I remember doing the event many years ago when it was organised by Frodsham Fire Station and it would be fantastic if it was revived. I'm sure that it would be well supported both from FRA and LDWA types if advertised in Strider Magazine. 21st May would be perfect for me as the week before is the Fellsman and the week after, the LDWA 100, so this would be a nice gentle leg stretcher for me.
Good luck with the organisation. You know you've got to do it now :D
It will be in Strider in December, and I'll ask them to put it up on the LDWA website as well before that, once we've got a few more things sorted out. Three local authorities to talk to!
Full marks to Andy for getting this off the ground. Obviously a fair bit to do, but he's off to a flying start with the organisation. I was wondering when he'd go public on here :)
Did this yesterday, wonderful in terms of weather and a good run out for the day. Ran from Whitchuch so had to faff around with trains etc. From train station at Whitchurch to the obelisk at Frodsham toox 6 hours 30 minutes; this did include a run in with curious lama who took a liking to me an decided to run with (after) me, detouring a big bull who was stood infront of my way forward and re-directing a lost family in delamere. All together a nice route but it does have some monotemous bits such as the muddy corn field just after Beeston, talk about clod hopping.
My time somewhat looks a bit pittiful now. I remember aching at the hip, running field after field after field (doing it Frodsham to Whitchurch). Hope to join in the race, theres rivalry in the family my dad won the fire service race in 1997 & 1998.
Not long to go before the big day on 21st May!

Yep, current record 5h19 Jeff McQueen & Dave Douglas, from this time last week. Sub 5s on for the quick folk, rumour has it one of the pair was saving himself :)
See you on the 21st!
Rumour has it that one of them has been ill since that run and will be lucky to be back to full strength on the 21st!
Will know for sure after a 3 peaks run this w/end.

Four more completions this weekend - Andy, Ed, Chris and Steve from Helsby RC. Record's still safe :)
I don't think "safe" is the right word. It'll be gone on Saturday. Mind you, my M50 record might just survive...Quote:
