A blog describing the antics of My Dodgy Knee to save me boring on about it quite so much to my supportive friends.

Training...
So... the MSK advice was that "if it still hurts an hour after exercise, you've done too much". Not entirely sure where "it still damned well hurts a week later" fits into that, except that I've probably done further damage. Anyway, I'd booked a guard shift on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway for Friday and as it all seemed manageable, decided to press ahead.
Happily, all went well, confirming that I can still be a guard; I have one more shift booked this year. The weather can only be described as challenging, with Storm Amy arriving. The river Esk and Whillan Beck both rose dramatically during the day, and the drive home was... interesting... I don't think I've ever driven through water (basically the river Duddon) that deep, and I am usually partial to a nice ford. This is a "library photo" of River Mite, which was on my train, as the weather on Friday didn't permit photography!
