Only up to your knees? Even in Sunderland Pasture? By heck it must be dry up there. :wink:Quote:

Thanks BillJ for posting the results and thanks to all involved on Monday for a great race. It was my first time at the Coiners and I very much enjoyed it - even the deep bogs were oddly satisfying.

Bill, i swear by the grace of Saint Norman that something has found its way into that bog and died and sunk to the bottom...maybe a whole menagerie of things if the smell on my shoes is anything to go by. I wash but still it remains :DQuote:

Ran round most of the route yesterday in hail and rain and wind. The wettest bits were up over my knees. Enjoy!Quote:

Nowt to do with me Steve but i cant think why not. MCC is shut on B/H though I would think you will be fine leaving a bag in start/finish field for certainQuote:

Looking forward to this - never done it in the rain before - I'll drag the Jedi Master and the other CVFR hurriers along too
Must take a look at this new route
Just looking at the printed FRA calendar and it refers to a separate entry for junior races - like to confirm there are no junior races this year. The FRA website is correct on this point.
Fantastic new addition to the route - loved the big descent off Stoodley. Had an interesting race having started 4-5 mins late, managed to catch the sweeper at the top of the first climb and then moved through around 30-odd postitions to finish in a decent spot (felt great doing so much overtaking!)
Big thanks to Jon, Nick, Graham and all the marshalls!
See you all tomorrow night in Heptonstall for the CVFR away run/recce/pie and peas/folk music at 6.45-7pm at the White Lion (none CVFR guests welcome)
Thanks to all who ran today - You timed it perfect so that us marshalls didn't get wet through. Well done to all.
Thought you must have started late Trig by your position before dropping down to London road. You were flying coming down from the pike towards Sunderland pasture. Well done all, I had a run over from home with the dog and didn't miss the rain on the way home.
Certainly added to the excitement - are you out for pie and peas tomorrow????Quote:

Never done this before but really enjoyed it. Now knowing where the extra but was added in I don't know why it wasn't there before - a great descent and a short sharp climb back up to the monument. Can fully understand what people were saying about the bog, don't think there was any way to avoid these. Great final descent to the finish as well. Thanks to all the marshals, will definitely be back next year.

THE Bog as dry as we have ever seen it, lovely sunny day in prospect, second running with the new 'challenging' Stoodley Pike climb.
Fast, scenic and great prize beer from Cragg's Little Valley.

@sevendaughters - my condolences :)
great course, excellent marshaling, big smiles - so glad i did this.
many thanks to all involved.
First race after a couple of weeks injured, set off too fast & struggled but enjoyed it none the less, my son did too. A great event & will definitely be back, many thanks to all involved.
Brilliant race - many thanks to all the marshals and to everyone involved in organising it.
WoodenTops have some photos up - http://www.woodentops.org.uk/index.p...pic=morephotos - now how about them results?
Results now posted: http://www.cvfr.co.uk/races/coiners/
cheers BillJ! 35th, was up on the chap in 31st when my shoe went explodo, not too much damage done then.
Who's up for the Coiners this year then?
I've never done the race, but might be tempted to give it a go.
