<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">To celebrate Billy's 10th year with us, Just For Dogs 20th year and my 50th. I have entered the Lakes Sky Ultra (LSU). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: center;">The LSU is an ultra distance Skyrace. Big distance, ridge running and scrambling.. 'Rock and Run!'.</span></div>

I have set this challenge, in the hope that through the generosity of family, friends, bloggers and blog readers, we can raise as much awareness and money, for Just For Dogs as possible.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2017 is the centre's 20th anniversary and they are in the process of building a new rescue complex with spacious kennels, all with underfloor heating, an annex, for long term dogs, nursing and isolation facilities and more. This adventurous project, may well wipe out all the charities funds, leaving them with a five stare centre but no funds to run it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Any donations, will make a difference in creating a safe haven for many thousands of homeless dogs. who in the future, like Billy did, find themselves abandoned, lost and alone.....</div>

Another brilliant <a href="http://www.minimountainmarathon.co.uk/home.html">Rab Mini Mountain Marathon</a>. The timing was perfect for me. Two weeks before the <a href="http://www.greatlakeland3day.com/">Great Lakeland 3Day</a>. It gave me a chance to run on proper Lakeland fells and to see if I could remember how to read a map.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
For some, these four hour score events are an introduction to mountain marathons. Others come to test there speed, navigation and mountain skills. Whatever the reason for entering, everyone seems to have a good time. Me included.</div>

<br />
Slick organisation, friendly marshalls, and a great route rounded off with; pie and peas, tea and cake. The sun even put in an appearance.<br />

That was proper hard. Mike and I sat shell-shocked and weary, after 12 hours and 14 minutes of Marmot Dark Mountaining. Gazing into space, with 1000 yard stares. We had both decided<b> 'never again'</b>.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.marmot-dark-mountains.com/" target="_blank">Marmot Dark Mountains</a>(MDM) has been going since 2013 and like other mountain marathons, is a mountain navigation race. The big difference is, 1.that it is in Winter and 2. we had to race through the night.<br />
<br />
Being navigationally challenged, I probably wouldn't have entered, until Mike got in touch and said 'shall we'? We had not raced as a team before, but had bumped into each other on a few other events. I said yes as I know, Mike is a good navigator and most importantly, we got on with each other. A big, if not the biggest consideration, when choosing team-mates.<br />
<br />
The question was would we still get on, after a long winters night, in the hills?........<br />

30th of January 2016, 22:30 hrs. We collect maps and head out, into the cold windy night. We make our first mistake, almost strait away. A wrong turn, before we have even got out of the village. Hey ho! All we can do is laugh it off and crack on.<br />
After that embarrassing faux pas, the first 3 controls are easy enough to find. I am guessing the course planner, planned this, to ease us into the event.<br />
Control #3 to #4 was a different matter. We fail miserably to follow a bearing and completely missed the re-entrant, we were aiming for. At this point I would normally have spat my dummy and given up.<br />
Fortunately Mike is made of sterner stuff and unlike me, can navigate properly also he knows how to re-locate*.<br />
<br />
Onwards and upwards. Control #5. Straightforward, follow the path to Skiddaw House. Control #6 straightforward but very steep and a bit slippery. Splat! The face-plant was fast, probably the fastest I move all night (Note to self; it's icy).<br />
#7 went well. #8 starts well, then we have another diversion. To be fair, we are up on the fell tops and the weather has changed.<br />

It is now snowing, switching to hail then back to snow again and as you would expect at 600 meters up it is much draftier (check out the <a href="http://www.marmot-dark-mountains.com/media/2016-films/" target="_blank">Event video</a>).<br />
We miss the path, that we were aiming for. After realising something is wrong, we loop back on track. Mike's relocation skills save the day( night?), again.<br />
At this point, the snow is blowing strait into my eyes. It hurts. Thankfully, I have brought my new reading glasses. Middle age myopia, saves the day. It's blurry but I can see enough to follow Mike.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We climb up onto the hilltop, where control 8 should be, scan round 360 degrees. No control. We lower our gaze, down to knee height. Amusingly, the control kite is almost touching distance. Big up to Mike's Navigation again.<br />
<br />
Mike leads the way again. Contouring around, to control #9. A quick paddle in the river (Thanks Cource planner, Charlie) and a climb, up to #10 at Lingy Hut.<br />
<br />
We have been out so long that it is now daylight, making the rest of the nav straightforward. Even for me. Just a long slog back, via the last four controls. It is less than 10k, but becomes a cruel, grind and even I no longer find my crap jokes funny.<br />
<br />
At last we reach Mungrisdale and the finish line. A marshal hands us both, a much needed hot cuppa and thankfully we can stop. <b>Wow!</b> that was hard. We are both totally, kippered! No euphoria, just relief that it is over. We are finished. We are dead last in our class and only just before the course closed but at least we finish. This year only 54% of starters, got to the finish line.<br />
<br />
One week later, Mike and I remember Marmot Dark Mountains as, a fun night out. A month or so later, Mike has put an entry in, for Marmot dark mountains 2017. Nuff said.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>A BIG THANK YOU </b>to all the Marmot dark mountains team. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
See you next year.</div>

*Unfortunately, while relocating on the way to #4 we clipped an out of bounds area. We reported this to the RO as soon as we finished. Magnanimously, the RO did not disqualify us. See Race Directors report. Thank you Shane.<br />

A funny day out. Being up out in the hills, on a cold, wet, windy day, is what I do for fun. Which is why I surprised myself, by turning around and heading home, for an early bath.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://www.minimountainmarathon.co.uk/" target="_blank">Rab Mini Mountain Marathons</a> are score events. four hours, to visit as many controls as you can. There are penalties for finishing late, the later you finish the more severe the penalty. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 to 5 minutes late- 1 points per minute</li>
<li>6 to 10 minutes late- 2 points per minute </li>
<li>11 to 15 minutes late- 5 points per minute</li>
<li>16 to 30 minutes late- 10 points per minute </li>
<li>Over 30 minutes late- All points lost </li>
</ul>
The reason I headed home had nothing to do with points. After two hours, I just turned around. Quit, gave up, I had, had enough. My legs were ok. Feet were a bit cold but they have been much colder.<br />
<div>
It was all in my head. Not a DNF, more like, could have done better. Should have done much better.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Could a, should a, would a. Hey ho! Onwards and upwards.<br />

Mikk's mission- To celebrate his 30th year was; a 30k trail/fell run, a 30k road bike ride and a 30k mountain bike ride. A proper mission.<br />
Mikk Kindly invited me along to share in the celebrations. Not being a banana powered 'machine', I opted to just tag along on the run.<br />
The route for the run was planned by Glen. Glen is at the elite end of the fell running scale, although he would probably never use the E word to describe himself, a solo Bob Graham and being able to run Simon Fellmonkey ragged, says he is.<br />
I really am not worthy to run with these Two and proved so, by bonking at about 20k. Fortunately this didn't prevent Mikk from completing his mission(Respect). It certainly didn't stop me enjoying myself.<br />
<br />
Happy 30th Mikk ans a big thank you, to you and Glen for the guided tour of the Eastern Peak District.<br />

Unfinished business. I missed out on visiting Bowfell, twice this year. First at the <a href="http://sbrtrfr.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/its-grrrrrreat.html" target="_blank">Rab mini mm</a>. This was a score course and I ran out of time. A month later at the <a href="http://sbrtrfr.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/its-grrrrrreat.html" target="_blank">GL3Day</a> , the bad weather course missed out Bowfell.</div>

Trial!.... That was more like purgatory. Only joking, the 2015 <a href="http://www.ldmta.org.uk/homepage.html" target="_blank">Lake District Mountain Trial</a> (LDMT) was one of the hardest but most enjoyable events that I have done and that was just the Medium Trial. Massive respect to those doing the Classic(long) Trial.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
</div>
Usually the LDMT falls too close to the Rab Mountain Marathon for me to enter. My legs are not strong enough, to do two big events so close together. No Rab MM for me this year, meant I had the chance to enter this classic. Silver linings and all that.<br />
Disappointment at missing the Rab MM, was well and truly blown out of my mind, up on Rossthwaite Fell and Glaramara. This was not a consolation race. It was the 'dogs danglies'<br />

This is how The 2015 LDMT happened, from inside my head.<br />
A relatively relaxed start. I drove up the night before stopping at <a href="http://www.caledoniaguesthouse.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Caledonia Guest House</a> in Penrith. Like I said relatively relaxed; no early morning, get up and long drive to the startline, just the usual sleepless night, of pre race excitement and self doubt.<br />

