After two weeks of bitterly cold east winds, snow flurries and mammals still in hibernation, easter Saturday brought sunshine, still air, hard frozen ground and bird life making whoopee. I was inspired to run up Lime Craig to take in the views, this despite tired legs from five days running this week, . It was a slow plod, 300 metres of ascent and a round circuit of 11 kilometres is a big ask before breakfast. There was some snow left at the top but the general snow level on the hills seemed to be at about 600 metres.

On the descent I came head to head with the competitors in a mountain bike event, the first customers were zinging along the zip wires at Go Ape and the village was all puffed up with visitors. Now for breakfast.
