Training "walk" 5.5km, elevation gain 110m

Today we tried to break our time record for reaching the top of Warden Hill from home.
 
 
Last time we tried we did it in 1½ hours without rucksacks. Today we were carrying full loads and did it in 1 hour 10 minutes.
 
 
We won't be walking that fast in August. (Today we averaged 3mph, but we're planning for 1.8mph on the Ridgeway.) This is all about getting as fit as possible so that the big walk will be enjoyable. Well, that's what Dad keeps telling me.

It was quite windy at the top.
