Now what was the question?? Whenever I do a long run or fell walk my reward is a nice bottle of beer. Beer contains the perfect mix of sugary carbs, a hint of electrolytes, and a few helpful plant-based nutrients that come from the hops, yeast, and barley. Makes it practically healthy.
At last glimmers of fitness starting to return. Going out and braving the weather. I quite like running in the rain, which is a good job living in the Lake District.

I came here with nothing and didn’t even know where the Lake District was. When you are young and in … More The Perils of getting about in The Lake District
I completely love the life size Herdys which have appeared all over the Lake District. On the sides of roads, hotels and shops.
