This being my local stomping ground, I have made many passes over this route, including a few failed FKT attempts at the End to end version.
This today was a training run that went rogue - realising at the halfway point that my time was half decent, I gave it some beans on the way back. further expedited by the concern over a fast-fading watch battery, I was happy to bag a PR sub four hour time.
The weather was close to perfect. 14-16deg with only small gusts of wind at the very peaks. Trail was mostly dry, the only obstacle being the huge swarms of school trippers walking the route.
Fuelled by gels, flapjacks and 3 litres of water + electrolyte.
