Got home yesterday, packed for marshalling the 4 Villages, then checked my emails - it was cancelled for the first time ever. Snow on the back lanes. Those road runners don't like it up 'em, do they?Quote:

Don't know yet - I've not spoken to the organisers. I'll probably find out Wednesday night. I suspect it won't be rescheduled though, as it takes so long to organise road closures, & they've started selling off the t-shirts!Quote:

Was enjoying the endless virgin snow when I went over on my shoulder (now can't lift my right arm) hope its nothing serious as I need to get back out there tomorrow.
You're developing somewhat of a snow running addiction Trig! I've made a mental note of the 3rd. Hoefully there'll be no need of duckboards by then. Mind you, I can fall over a blade of grass on occasion - no need of icy mud. :thumbup:
Keep an eye out - recce on 03/02/13 is looking likely....(WARNING! I MADE A TYPO. THIS SHOULD HAVE READ 03/03/13 - APOLOGIES)Quote:
