I know every inch of the path. Shortly before we returned to the UK in August I ran the entire length of the valley for my first 5 kilometre run.<\/p>\n<p>While we were in the UK I did another programme which got me up to 10 kilometres. It follows therefore that I ought to try running up the valley and back in one go. Val, Jennifer and Rich got the bus along to Stechelberg, and I started running. They&#8217;re going to walk back to Lauterbrunnen. I intercepted them just after Schilthornbahn. Val got a nice pic of me coming up the hill.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180903_182306.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-5471 alignnone size-full\" width=\"1671\" height=\"1170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180903_182306.jpg 1671w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180903_182306-300x210.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180903_182306-768x538.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mikeeasley.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/20180903_182306-1024x717.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1671px) 100vw, 1671px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not long afterwards my watch told me it was time to turn around and I headed back towards Lauterbrunnen.
