At the weekend I went to Sussex as I was running a 10k across some of the Seven Sisters. I won't talk about it as it was bleak and I feel bad going on about how horrendous I found it when The Thew covered 34 miles and was out in the freezing cold for over 6 hours. However he is a bit weird and likes challenging himself so I think my effort was pretty good for me. I knew I had been slightly duped when I saw the moto of the company organising it was 'Never, never, never, give up' and that they specialised in the hardest runs in the most stunning scenery. Didn't see that when I agreed to do it! (If this sounds like your cup of tea check out Endurance Life as it does what it says on the tin and is very well organised according to The Thew who has done a lot of these).
Anyway the cottage that my sister-in-law found us to stay in was wonderful and when we got there the owners had left us a homemade Maderia cake. There is a certain joy in being given cake and after a train journey all you want is a cup of tea and cake. Which we did!
I ran over these. I can assure you that they are steeper than they look and gale force wind coming at you doesn't make them any easier.
