Fairly dry? It were like bl**dy concrete! The course last night was as about as dry as it ever gets - I've only seen it drier after about a 3 month summer drought, about six weeks ago the mud was above your ankles for most of it.Quote:

Ted passed Gary when they went into the dip on the descent, he says he legs just packed in.

Brett - thanks for another great race. My 3rd in 3 days so took it easy (which means I ran as fast as I could, which was slow!)
I was only pulling your leg :)
Anyway you can't beat standing in a swarm of midges for an hour! It was almost a relief when it started raining

I got the impression those pickled eggs were what Gary was racing for. Living now in Europe he may really miss our local delicacies of the chip shop.

oh psSorry Brett I realised when i got home I had taken away one of your numbers.still ettached to my shirt. Sorry. Thought I may hold it hostage till you fix the forum!
Splendid evening in Lothersdale. Good to see plenty of forumites out. Well done Breezie on 1st vet 65 prize
Aye, cheers to brett and the helpers from KCAC and thanks also to the photographers and the road crossing/summit marshals. Wharfey club champs race in case anyone was wondering! Had a smashing race, everyone was back down at the layby but i had both eyes firmly on the starter and bagged a front row start. Nice little course too, bit of everything thrown in and a really fast finish with route choices.
Agreed !!, not to keen on the new concrete flags they have put to the summit... never been there in the past makes it an even faster race now, suppose it has to be done though for erosion. Another race in the last month where i have never seen it so dry really dusty..Quote:

The section from the road to the summit is on the Pennine Way so I suppose it's been done for that. I've not been up on Pinhaw for a while now so hadn't realised that work had been done. It used to be one of my regular runs and the moor section could vary quite quickly from bog to concrete. I'd forgotten about the race :o otherwise I'd have wandered round and helped.Quote:

They just chose a different B class race!:pQuote:

The first two runners are both too young to enter the 3Peaks and Ted Mason has raced the peaks in 3.25 a few years ago.
I could name several Wharfedale Harriers that ran this race and also completed the 3Peaks last Saturday.
Get yer facts right before posting anti-social sh!te.

Anyone having a run out?
Brett, I can help out with marshalling if you want.
Fantastic - see you there!
I fancy hobbling round this on my bad leg (I thought I'd get the excuses set up early...)
But, if you're desparately short of helpers I'll do that instead, or as well, if it suits.
Thanks Mick - turn up to run and if desperate we'll divert you to something more onerous :)
No probs. See you there, unless you're out on tuesday from Keighley Gate!
Really enjoyed it last night. Thanks to all involved and good to see so many friends out and about
A set of shots from last night's race: http://bit.ly/Kt8MeL
a 'could do better' for me, I think! Still, enjoyed it and that's the main thing.
One of my favourite nights of the year and what I always think of as the start of the 'summer'
Evening all!
Fresh from a road marathon (please don't heckle me), I'm looking to turn to the trails and fells a bit this summer. This race looks like a beauty - is it suitable for a rookie 'fell runner'? Any course info would be greatly appreciated :)
Yes, it's fine for all levels.
it's an out and back route, the steepest bit is the first 300m or so. It's all runnable, depressingly so!
