A glorious day out in the Peak District.
I decided to attempt the route in the build-up to the Lakeland 100 but I hadn't planned on doing it during a heatwave of 27C!
I had hoped it was going to be a bit cooler for the run, and I had decided to run it unsupported to reduce my carbon footprint. I carried two litres of water, and it wasn't enough, by the time I got to Derwent Edge, I was nearly out of water and thankfully managed to find a stream to fill up from. The heat meant my pace slowed down and I only just got under five hours, the plan had been to be 20 minutes quicker.
