Luckily the 'foward party' had [censored] off by the time I got down from CG so there are no pics - I think they may have won the prize if there'd been any.




Pete, I thought you had holly on your head like a Chrimbo pud.


(The censored actually makes that look worse than the word I actually used O0   ;D )

This made me laugh out loud!  That's exactly how it was!  There was over 5 miles of this from Swarkeston to the city centre, I'd have rather there'd been a mountain in the way.
(I'll be entering again in January, except this time I plan to run it...)
 
Ruthr's looks rather glamourous, really.
 
AJ, I think you're correct about your general demenour!
 
(And how can we ever tell if Max is fatigued, or has simply fallen over again?)

Now now Ruth, you know there's a far more appropriate FoF photo of you from that holiday!  I'm thinking of one taken on the walk we did starting at the Crimea Pass.  You gonna post it or shall I?  ;)

Here's one of me from when I tried putting some extra weights in my bag for a bit 'training'

Ha, that was only to keep an eye on the muddy-bum gang (i.e. the kids!), intent on racing their way up the boulder field.  That was towards the end of a 10 day holiday of hillwalking too, so I was probably a bit more hill fit.

I didn't take my boots off there.  It might be the gaiters that make it look like my socks or something  ;) .  I am not sure I would have been brave enough to do that or I probably would never have got them back on again and that was only half way through the day.   ;D

Title: Re: FACE OF FATIGUE.
Post by: sparklebug on 22:00:44, 09/05/12
Most probably lol, it was the first time I used them and just had them where I felt comfortable.  How long should you have them? I suffer with lower back problems so didn't want to use them like a walking stick sort of bending over iywim.
Title: Re: FACE OF FATIGUE.
Post by: aljones27 on 23:07:44, 09/05/12
General rule of thumb as I understand it - arms by sides, elbow bent at 90 degrees. Hold the pole in your hand and it should go vertically down from your hand to the ground (so yes, yours look a little long). Most poles have length markings on them so you can make a mental note of the length and then you can just set them straight to that length on future occasions.




p.s. don't be too harsh on yourself. There is no prize for getting to the top of the hill first. Take as much time as you need and enjoy it. I went walking in the Lake District for the first time last year. Drove up the M6 and caught sight of the mountains and thought "****, am I going to walk up them?!" - the downside of living in the flatlands of East Anglia. The next day I walked up Fairfield. Wasn't quick, got over taken by everyone (pensioners, tourists in trainers etc) but I made it to the top in my own time and really enjoyed the views (when I wasn't in the clouds). Can't wait to get an opportunity to back.

just had them where I felt comfortable. 

Then it sounds like you had them about right!
There's umpteen Youtube videos on the subject, you know when you're getting it right, because it feels like you're really whizzing along with very little effort.

Thank you.
Carlisle to Mosedale 19 miles.
Mosedale to Patterdale 18 miles.
Patterdale to Bowness 15 miles.
Bowness to Milnthorpe 16 miles.
Milnthorpe to Morecambe 16 miles.
Morecambe to Cleveleys 26 miles.


I like to work on an average of 19 - 20 miles a day, I could easily keep this up when I first started. Now ten years down the line, I find that my body is still capable of doing that but I have hit a plateau with boredom. I probably need to walk in different parts of the country for a change of scenery.

Hi Ilona, do you still walk your long distances.? I have been out of action for a four months and only just getting back into things. I have done two eight milers, but found after 6/7 miles, I was tiring and am not sure if its because I`m out of condition or its other factors such as boredom as you mentioned...? Possibly it`s a combination of things with me (I`m 65 next birthday) & I may keep it to 5 miles for a while until I feel stronger..how is your walking nowadays...did you get to see any different scenery.....best..Geoff
