I'm doing the long event with my daughter. It'll be the longest run yet for The Tussockmaiden. Might manage to persuade her to don her Fell Pony pink.
It's a well known fact that a Fell Pony vest of any colour make the miles fly by:thumbup:Quote:

Do the long and use Rombalds as a warm down, like me.:thumbup:Quote:

I'm sure I'll be able to drag myself around at a ploddy walk. Looking forward to it.
have entered too! and hope to do Rombalds by post tomorrow. Think I may have to give trigger a miss tho sadly.
We're in, Mrs C in for the long, and myself with the pup in the short, should be a good day out see you all there.:thumbup:

Try and get a few miles (and feet) in on Wednesday then upto Mytholmroyd at sparrowfart Saturday.
How are you getting there Steve? I shall be passing within a mile or two of your gaff on the way... give me a call if you could use a lift... I'll be leaving the dog at home!
If your passing through Ripponden on Oldham Road a lift would be great Simon:thumbup:Quote:

Anyone who has entered the Hebden but definitely can't do it should get in touch with the organisers. There is a waiting list of people longing to take your place - and you could get a deferral or maybe a refund.

Thanks Steve for the new beer song. Think your eyes might be like beer glass number 1 tomorrow after the mud has finished with you. We can control most things but not the weather. Good luck to you and all your forum mates. You are very welcome and your comments on the forum are always interesting and humorous.Quote:

"Thanks Nick. Got your message. Can you put something on the forum to confirm we shall allocate the entry to someone else. We are busy shopping and then setting up the Hall. Bring your Wellies tomorrow
The replacement is Dave Renolds friend of Fiona Johnston. Carole will email Dave with no when she gets home 9ish tonight."
Dave, this is your lucky day. I hope you can make it tomorrow.
Nick.
Thanks in advance for a great day Alan. My eyes are like that before the start, only got 4 hours kip last night for various reasons, bring on the mud:thumbup:Quote:

Hebdens a great event to do ,thanks to organisers and helpers..........I think we got lucky with the weather its lashing it down now.
Thanks Alan and all your helper's, marshall's etc. Brave souls standing for hours in that wind. Had a run, had some beer, had a good time. Mulled wine hit the spot too. Nice to see all the usual faces, great event, 5 years on the trot now and i'll be back for more next year:thumbup:
Thanks Alan and your top team for another excellent day out.
22 Miles; the perfect apetiser for pie and peas, garnished with mint sauce, followed by a generous helping of homebaked plum crumble; served with mulled wine apperitif with and after dinner coffee. We even received at table service. Unbeatable.
Best day out for ages and we were only snapping! Pics at www.sportsunday.co.uk
We had a steady walk round the short route. Thanks to all involved including whoever made the dripping sarnies :thumbup:
Thank you Alan, today was my first Hebden 22 and what a fantastic day, and route. Also, a big thank you to all the marshalls who stood in the wind, and the fab folk in charge of food and drink at the church hall. Brilliant day. Aching and tired but looking forward to next year. Sarah
3rd time at "The Hebden" for me...........would just like to add my thanks to those already posted. A fantastic event, made that way by a fantastic group of people.
All the usual suspects in attendance, see you all at the next one!
Did the long. One of the hardest runs I've done. Largely lack of training. A bit fresh on the tops. Great marshals and the coconut cake at the checkpoints was bloomin lovely - many thanks to all involved. Really enjoiyed the pie and peas. I'll be back next year.
Is this beer and mulled wine en route? This sounds like my kind of event. If you have to wait till you get to the finish for the grub I'm not sure I'm quite so interested.Quote:
