What do we talk about for 9 hours?


22 March training walk from CP1 (Malham) - almost CP3 (buckden) 46km

Hour 1 - in reference to climbing Malham Cove
" blimey that was easy" (Laura)

Hour 2 - at a sign post
" which way is it, I have no sense of direction" (Sue our appointed navigator)

Hour 3 - Top of Fountain Fell
" I hope the camera doesn't fall in that mine shaft" - don't ask!

Hour 3 1/2 - bottom of pen-y-ghent
"god what a massive step up to this style - it must be to keep small people out" Steph and Sue looking at me

Hour 4 - Pen-y-ghent
"I really thought that was fun" Steph in reference to nearly being blown off the cliff on the way up

Hour 5 - at the Three Peaks Cafe Malham
"a pint of tea, can you believe it" Sue

Hour 6 - Somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales
" I hate being lost - well we're obviously not lost lost, just a bit, you know, lost" - Laura loosing her mental faculties somewhat

Hour 7 - - somewhere in the Yorkshire Dales
"I put my jeans on and realised that my muffin tops have gone away, so thats made it all worth it" (speaker shall remain nameless!)

Hour 8 - Just after the enchanted forest
Laura "aaaaaargh, my god, ow, that's, ow, one of the worst pains I have ever had"
Suzanne laughing hysterically "oooooh I told you I find anything funny once I get tiered"
Laura " but I think my toenail might have just come off"
Steph laughing hysterically " you have got me going now"
Laura wanders off chuntering about being glad to make every one happy and falls knee deep in a bog just to ensure her status as slightly useless comedy team member

Hour 9 - possibly near Oughtershaw
"oh I have been reading the map wrong we are miles ahead of where I thought we were"
5 mins later
"sorry no we're not"
silence followed this navigational error until it was all over!
