Enjoyed it today. Nice encouragement from BGSec and some more 'robust' words from Stagger ;) Good to see Ady back on the hill and running well. Belting pint of Buttertubs in the Kings :cool:

Aye cheers for the encouragement on the way down DT, managed to gain a couple of places for the firs time on a descent!
Good to see you going well mate. Nice spot for a run out, eh? :)Quote:

Thanks to organisers and helpers, they had a good turnout to reward their efforts.
Oh aye, very nice, do a lot of walking with family around that area, especially Buckden.
Camped there a couple of times. Only an hour from here. :)
Thanks to the organisers and marshalls firstly, quite a lot turned out. That initial slog up to Hag Dike was worse than i remembered and fortunately my knee gave me only mild discomfort but i'll still have to keep off it for a while. Think i spotted a forumite, Ady in Accy; silver hair, tats?-he beat me although i was taking it rather easy as my first foray out in 6 weeks.
Went arse over tit on the flat section above Hag Dike on the descent much to the amusement of a couple behind me, my foot slipped into one of those peaty ruts and i spun out into a stinking bog. Managed to save some face by turning it into a sort-of Judo Roll though :D. Was surprised how fast that young Mel was, sheesh, whatever you do don't start smoking!
Did your shoes last out DT???? Forgot to enquire in the pub (probably 3 more years left in 'em :)).
1st attempt at this short sharp rascal - the summit was a little further off than I expected and for the 1st time in my fell running career nobody actually came past me on the descent - still not got over that!
Thanks to all involved in putting it on, quite a good turn out.
Shoes lasted Ady but are now languishing in my wheelie bin ;) Wonder if I can get 4years out of a pair of X-talons :cool:
Any news on the winner ?
