That hill! Or at least the steepest section of it. There's a quarter of a mile of less steep gradient behind me at this point, and another 150yds beyond the brow visible in the picture.
The dog in the picture is the collie known as Dangermouse. He's one of the two dogs belonging to my running companion, and regularly runs with us.
