Thread: SE Lancs; Boggart Hole Clough

    SE Lancs; Boggart Hole Clough

    Anyone on here running this on Saturday? It should be quite interesting underfoot after all the recent rain. I'll try and get there on time for this one after missing the 2.05pm early kick off at Rossendale in the Red Rose. We're back on a projected 2.45pm start I presume but may just camp overnight just to be sure.

    Not running here doing manchester league at wythenshawe park instead.
    I trained on the course last weekend though doing four laps of it.
    The mud was a good foot and half deep in places and really heavy under foot.
    Good luck.

    Love it Bone, love it. Is that part of the course that runs parallel to Charlestown Road a complete boggy, swampy marsh again?

    It's a testing parkland course is Boggart Hole Clough. I really like it to be honest. Brummie John put his GPS on it for me a couple of years ago...must see if i can find a link.

    yes really boggy.
    You can't beat a good swamp.The whole course is pretty much like that at the minute though. They'll be a few tired legs on the weekend.

    I'll be at Wythenshawe. Last year I ran at BHC twice and it was really boggy both times. This season I ran there in November and was over 2 minutes faster just because it was so much drier. God help those running in the SEL league there - good luck those of you on here doing it!

    Haven't done an SE Lancs for years but have done a few Manchester Leagues, I have to say the SE Lancs courses are generally better than those in the Manchester League.

    That said I should be at Wythenshawe this weekend, i need to do something before the Northerns!

    Sorry to let you down Vince, I'm travelling with my daughter for a few days. I'll lend my mace, net, leather chest shield and SPQR fork to Phil for the day.

    I've just been for a lunchtime run in Boggart Hole Clough. It felt really cold.
