Have failed at first hurdle - due to a painful back injury I have now missed February's opportunity to get one of these in

Well, managed to clock up a nice 35.8 miles today so have doubled my total points (even though I missed feb). Chorley-Eccleston-Mawdesly- Rufford- Croston-Walmer Bridge- Longton- Hutton- Farington- Leyalnd- Chorley. Snow capped hills all around - chilly breeze but mostly sunny. 1 cafe stop to warm up