Start line butterflys are tamed, slightly, by chatting to Adam (Adams <a href="http://www.pudseybramley.com/2015/09/la-sportiva-lake-district-mountain-trial-2015/" target="_blank">Race report</a>). The butterflys had been well and truly radged up by looking at the entry list. It's a who's who of fell running ledgends; Nicki Spinks, Joss Naylor, Wendy Dodds, Steve Birkinshaw, Helene Whitaker, Rhys Findlay-Robinson.<br />
I really am 'not worthy'.<br />
<br />
The butterflys are released as I dib at the start-line and run towards Stonethwaite. Friendly Marshals, marshal us across the road and issue us with pre marked maps.<br />
Up on to the fells and into the clag. A steep and slipery path leads me to my first navigational error. Apart from time stood still, checking where I went wrong, it doesn't loose me much time. It is still annoying and unnerving.<br />
A few of us concertina together. In spite of starting at timed intervals, the clag and confusing ground cause us to bunch up. Slowing or stopping to concentrate on map and compass, lets later starters catch up. Some converging from unexpected directions (at least I am not the only one taking the scenic line).<br />
After a few false hopes, the Crag Foot, of control #1, looms out of the miasma. That's better. It always feels good, to get the first one. The butterflys can now go back into hibernation, till the next start-line.<br />

The nav for control #2, Boulder at the bottom of Allan Crags Ghyll, is much easier, especially as the clag has lifted. The low cloud is clearing but there is still just enough to add a little drama to the views.<br />
Steep and tricky underfoot, the descent to the valley floor means one thing. The only way is up.<br />
A short but steep climb up to Esk Hause<br />

On the Esk hause path, a small herd of grinning fellrunners come hurtling downhill towards me. At first I think they are LDMTers. It turns out to be Jim and friends <a href="https://www.facebook.com/run365parkinsonsuk/timeline" target="_blank">Running every day in 2015 for Parkinsons uk</a>. Good on ya Jim!<br />

Still on the path, I chat to the lady above. I mention that most events I do are score courses, as opposed to line courses like the LDMT. She says that "Line courses can be less stressful, because you are not clock watching, so you can enjoy the day more". Which makes me smile. I think that is a great way to look at things.<br />
<br />
My legs are tired, my back hurts and so does my brain. All I want to do is sit down, somewhere comfy, have a nice cuppa tea and to plan the rest of my route properly. Failing that, give up and go home.<br />
I tell myself to 'stop being mardy'. I am almost at control #3 out of 6, nearly half way. Turning back wont be much less painful than carrying on. Wrong! My foot slips between two rocks. The rocks are much harder than my shin. Ouch!.<br />
<br />
'Woo hoo!' I make a good route choice to control #3 Tarn, just below Great End. A lovelly spot with beautiful views across The Corridor Route towards Great Gable. Wow!<br />
<br />

Happy again. Down and up again. Down to Styhead Pass and up towards the col, between Great Gable and Green Gable.<br />
Bad route choice/Nav error two. Maybe I was enjoying, running down the scree, too much or maybe I am just a muppet. The result is, instead of following the Mosses Trodd, round to contro #4 Innominal Tarn. I do a down and up. Wasting both time and precious energy. When I realise my error, half way down Brown Tongue, I am annoyed with myself. A bit fed up but resigned to my fate. 'Ho hum'. I plod on stoically. Steve Birkinshaw passes me, on the way up Loft Beck. He hasn't made an error, he is on a different course(the long/classic).<br />

Control #5 is a straightforward, one and a half k shuffle. Friendly marshals take my race number and offer words of encouragement. From here it is all downhill to control #6 and the finish. Normally. I love descending but tired legs take some of the fun out of it. It doesn't matter, I am on the 'run in' now. As always the run in seems to take forever.<br />
<br />

<br />
At last the finish line. All finishers are treated to live commentary. I am too kippered, to take in what the man on the mike says. I am just glad to stop running.<br />
I have now stopped running but can't stop grinning. I am not the only one. There are lots of happy faces.<br />
<br />
Checking the finishing positions, this may have been one of my worst results, but it has been one one of the most enjoyable events, that I have done.<br />
This has been my first LDMT, I am sure it wont be my last.<br />

The landscape artists of ancient China, would often put a tiny Daoist master or a Confucian scholar in their paintings, to show perspective and the insignificance of us humans.<br />
<br />
If they had 21st century technology, they would have used, the shoe selfy.<br />

