Just back from a really enjoyable run on the 1st leg. Many thanks to my partner who although sightly quicker than me couldnt have been more supportive, unlike no.96 who hared past us on her own and was then waitng for her partner on the road above Rippoden. If anyone ever tried that with me they would get the baton wrapped round the back of their head:mad:
An added bonus is that as i was up at 4.15 this morning i will probably nod off tonight while my other half is watching X Factor
Thanks to all the marshalls and helpers for a great day
Yeap, a well organised event indeed.
Almost went wrong on leg 3 where you turn off and head past those two sheds before the golf course, but a bingley pair behind us where true gentlemen and shouted us back.
Really enjoyed the route and was supprised how quickly it was over and done with....time flys and all that.
Had a short chin wag with antisocial...what a wonderful fellow indeed, mudders at the startline as he said he would:D, Derby Tup after my leg and then the great man himself...Ian...Dark....Peak! and storyteller., fleeter, stanners and screw-loose turbo.
Reet grand day.
Not surprised Salford made up a place after seeing the speed Roadie ad his partner set off ;)Quote:

Somewhere around 1900 to 2000ft. After tidying my track up, it's just over 1900ft, but a track I have from last year comes in at 2000ft.Quote:

The thought of having to organise something like this gives me shivers, so massive thanks to Halifax Harriers.
Nice to have a quick chat with Derby at Blackshawhead, and Stringman at Wainstalls.
We made up 6 (inc Bingley ladies which we were quite pleased about) and finished within spitting distance of 2 other teams, who I think started a bit before us , so we may have them as well, depends who made up time behind.Quote:

The Ilkley lady leg 4 runners came in about 20 secs before the mass start was due off and there was some stress locating Mrs and partner mid-pack, getting the baton to them and geting them clear of the masses. :eek:
I had about 5 people explain it to me.:oQuote:
