A bit hilly!



Trailwalker Training Walk 9 - 22/03/08 with Katie - 10 miles up Box Hill, down Box Hill then the same again. Av speed 2.96 mph. Total vertical ascent 1630ft

Damn it was hilly! But a good workout it has to be said. I didn't win myself any friends by parking at the bottom of Box Hill as a starting point, but the morning was a beauty to start with and the views over Denbies and the villages around was well worth the effort required to get to the top!

The weather got a bit more miserable but fortunately it never rained, just felt cold and miserable when in the shade or under tree cover.

It was good to walk a new route for a change, and nice to do Box Hill for once. Katie will be the first to admit sh slows up a bit on hills but there's never any hesitation, and a couple were fairly steep. Overall a good workout and one I think we should do again.

I'd really like to get down onto the South Downs Way but its an hours drive each way and I think we'll have to wait til we are doing longer walks which will make the time spent travelling more worthwhile!
