Weekend training didnt go to plan

My weekend training that me and @eckafatcat were planning to do this weekend didn’t exactly go to plan and we never made it to Pen y Ghent. For one simple reason and one simple reason only. We weren’t too sure how it was going to be for our two Miniature Schnauzers (Archie & Dylan). We spent most of Friday night looking for walks on the internet and looking for places to go that would be dog friendly. Me personally wanted to go to somewhere that had water falls as I wanted to try out my new Nikon camera and wanted to get some good shots to test it out.

We looked and looked and even looked at staying over in the Lake District in a dog friendly pub that would have allowed them to stay in the hotel with us. We decided against this and decided to travel 76 miles to Ingleton, here you can find the Ingleton Waterfall Trail which is an amazing pretty easy walk where you can see 5 waterfalls in total. You can get some amazing camera shots here and when out of season very relaxing and enjoyable walk.

We got there and the first problem had already started, I got my camera out which I had charged all night long to make sure the battery was fully charged and then when I came to turn it on DISASTER! The battery was dead and when I looked the power switch was set to on, when putting the camera in it’s bag I must have turned the camera on by accident. :( #fail I couldn’t believe it. I ended up taking photos on my iPhone again and the gallery can be found here:

Next time I will be better prepared with the camera and will be taking multiple batteries!

The next training session will be taking place next Saturday, more updates to follow!

My weekend challenge…

Me and @eckafatcat have set ourselves a challenge for this weekend as part of my 3 peaks challenge training.

We are going to go and walk up Pen y Ghent in the Yorkshire Dales, its part of the Yorkshire 3 peaks challenge but I shall only be doing the one this weekend!

The length of the route is around 5km and should be a piece of cake compared to the Pen y Fan one which I recently did.

Photos to come, bought myself a new camera just for the challenge so I can take some decent photos rather than using my crappy iPhone camera!

More to follow!
