This post will be brief, because I couldn’t be bothered to write it after running up this (Surrey) hill. So I left it for 5 months, right up until our next planned run in a weeks time. I truly am a slave to my own laziness.
It all started the eve of Halloween (ooooh spooooky) 2020. We were heading down to visit my Mum, as the pandemic restrictions now allowed overnight stays, and it was her 60th birthday the previous day.
I don’t think that there are a huge number of hills in Lincolnshire. According to the Marvelous Map of Great British Place Names, there is Nob hill, not too far from Poke Holes and Fanny Hands Lane. Unfortunately (for my childish brain), none of these are the highest point in Lincolnshire. Rather, it goes by the grand title of Normanby Le Wold Top (oooh, fancy!).
Some time ago during this hill running challenge, I had run up all of the hills that could realistically be reached from Cambridge (except Northamptonshire - the less said about that the better), without spending more time in the car than on the trails.

It’s quite a long way to Wales from Cambridge. It’s not so far that you have spend several days travelling to get there, the UK is, after all, quite small. It is far enough to be annoying to get to though. Getting anywhere from Cambridge used to be a lot worse than it is now (for non-native UK readers: the second most common conversation for Brits after the weather is about roads and traffic; we have a lot of that too).
