Me too, only a short jog from my house, should be enough to warm me up assuming i don't get wet through. What's with this weather, when will summer time begin properly.:rolleyes:
Another race I am missing :mad:
Is this in the championship?
I'm moving washing machines around tonight so I won't be there!!!

Bring your waterproofs - it's absolutely tipping it down at the moment!
Give me wind and driving rain over midges any day! :)Quote:

Might have to give the pre-race recce a miss!:rolleyes:
I think it's defininely going to be a wet one should make aggies a nice slippery climb !
If anybody is free to marshal at the Tower then can they please let Julian Donnelly, the organiser, know at registration. Ta.
Brilliant - absolutely soaking wet - running almost every step in running water! But brilliant - and Miss WP won the ladies race - but didn't quite get me this time:p
What happened Swoop? I diidn't spot you and your not on the results.Quote:

Excellent race and managed to speak to a couple of forumites tonight as well. Conditions were character building I drove home with the heating on full blast in the car, I was pretty wet.
If walsh made water wings, they would have sold out tonight, the climb up Jacob's Ladder was like running up waterfalls. Thanks to the saturated marshals and all the Dasher's crew. It has to be one of the best value races in the calender. A fine, if aquatic route, free t shirt, as much chocolate and sweeties as you can eat,, and plenty of prizes.
And well done to Witton Parkette. A remarkable performance, especially as you must of had to swim some of it. Take it the talent comes from mum's side of the family eh, WP? :D
who won? due to a nightmare work day I got home about 20 mins ago (22:45) ish and couldn't drop the trophy off ( will send my apologies to Julian and get the trophy to the winner ) hope you all enjoyed the weather:eek:
I won no need to check results just send me the trophy :DQuote:

Apologies to Julian for letting him down at the last minute, sounds like you put on a good show.
I was looking forward to having a catch up with forumites and getting back on the scene now I'm back running.
No swoop eh, he did'nt get into a fisticuffs with that chap he mentioned earlier did he.
Was a good race-i love the rain and got plenty of it!:D
Nice race, rain was shall we say character building but at least it was warm rain.
Mrs WP would say that - but I like to think it's a joint effort:DQuote:

Took 2 lads from work for their 1st fell race (or should I say canyoning trip?) and they were amazed. They've done the rip-off that is the Great North before so you can imagine.
They did ask what was with the pig on the t-shirt as I'd told them that Aggie was a local witch :)
And no midges! Well, almost....
Cheers, Ali

I wimped out last night. Glad you all enjoyed it.
I spent Wednesday and Thursday at my son's in Darwen viewing the terrible weather out of the window.
When his in-laws invited me for tea how could I refuse?!
A nice meal, good wine and a good football match on telly was most pleasant.
Maybe do Tockholes next week (beginning to sound like Roger Rabbit.:))
missed you last night and NOYH xxQuote:
