Thanks I will have a look.
I'm getting train to halifax, then bus from halifax bus station to the race, so parking isn't an issue for me. Got work straight after race, so either train to bolton, or I might go direct to preston, haven't decided yet. Looking forward to race, and snow expected, ooh how exciting.
Bike on the train to Halifax then cycle up to Ogden via Ovenden & Illingworth, I know the drill by now,this will be my 6th Ovenden Moor race.
Afterwards quick pint in Causeway Foot then cycle back down to Halifax and a pint or 3 in the Three Pigeons sorted !:D
bring on the snow and rain !
a fair bit of snow uphere now going to be interesting be wading through it on the tops at this rate. Seems this race truly reflect winter fell running alright lol
See you shortly folks - judging by the weather reports if it hasn't been made clear enough already - bring full kit & then some more - btw I will be running (:p) rather than mooching around watching the world go by.
Just put my socks on and ready to go,
See you there Manhar
Mrs Stagger has just rung home and thinks she was 2nd lady.
Just changing to go to the prize giving (but only for a chip buttie I suspect)
Yes well done Mrs Stagger. :)
Good snowy day out.

Thank you Bo Peep, nice to see you again.
Thanks also to Alan and his trusty team for a very snowy run, good fun was had by all.
Can anyone tell me please who the first 3 men and women were and any idea of their times. Just want some info for our local rag. Ta
well done mrs stagger! and good foto bo peep - I came up to the lakes on friday and am amazed at how much snow it looks like you've had! sorry to have missed the race. I really enjoy stringman's races.
Hooray for Mrs Stagger.. probably the nicest person in fell running :)
Thank you everyone, you're all too kind.
Well done to Mrs Stagger & Thank you to Mr Stringman & his helpers for another fine production. The snow on the ground & limited visibility added to quite an atmospheric run.
Didn't notice the snowman on the way out - where did he come from ?.......:)
fell over about 20 times but think the snow made it a unforgettable race this year. wonder if anyone has anymore photos. :)
well done marshals for braving the conditions on the moors top stuff
well done all
good way to spend a snowy, foggy Saturday - thanks to the organizers - where are the results published - FRA?
Results here
Thanks everyone for coming and hope to see you again at the Windmills Whizz next month.

Anyone doing it?
Trying to persuade my clapped out self it would be a good idea.
Usual not coming last policy of course...
I'm thinking about it, last did it on my 50th birthday, dont think its been held last couple of years because of poor weather.
It's a good a race as any to get the new year started with, quite testing but not too far a distance
A bit of a duathlon for me, train from Leeds to Halifax ,cycle up to Ogden and then back to 'Fax.
I'm hoping to get across there. Didn't get to any races last w/e so it will be nice to blow the cobwebs off - though if this wind continues it may be more than cobwebs that get blown away! Haven't done this before. Is it all runnable or some very steep ascents/desents? No need to tell me it will be muddy/semi-submerged, I can guess that.
It is a tough winter challenge, 1200 ft of climb in 8 miles.

Bring FULL WATERPROOF WHOLE BODY COVER. That windfarm wasn't built for it's striking looks !
Also, please car-share where possible. Double yellow lines have been painted on Ogden Lane and all the way up Syke Lane (the lane opposite the pub). Perhaps forumites could arrange to meet somewhere then share a lift to the venue?
RACE PARKING IS ON THE FIELD TO THE REAR OF THE CAUSEWAY FOOT PUB
The Ogden reservoir car parks will be chock full as usual...
Hope to see you there for another enjoyable morning out.

Should be a good turn out from Calder Valley as it's first championship race of 2012. A nice little warm up before our club do in the evening.
Hoping to do this- one of the few local races I have yet to do....
Karl Gray won for boys
Jo Waites won for girls
A record turn out of 193 runners for this race today. It was very muddy which made it very hard going and there was alot of people landing on their ar*es on the descents. Great run by Karl in time of about 57 minutes and for Jo, who is coming back strongly after injury, in a time of 1 hour 7 minutes. Wharfedale took the mens team prize but it should have been Calder but for a certain young man from Tod who forgot to put his club down and was in the results as unattached. He deserves some plonker points for this!!!!! Calder ladies took the team with Jo 1st, Helen Fines 2nd and Anne Johnson 4th. Good to see the girls back on form.
Good tough day out thanks to RO for the last two races in the area.---- next!
Come on in, the water's lovely (this is the silt trap in Ogden Clough)

Just so you know....!
See you there.. AG
Looking forward to running this for the first time this year - it has an awesome reputation.
Enjoy it Jeff, but take your full kit as the RO take's it serious and only allows runners that have the full set up.
