Can't imagine I'm the first, but I may as well get the ball rolling. Started up Sale Fell in the dusk at about half eight. Had to put the light on through the woods and kept it on the rest of the way. Half (ish) moon out and still fairly warm.
taking mine out tonight. should be back before I need it but best to be preparedQuote:

If you ran faster you could have followed the people who knew where they were going :)Quote:

Brilliant Headtorcher last night up on Kinder with a few club members. Blackden to the trig, over to Golden clough and into Grinsdbrook. Up to Hartshorn via a hard line up steep bracken and rocks. Back over the plateau And down Blackden moor to the start. 5 miles 2 hours!

Just sneaked in my last run without a head torch last night, beautiful sunset with glorious light. Looking forward to the next few weeks of this before it's fully into the inky darkness.
Got lost on my Tuesday night hill reps. Ive done the reps well over a hundred times! Cold but clear out with a huge moon. Slowly getting a bit of strength back after a year shaking the pie tree very hard
Belting start to KCAC winter White Lion season. Rain, mud and free food courtesy of the White Lion
First of SROC's Street O League in Blackburn tonight
Grindleford, Burbage etc last night. Lovely running autumn evening. wet and windy in the second half but a great run. 9.5 miles 2 hours.
I missed both runs as I was out teaching. you'd already gone by the time I got home:(Quote:

Could have done with some help finding a decent line!Quote:

3 'torchers in 3 nights. Wheezing Donkey, I'm being good
Whoa there Andrew.Quote:

To get back on thread:-
Had a head torcher around Beacon Fell on Tuesday and will be doing hill reps on the lower slopes of Clougha tomorrow evening.
Missed tonight's club outing to "The Bat Cave" due to getting a good drenching on todays CTC ride and needing a long hot bath!
Ian.
Took a dozen 'Barley badgers' up Pendle again this week. Bit misty on the top but still managed to find the right line from the trig to Bill Smith's stone at CP4 / 11. A good run out for about 90 mins followed by necessary rehyration in the Pendle Inn.
Bit of advice for anyone thinking of going up Pendle tonight ~ DON'T it's Halloween and you might get plagued by the Pendle Witches........... or mabe the usual townies in their skimpy shoes with carriers bags full of tins of cheap cider.
I've heard the Barlow Mow re-opens tonight so I'll give it a try after my usual pint of Moorhouses Pride of Pendle in the Pendle Inn. :)
right where do I start what I want to is thanks for everything but I can make my own decisions not all of them the right ones but I don't think ive deserved the mind games for the last 2 years I came on here hoping I would be to some help to others as well as them to me but not expect to be set up like I have been which will be dealt with in due course
what I do want is to be cleared of everything and the gates to be opened
Finally kick-started my after-dark running last night with an 8 mile stumbly affair over local hills. I tell everyone I know every bump in the paths up there but that didn't seem to stop me tripping a couple of times on the run :rolleyes:
The Barley Badgers had another great outing last night on Pendle. It was wet & breezy in the valley, but torrential on the tops. Horizontal rain and wind on your face at 50mph (ish) made for a great trip down 'Character Building Lane'. We finished off running past Upper Ogden reservoir ~ the inlet sluice was all under water and the main drainage channel down the dam was a magnificent sight. I've never seen so much white water since the OMM 2008.
The rest of my Clayton colleagues will be out at 11.00am today up Pendle whilst I'm working :-( ~ but they won't have as much exitement as we did last night.
Five and a half wet miles last night across fields and canal towpath. First run for 5 weeks, pain free, happy days:)
5ish miles round the 20 Barriers race route last night, SROC's Street O at Ormskirk tomorrow night. Good to be back after a few weeks out
Just a quick run over the moor tonight - more of a moonlighter than a headtorcher!
The moons very nearly full and there's still plenty of snow around so lots of natural light, enough to plod along by. I really enjoyed it, and so did my dog!
Excellent night for a run! Got to the woods and me headtorch wouldnt turn on. Flat battery. Didnt even need it and had a brilliant run in the dark for 45 mins.Quote:

As one of our lads insists, we are certified "ginnel gynaecologists".
Heading towards no more head torch territory.
Lovely run out tonight, clear skies, Milky Way, crescent moon. Wonderful.
A bit damp tonight for SROC's Street O event at Longridge, just 2 left at Bolton and Fulwood
even damper on Howden last night 12 hardy DPers in 5m vis...truly hard navigating, we missed one cp after a 1,500m on a bearing by only 20m but never saw it.
Very little snow now but very wet.
Lovely star and moonlit run around Nidderdale last night, started at Middlesmoor and went across to the North side of the Dale, then picked up the Nidderdale Way down to Scar House res and back. Cold, but highly enjoyable. Pretty lonely up there by Scar House.
Good luck to those on the long head torcher tonight. should be fun, cold and reasonably clear at the moment.
The last of SROC's Street O events at Fulwood tonight, just one more club run next week then it's time for the head torch to be packed away till October
Stef and I were late last night but had a trot up to Fanhill Pinnacle, over to the witches hat and back down to the Lion. Obviously this precipitated the need for hoppy ale (which reminds me, we didn't see Kevin) and food
First headtorcher ever tonight. 40 lumens is not enough.
