Haworth Hobble

[QUOTE=Tussockface;316075]It was a bit tongue in cheek putting the Greek text in there, but I thought there might be a possibility of gleaning some Poseur points...

I wondered if anyone would ask. You haven't let me down, CCR. :)

This Special Edition, time-limited signature is from a poem by C.P.Cafavy.
It translates as:
"Keep Ithaka always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you are destined for.
But do not hurry the journey at all."

I heard it yesterday on the Radio 4 religious programme 'Something Understood'. It's called 'Ithaka'.
The whole poem is worth reading, though perhaps not in the Babelfish translation![/QUO

I'll give it a google I am intrigued

I've copied it onto the 'Today's Poem' thread, so this one can be turned back over to Haworth Hobblers. ;)

I have some rather nice T-shirts left over from the Hobblihike.

Drop me a pm if you would like one - very reasonable rates :D

Quite a few gone now

Have some Med, Large and XL remaining

Mrs. C's first fell race:eek: Very well done:)

T shirt arrived this morning, thanks brett ;)

Can someone point me to entry form, cant seem to find it on site, cant find noonstone either, not a good start to the year!

Last time I spoke to Brett he was struggling with Hobble venues. Form will be at www.kcac.co.uk when its sorted. Don't know about Noonstones but no doubt that'll be in usual place soon too

Thanks DT, how did you both do at hardmoors?

Entry form

Excellent news, cheers Brett:thumbup:

Phew, nearly didn't have an event centre!

Chuffed you've sorted it Brett, but gutted to be missing one of fave events

Looking forward to this after missing it last year.

Will pop entry in after I get paid at end of month.

Posted mine this morning at about 6:20, on the way to the Hebden. My first Hobble. After the recce the other week I'm fair dreading the pull up Crimsworth Dean.

Some pics of you ugly lot from today at sportsunday. Hope you all have a shave and freshen up for next weekend's relay and look a little more photogenic.

Looked at this and fancy doing it! Wondering if anyone fancies entering with me? NOt a fast runner so dont want to slow someone down. Never done a fell race this long so be new to me, and cant give time prediction, snowdon marathon 3.56.
Will enter on own if i free
Cheers
Peter

considering this - should have distance in legs from Wadsworth Trog, plus could try and get a 25-miler in between the two ... Mmmm

After being on photographic duty last year while injured, I'm looking forward to running this again this year. My entry's gone in. Can't wait.

I'm glad you found a venue for another year, Brett. Long may it continue.

I think il be on photographic/supporting duty again this year

I'm entering this one - can't run the www.heptonstallfellrace.org.uk the following week as I will marshalling.

When do entries close for this? - have had a look on the kcac pages but no joy

want to see how I get on at Wadsworth Trog first ...

Closes a week before the event

ooops sorry Brett:o

List of entries to date

How does the Hobble compare with Rombald's Stride? I know it's a bit further but that aside, is it really a lot harder? Is it more for runners than walkers? I'm very tempted, a certain forumite recommends it as preparation for the Fellsman...

Never done Rombalds but hobbled for the last 3 years, it's for anyone who can get round in the time limit (not sure what that is, 12 hours?). Excellent prep for the Fellsman, get yourself entered and enjoy a plod round, time doesn't matter and the longer it takes you, the more time on your feet training for the Fellsman. Good opportunity to experiment with refuelling on the move as well. Good luck PB.

Done both. Hobble definitely harder. Notwithstanding the extra miles,there are a couple of steep,long climbs. one up to Stoodley Pike and one up to Heptonstall. It's a brilliant event.Highly recommend it.

I second Steve! I did it last year in about 7 hours and my longest run until then had been Rombalds. I think you have about 9 hours to get to teh last check point at 28 miles. I reckon you'd be OK, go for it PB!!!
