    Next Heptonstall Recce?

    Following the fun we had with 17 forumites reccing on 2nd Jan (organised at only 2 days notice) it has been suggested we put a few more in the diary with a bit more notice!
    A few of us will be running the route on different weekends over January; the usual format is to meet about 07.50 to start at 08.00. Steady running usually gets you round in just over 3 hours, then its back to the White Lion pub for free soup and rolls and a pint.
    Those who want to cut it short can bail out at 10 miles (close to village).
    The race diary is pretty busy so the main options this month might be this Saturday or Sunday (7th/8th), Saturday 14th, or Sunday 29th.
    The recce/pub/free food combo might make an excellent social for your clubmates - let me know if you would like me to set something up with the landlord.

    Will post Jedimaster's photos to show some of the sights on the Jan 2nd round;


    Let me know if you would like to run on any of the dates above.

    Hi Trig. I might be up for this weekend or the 29th. Not the 14th though as I've running the Trigger on the 15th. I'll check out Mrs Splatcher about this weekend when she gets back from work.

    An excellent choice Andy; Sunday 29th works for me (but not the Saturday). Lets see if we can rope a few more in to make it worth ordering the soup.

    What sort of pace are you?

    Well normally I'd say middle of the pack, but I'm not sure that applies to the sort of pack that roams Calderdale. I ran the Hebden last year in 3:53 - I'll probably be a few mins slower this year as I'm still finishing off the Xmas cake. 5:20 in last year's Hobble. I'm not so fast over the tussocks though!

    Sounds about right for those who run these recces - looking forward to a good group turning out in Weavers Square on 29th. (think I might've been just ahead of you at 2011 Hebden) Have you entered for 2012?

    Yes: number 8. I'm keeping an eye on the Hobble website as well, as entries are supposed to open today. I've got the 29th in my diary.
