ and DT absences were noted, DT decided to kick-start (yes we know we have left it a bit late) his training plan by going for a run, apprently he purchased a brand new pair of trainers and went for a 2 mile run and feet ended up in bits. So guess he is re-thinking the training plan. Ceratinly an imprevement on plan one where he turned up in a pair of sherpa tenzing leather mountaneering boots, jeans, sweatshirts and his ski jacket!



Still need to get some shoes the boots are too stiff and the trainers unsupportive, will pop down to snowand rock later and see whatthey say.
