Wharfedale TTT Reccie

Thanks to some support from the in-laws, I was able to go across and see my folks today. It is my Mum's birthday, who is now out of hospital and on the mend.

On the way, I'd planned to spend a few hours reccie-ing the Wharfedale TTT course for next Saturday's race. It was a fine day and although quite warm and muggy in the dales it was wonderfully fresh when up on tops.

The route is advertised at about 12.5, and climbs out of Kettlewell, with a bit over the top into the start of the Nidd valley and then back up to the summit of Great Whernside, with a bit of zig-zagging around before returning down to Kettlewell.

I had a great time - really enjoyed it, and managed not to get lost (my map reading is atrocious). It was also a good workout.

I wore my garmin and the route I followed can be found from this link: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/7637484.

Made it to Liverpool for tea-time and to catch up with parents, sister and family.
