Two Lads to Winter Hill Trig bright and Fresh today
http://www.mapmyrun.com/routes/view/64343604
This was a fun run – i love to play with Ice and take my time , it was a beautiful day , not a cloud in the sky but could be very cold in the wind, my dad said it was bright and fresh today !
the pike
towards the mast I keep off the road as my trainers are not good on the road !
lots of people were walking today
two lads
playing with ice
crossing ice , i can run across this but enjoy slipping across this
I am still playing with ice , my dad can wait ! i am near the Ice patch !
I love climbing !
you can see the rocks were covered in frost today
lots of Ice today
I can run across the water -well ice anyway !!!
its still muddy under the ice !
a lone runner
see if i am careful not break the ice !
my trainers are still clean !
the pike
I use this as a navigation aid when its dark – its the boundary wall between Chorley and Horwich
that’s better the trainers are covered – my glove marks where the bog came up to ! Don’t tell mum 😉
on the trigg which was covered with frost and ice – be careful this is not easy !
we went off path
note from dad – this is the terrain that Jake can cover in the dark , please be careful the grass will tire you out and twist your ankle if you get this wrong -what Jake makes look easy is not !
Note from dad :
Note from dad :this is at Jake’s neck height -we don’t normally go this way though i am aware of this as a marker and so we keep well away from this area – please be aware of this if you have limited visibility in fog/sleet/dark ,This has been left in place after the work to upgrade the mast to digital was completed several months ago ,
my dad’s trainer after one small bog !
I have just got out of one bog which was above one of my knees !
getting out backwards from a bog – my dad is teaching me to self rescue myself from these bogs !
these don’t look deep but they are !!!
bog marks above my knees on both legs !!
the two lads !
running down the tramway
4.88 miles per hour including many stops for the ice and saying hello to people !

Hi you two,lucky you..I lived on the Belmont side of the moors and spent many weekends running/walking up to mast, I wasn't quite so young as you Jake! I never realised what a beautiful place this is until later on in my life. I now live in southern Germany and get to the Alps a few times a year, but I ttill love my walk up to mast when I'm home though! Your Dad doing the right thing for sure taking you up there..so much to see!
