A weekend in Bolton

I stopped  over in Bolton on my way back from working in Reading and took the opportunity to get out on the fells on Saturday morning with JtE. It seems that all the regular UTUPers were ambling ( and in the case of t'Y, rambling), so we had the local fells to ourselves, and very pleasant it was too. We did an anti- clockwise round of the summits and then followed the Pike race descent to the school before returning to the barn. It was great to see JtE again, and despite his protestations to the contrary, he is running well. A good morning all round.


Sunday saw my good lady wife make a return to racing after a gap of nearly 20 years, when she entered the Bolton 5k. It was a good spectator event, and there was a good Horwich turn out, even if the only one I recognised was EYJ. So if anyone Horwich runners ask who was the bloke with a cockney accent cheering them on Sunday, you will be able to tell them.F or the record, SWINW did a few seconds over 30 mins and was 3rd in her age category - but I am not allowed to mention what that is.