The cheesy grin says it all. This was the BogRock Partnerships first evening Mini Mountain Marathon (MMM) and they did us proud.<br />
Starting from the <a href="http://www.theolddog.co.uk/" target="_blank">Old Dog Freehouse</a>. The course planners, planted controls either side of Dovedale and sent us out to visit as many as possible, within a 2 hour time limit.<br />
It turned out to be a great way to spend Friday night, rounding it of with a half of very refreshing, pale ale.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
The <a href="http://www.greatlakeland3day.com/" target="_blank">Great Lakeland 3Day</a>(GL3D) has become my <b>Big</b> event of the year. Big, not only because it is at least a day longer than anything else I have done, but big because it has become my favourite event of the year. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Traditionally, UK mountain marathons(mms) are, two day fell races, with challenging navigation and an overnight camp. There is an emphasis on self sufficiency and all the kit needed for the two days, tent, food etc, has to be carried. The routes take competitors off piste and over 'interesting' terrain. Interesting as in, all the stuff you would avoid on a normal day out, plus lots of ascent, descent and probably my least favourite, contouring.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The GL3D do their mountain marathons differently and not just by adding an extra day. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Quoting Race organiser, Shane Ohly "<span style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a29; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16.2000007629395px;">The planning brief is to design journeys through the mountains that are following classic and natural lines including long ridges, valley trails and a mix of iconic and rarely visited mountain summits."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The GL3D team really do go the extra mile. Even the night before the race Food, beer, and free camping were available. There was also a screening of a couple of running films.<br />
<br />
Overnight camps are also very different. Sociable and fun, are not words usually associated with mountain marathon camping, but again the GL3D team were the perfect hosts<br />
A large marquee, cheerful marshalls, hot water, cake, a raffle, with a chance to win prizes provided by event sponsor <a href="http://lowealpine.com/uk/" target="_blank">Lowe Alpine</a> and beer. All go to make the camps enjoyable.<br />

Down and back up again to #12 (small Summit) on Rossett Pike.<br />
I would like to pick off the control on Bowfell but I am not sureif the 40 points are worth it. It is a steep climb and I am not sure if I will have the time or the energy.<br />
Nah! leave it. Head for #6 (sheepfold, Support SOS point)<br />
Check my watch.The four hours time allowance is ticking away, it is time to head back to the finish, picking off whatever controls I can.<br />
<br />
Next #7 (small pond) above Neckband Crag<br />
Down the steep rocky ground to #4 (top of hill). It is difficult and slow going, especially with tired legs.<br />
I bump into Mike on the way down<br />
<br />

<br />
I spot control #5 (yet another Sheepfold) on the way down. Map and compass are great tools but so is the mk 1 eyeball. Don't forget to keep looking around. Check out the lay of the land and plan ahead.<br />
<br />
Mike and I jog along the Cumbria way. Mike is good company and it is nice to run with someone. It helps to forget my tired legs.<br />
Mike heads strait on to the finish, he is running short of time. I head back uphill for #19 (wall corner).<br />
It is only a few 100 metres but my legs a tired, it becomes a slog.<br />
I follow the wall, a sheep trod leads me to a hands on easy scrambly bit of White Crag then down the footpath, past The Old Dungeon Ghyll and a very slow jog to the finish line.<br />

Someone gets a lift, in the air ambulance. I am sure that is cheating. Thankfully it is nothing serious and everyone is ok.<br />
<br />
I finish with; 6 min 46 seconds to spare<br />
220 points<br />
10th mv 40+<br />
38th of 140 finishers.<br />
<br />
Cool! that is better than I thought I had done, but still 190 points less than winner, Steve Birkinshaw.<br />
<br />
Soup and a cob (roll), followed by tea and cake.<br />
<br />
Call at Chaple Stile, for a box of Bluebird beer.<br />
<br />
Stop at services for coffee and Krispy creame doughnuts. The Doughnuts are to share with Mrs sbrt.<br />

Congratulations to my friend Simon aka The <a href="http://fellmonkey.com/about/" target="_blank">Fell Monkey</a>. Simon is a running friend, a blogger who can actually write (not a semi illiterate caption/pun scribbler, like myself), a top ultra runner and all round good guy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
On top of that he is now an <a href="http://www.ashmei.com/2015/03/meet-simon-green-new-ashmei-ambassador/" target="_blank">Ashmei</a> Ambassador. I presume this means he now has a full support crew of; phtographers and ghost writters on blogging duties. He will also have an endless supply of shiny new, clean kit to wear and a flock of humming birds to fan him, on hot days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Best of all he will have pack of lesser runners to do all his training for him. Simon can just turn up and look good for the photo-shoot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Of course I am only joking. You don't get to be as good as Simon, without a lot of hard work and dedication. Well done mate, you deserve it.</div>

From sea level in the resort of Costa Adeje to the imposing 1003m Roque del Conde. An out and back route, via Picos las Americas, Arona and Vento. Stunning views and even a littte drizzle to make me feel at home. In fact it was just like <span style="text-align: center;">the Peak District, just more; volcanic, drier, Canarian and spiky cactusy.</span></div>
