Crikey Paul, I'll be pleased if I can run as well as you do injured, when I get fit again!

Thanks to the organisers, excellent race, very well marshalled. Good mix of very steep bits, moorland path, tussocks, bogs and rubble track.

Hard going when you're in my state!

Lee Quarry silly laps must be working.

I agree. Well done husband.

I need to get more practice in myself now.

Dave & Eileen Woodhead have some photos - should be online later in the week.

What state was that - drunk from the days drinking on the Sunday?

Don't let Dave fool you, he had an excellent first 3 peaks the week before.

Well done to you all.

A very enjoyable and well organised event for both juniors and seniors. Thanks to Phil, Jonathon and everyone else. I'm looking forward to my Little Valley beer tonight :)

As I am sure all the juniors will be as well

Some photos here. Not my finest I'm afraid, and not the whole field, so sorry about that. Must do better next time...

Looked like an excellent turnout amongst the juniors. Well done CVFR.

Cheeky little course for the seniors. Just glad it wasn't a 'wet' year - otherwise snorkel and flippers might be required.

I opted for the clear water by the old gate, it was 3 foot deep. What's it like in a wet year?

And many thanks, very enjoyable. Nice pint from Copper Dragon in the pub, too.

great day for a run, with a bit of hail thrown in on top...

just when you thought it was a dry day...the bog was introduced....I did go around the lake though!

was denied a visit to the spiritual home (I assume) of fantasy fellrunning, The Shoulder of Mutton, as it was closed but was pleased to discover the Robin Hood in Cragg Vale on the way home.

Well marshalled, I was slower than most but at stages had no runners visible in front and found it well flagged.

Indeed it is !
Sorry to hear that it was closed :( , but the Robin Hood is a good pub anyway :)

Just a reminder to all that the Coiners is back on Monday May 2nd at 1.30

A great medium race 7 miles and 1100' with some lovely boggy bits.

Parking and registration as usual in Mytholmroyd Community Centre, please remember to allow 10 minutes to get to the start from registration.

Please don't park on the road to the start/finish as the people who live there really like to get in and out of their homes on Bank Holidays.

Hope to see you all there.

Wonder how my legs will feel after the 3 peaks? Think I had the same situation last year and got round some how:confused:
Looking forward to marshalling for junior races
Busy week - 3 Peaks, Coiners, and Calderdale Way (must buy some extra porridge.....)

Did the recce on Tues eve and even after the recent dry spell the section after the plantation was still rather boggy.

That boggy section is the highlight of the race for me. May try & be there for a post Peaks stagger (Not that I'm taking Staggers name in vain :o)

Yep it stopped me in my tracks resulting in a comedy pile up behind... unfortunately don't think I will be able to capitalize on all the tired legs from the back of the field....

Oh and Flower Scar.....somethings gotta give....

Looking forward to this tommorrow, the thread's been quiet what with the PPP and all. Looks like a simple enough course, a climb followed by a run followed by a descent. How much room for manoveurability is there with the route, is the flagging fairly restrictive?

I'll decide tomorrow on this (as something has left me drained today and slept most of afternoon!!) but looking at the route map I don't see any point of not following it as most is on the obvious FPs and tracks with only 3 or 4 short sections 'off-piste' which I would imagine will be flagged - I'm sure a Calder Valley member will be along shortly to confirm.

Stick to the flags and dont follow a red and white vest

Thanks to the organisers and marshals, i was expecting it to be a CV/KCAC fest but most must have done the PPP instead leaving a nice spread of other clubs. I must say i do prefer the terrain of Pennine mediums to that of Lakes mediums, Coledale was hell on my knees but this was like a walk in the park. It must be a bit of a bind doing this race after heavy rain, i went in up over my knees today and we're experiencing a drought at the moment.

I felt really fast today, probably because of all the flat running, after the monument i even managed to reel in a group who'd left me for dust on the way up. The flat start was good, it enabled me to sprint to the bottleneck at the stile and the first climb and get clear. It's not often i find myself at the front of a race, it may have lasted all the way to the stile if it weren't for the bionic Dark Peaker who was off like a scalded cat.

Sounds like a good run mr b - were you actually leading the race at the first stile?

Unfortunately I've been suffering with low energy levels this last 36hrs so didn't even consider driving over there, which is a shame as this looks like the fastest & easiest (ie nothing too steep descent-wise) of the Stoodley races.

I was in second approaching the stile but let a faster group go through before me, i'd only have hindered their progress on the climb which is pretty narrow. I'm a great believer in beating bottlenecks like this, even if you do have to sprint out of the field like 'the great i am'!

I had a similarly good result the the Settle tough trail, my best ever in fact, which is also very flat.

Great race and organization, are the results posted anywhere yet?

great day for a run over the coiner's moors
we had over nearly 400 juniors and seniors out today
nick and i really enjoyed organising the event again and thanks go to all of the cvfr members; family and friends that helped out
thanks also to the mytholmroyd scouts for the registration base
we also made over £200 for the calder high school great generation project- a service project the school undertakes annually in uganda

results soon on www.cvfr.co.uk - i emailed them earlier to bill j who will do the necessary magic

thanks for your support

Thank you.

A very good and well organised juniors' day in a beautiful sunny setting.

There were six current (plus a few past) FRA Committee Members there, perhaps they knew that juniors would not be complaining about hats, gloves and kit checks but just enjoying their running.

Or maybe Mytholmroyd really is the centre of the universe!

Few photos from yesterday's windswept moors at http://picasaweb.google.com/buddy.dv...sFellRace2011#

Some good pics there Buddy, all we need now are the results.
