Pennine Bridleway Relay

Danbert and Widdy were flying down that path at the end of Leg 3!

The Male Vets managed to keep hold of their lead to the end of leg 4 but having them ahead certainly made me run my socks off. Looking forward to seeing what time Josefa and I posted :eek:

I gather men vets were about 30th and the Mixed team a few places behind.

As for results, apparently these will take a week or so to appear on Rossy but http://www.sportident.com/ might get them out sooner. Can anyone from Rossy confirm that?

This was a fantastic event, thanks very much Rossendale Harriers for your time and efforts (they were well worth it).

Brummy John, the times were being posted up at the finish. I seem to recall Josefa's and your time being about 46 and a half, and the male vets on leg 4 bring just over 46, excellent run !!
As for the male vets, they finished in 25th place overall

Well run NotOnUrHelly i thought you had a strong run yourself considering how long you've been out and your breathing problems.

Just want to say a huge ''Thank you'' to Rossendale Harriers and their team of helpers for another fantastic relay. It’s hard to imagine how much focus and patience is needed to organise the whole event. So thank you again.:cool:

Roger Rabbit - Hope you didn't think i was being ignorant at the end of the leg i was so weary and cabbaged i couldn't talk let alone walk.;)

Danbert - you do it with a smile on your face, that's the most important thing.

Thanks Notlob, I ran out of my skin today and couldn't believe the time Colin was suggesting at the end. What about your 1:14:36 for Leg 5!

Mighty Dale Results are being posted here as we get them and Phil took loads of piccies that are in the cyber dark room being processed.

Try this link to my public gallery for photos of final ascent on leg 3.

Well done to the organisers on a great event.

On a slightly different subject - But a big feature on leg 5 - what does everyone think about the motorcyclists who utterly trash the areas we run in?

What a fantastic day out! Bright blue skies, warm sunshine, really good views. It was a pleasure just to be out there today.
I thoroughly enjoyed my run, and thanks to Lefty, Ducks and the army of helpers and marshalls for making it happen.
