What have I let myself in for!

[addictfreak]

Off to the pennines tomorrow for a 50-60 miler. Distance is absolutely no problem, but the climbs will kill me. Going with two lads 20 years younger and both tri-athletes.
I you dont hear from me after tomorrow you know I never made it.

Which bit are you going to?

Starting out from Lanchester in Durham, then out and about around the St John chapel area as far as I know.

It's not that bad. Unless your pals have designs on going up Crawleyside in Stanhop on the way back. It's a bit of a killer. There's also a killer climb out of St John's Chapel if you are going to go towards Langden Beck. Ther's some nice descents to compensate though.
