First Timer, Stockport

[cyclops]

Pennine had our annual mini rely - 4 person teams running from Ladybower dam back to hayfield, always a great night. Midgies were desperate last night, what was it like up on Kinder?

Yeah, we saw quite a few Pennine relayers in the Royal after our run - there was talk of joint events like that being organised sometime. Kinder was totally midge free thankfully. However...there was some dampness*


*read as very very very wet and claggy (but good to be out and being social obviously)

Ooh a joint event would be great idea. I saw quite a few Glossopdalers in the Royal last night.
My legs are covered in red bites from those blasted midges.

We should do one against each other based on pubs start at the Royal Oak in Glossop first leg to The Grouse then The Lantern Pike, The Lamb and a final dash back to The Royal - the losing club gets the beers in!!!!

sounds like a plan developing!

Why not join the second oldest Club in the world Cheshire Tally-Ho! Hare and Hounds?

Thames Hare and Hounds were formed in 1867.

I think you might find these claim to be older 1860

There's Stockport Harriers too!

And, if you work in Hale, there's Altrincham And District AC. We do track and field, road and fell. You'd be welcome at Timperley Track 7pm Tuesdays to find out more. Ask for Don.
Our fortnightly fell runs (Short, medium and long groups) have different organisers and different venues each time and are followed by a visit to the nearest pub for a drink and meal (Optional). You can find more details on the website www.altrincham-athletics.co.uk

Lantern Pike Fell Race was my first fell race. I remember Ricky Wilde won it, but i still remember the realisation dawning on me that i was way out of my depth, which wouldn't have been difficult in those days as i'd have been out of my depth in a bird bath in the fields back then.
