Holy Island

Not the best of training venues, but at least I got out on a beautiful and very windy Sunday morning, and before breakfast! Out with the strong westerly wind, I flew to the castle and then up to the NW point where there is a tall square pyramidal stone navigation beacon. Turned into the wind for a while before heading south again. Eventually had to turn back into the wind and made it to the village for breakfast. All of 7km with 50m climb! The walk on/off the island (5.5km each way) with a light rucksack probably also counts as training. All in a week when my LAMM partner admitted to having had two 2.5 hour runs! The end of the teaching term can't come soon enough.
