Re: Tonight's headtorcher
Bad luck on the weather, Richard
It was dry on the Wrekin although a bit of mist was starting to form.
Belted round from Forest Glen to Little Hill col as it was getting dark, then a quick hike up the steep ridge to the top. Headtorch on and down the BMX track and back up Beeches. It's pretty damn dark on some bits of the BMX, even just after dusk!
Just over four miles and 910' of ascent in 50 minutes with about a mile and a half of steep up and technical down...
Nice to get out...
Jim

We had a lovely night race around Howden edge last night. No rain until we were in the pub.
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
I couldn't get out with the KCAC people last night due to work, but me and the hound went for a trot up on the moors - lots of rocky paths, concentrate the mind wonderfully!
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
Hmmm, two excellent headtorchers in a row last couple of days - a ten miler (switched it off and just went by moonlight up on Houndkirk Moor - lovely) and a six miler - legs a bit tired tonight so didn't go out for my threshold session. Instead I'll be up for an early tomorrow morning 6am for a pre-breakfast threshold headtorcher!
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
Five and a bit miles last night, mainly on towpath and across/around fields. Negligible climbing.
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
6 headtorch lit miles up Hameldon Hill and roundabout. Very quiet and serene apart from a sneaky heard of young cows and a pair of eyes in the woods - dog/fox.............
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
Hill reps by head torch on Hobson Moor. My first foray onto the moors in the dark by myself and spooky it was too!
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
Hobson Moor? Is that the one next to Gallows Clough...?
Re: Tonight's headtorcher
If you fancy a hill session up past the aircraft wrecks on Tinsel Knarr give us a shout. I'll bring me dog. Scooby.

Sounds good do you fancy going tomorrow night? It is by Gallows Clough no wonder it felt a bit spooky...
