Skipton to Otley - 18

Pamela very kindly drove me out to Skipton today for my 'long' run. Was scheduled for 2hrs, but the Skipton to Otley route is about 18 miles and took about 2hrs 40mins.

Very hot today, 23/24 plus and towards the end I really felt it.

Otherwise, it was a great run. Starting at Skipton, out through Embsay then over to Bolton Abbey picked up the Dales Way through Addingham to Ilkey and then the dullist bit, the road route back to Otley.

Really enjoyed the section to Ilkley, breezy to start with so took the edge of the heat, then shady, firm trials.....felt rough after I'd finished but soon picked up with a few glasses of Chablis and Monkfish kebabs. Yum!

Makes for 50 miles in total this week.
