Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
My first LDWA event, and it certainly won't be my last. Thanks to all the organisers this was a top day out, good food and a good run, can't be beaten!
I clocked it as 25.04 miles.Originally Posted by john doe
The 0.04 was probably were we missed the turn off Darwen moors heading towards Cadshaw.
Great event, well organised.
Especially loved the Tuscan Bean soup afterwards.
Agree, another really well organised even by East Lancs, with excellent home cooked food – really appreciated (is cheese in soup a Lancashire thing?) Speaking to one of the organisers though, this could be the last. Any more info on this?
I'll see if can help to get the results out quicker.
It's the last one the two main organisers are doing. They need successors. I don't think a final decision has been made yet. I'm not volunteering as I expect to have little spare time from September (and have seven weeks June-Aug also spoken for).
Glad that there is a good response to the event.
I was quite surprised to find (when I got to checkpoint 2) that only 91 of the 214 starters had opted for the full course. I was sweeping at the back hence the figures. I wonder what percentage were running. I found it much harder than the Hobble the previous week but that was my fault as I was wearing walking socks which should have gone in the bin a couple of years ago. So I'm left nursing a big blister on my heel which I'll have to rest for a couple of days. At least I've already acheived my target mileage for March
I enjoyed this, my first impromptu outing since Rombald's Stride. I set off on the 18 and made it to CP1 before calling it a day. Both injuries were making themselves felt and there was no point in aggravating them unnecessarily. Many thanks to the supporter who gave me a lift back to base, and many thanks to the outgoing organisers. I hope and pray for replacements so this excellent event can continue.
