Day 4 - Coast to Coast - Crowden to East Didsbury
DAVE....
After a good night in the Crowden YHA in which we nearly fell asleep in our dinner, helped along by a couple of cider's we starting our journey to the dark side of the Pennines (Manchester).
We both felt tired and sore but helped along with some deep heat we got going. John was the first to run today and lucky for him it was raining. The views along the trail were some of the best of the run so far, its nice to see other side of the Woodhead Pass for a change.
Once we got into Glossop we hit the hills and the pain started. We soon switched to and it was my time to run right on a hill (thanks John).
After a slight detour (getting lost) by John we eventually found our way to yet more hills and finally the path went down to the river and some very muddy and wet paths. It was then my turn to take a detour and get completely lost.
JOHN....
On the easy path of the TPT, well signposted, Dave decided to go another way... leaving me waiting on the trail. After waiting for 10 mins I turned back and went looking for him, running to the top of the hill in to Hyde, two workmen said they had saw Dave ride past, I went looking for him but did not find him, so turned back and back on the trail.
After several miles running, I saw Dave, a few words said a clip round the ear and all was straight.
Off we ran, we had a 14:30 pick up at Tesco's in Didsbury to meet Dad, our lift home.
So foot down and rightly directed by me (John) we found our destination.
Thanks to Dad for the lift home.
