Haworth Hobble

[Mountain Goatess]

Same.I loved it too although the last 12 were much harder, hillier, colder- had to dig deep to keep going. Lost my map at cp1 and was terrified i would get lost so had to keep up with and follow others-think I followed you for a bit mountain goatess-were you in a green jacket?? Thanks!!! Very pleased to finish just under 6.30. Thanks to Brett for late entry and all the wonderful marshalls, helpers and kids selling cakes.First ever ultra in the bag whoop whoop

Yes, that was probably me! Well done us on our first ultra! :thumbup:

Well done MG, that's a brilliant time. 32 miles is a very long way. Hope you get your Garmin back but I'm sure you will.

Hi Craig, regarding route choice we just followed the lads in front, call it extra training. Enjoyed the event and it was a first for me to be running whilst eating hotdogs and doughnuts. How about yourself?

Thanks Linda, wasn't sure what a 'good' time is but I guess just doing it is good! You did better than good though, excellent work for a sub 6, well done you!
I got my Garmin back (it was in my bag all along....must have done a man search the first 3 times i looked for it!)

Must have been a bad day for losing Garmins: Mark Robinson (Protodoc) just called me from work - yes, on a Sunday - and asked me to post here, turns out he left his Garmin eTrex 30 at the school afterwards, he was sitting up near the registration desks. If anyone finds it could they PM either me or him directly? Ta.

Well, now I have done the Haworth Hobble, I am very proud of myself! The route looked a little daunting on Google Maps, but now I have done it what a great feeling.

Many thanks to all the marshalls along the route, and all the helpers at the start and finish, also.

Myself and my running partner cycled to Haworth from Leeds but only made it as far as Bingley on the way back, wisely modifying our plan in light of worsening weather conditions. The Midland Hotel, closest to the railway station, had radiators and beer!

We were joined by Meg who met us there and she had a great run, also.

MWIS are currently predicting blizzards on Saturday...

That sleet in a stiff breeze after the last CP was a blizzard then was it?
I hadn't realised that I'd been in so many blizzards before.
The weather was bad enough to make it feel heroic but not bad enough for serious suffering or even to put long trousers on.
Another great day out on a super course.

The forecast wasn't that far out - we certainly had blizzards in Swaledale!
