Pennine Fell Runners 7th July

Tonight was my first night out running with Pennine. Mrs theoptimisticrunner had insisted that I have a run out with them, she is currently pregnant with optimistic junior v 2.0 but is a keen runner herself so can understand me going there.

It was great to find a new route up Lantern Pike, which is probably my favourite spot round these parts as the views from the top over Kinder, New Mills and further afield to Manchester and the west coast are spectacular. Plus it’s a bit more accessible than Kinder; you can be at the top within 30 mins from New Mills.
