Calendar Crags

New Year and the first race is cancelled due to icy bits at the start and finish. The rest of the course was reported as good and after eating the post race hot Apple Strudle and Christmas Pies 15 or so of us set off for an easy run round.

Tip toed over the icy footprints on the lower track, the ice also gave me an excuse to take it easy on the initial steep zig zags. After a few minutes the ice gave way to snow for a delightful run in the sun under blue skies as views opened up all round.

Stopped to take some pictures at the top of the Crags then took off after the others, plenty of grip in the snow as you wind your way down through woods to a single track road. The road rolls down towards Calendar but you leave it for forest tracks back to the start, the last 100 yards a bit icy.

Finished in 38 minutes, a bit slower than race pace. A nice run to start the year.
