Thanks to Charlie for organising.
just got back from my first head torch run tonight and thought it was really good fun even in the pouring rain and mud(my favorite conditions). only did 3 and a half miles just to try it but felt really good and could of gone for my miles but had to be back to pick the misses up from work. bring on tomorrow night.
Belting 'torcher over Oxenhope Nab with 20 or so others, c4ml / 750ft? Best I've run in a long time and enjoyed it immensely
14 miles over Bleaklow with Marvin and the Nuns... details on TTQuote:

6m around st Ives and Harden Moor. Set off from Bingley fire station and hammered it all the way up Altar lane. A good stretch after last night's Oxenhope run. ( now sat with the obligatory G and T !)
I met Hank from these here forums tonight for 5 x 600ft reps on Otley Chevin. We bumped into Bob's climbing mate Brocky too. Made for a nice evening :)
Nice steady run through Longshaw and up onto Higgar last night. Once on the open moor I switched the torch off and after a few minutes to adjust it was just so good. You can see and appreciate much more of what's around you rather than just running in a little pool of light.
A very pleasant run around Silsden and Addingham moorside with Feet in the Cowclaps.
Saw the millstones, Windgate Nick, Doubler Stones, Apprentice Wall Corner and the Fireman's Stone.
Oh, and watched with pleasure as he sank into the gloop!
Mods only was it last night Brett? :closed:
A late decision to run.
Rob was very kind and jogged whilst I wheezed and spluttered :)
I think Rob is making an appearance at Kildwick tonight and def. for the run tomorrow night at the same place
Off to SE Asia in couple of hours. Back Hobble Sat, too late to run! Might see you that afternoon for a bit of washing up, or Front Room that evening :)Quote:

There's talk of visiting the mysterious Doubler Stones tomorrow night :cool:
I know them well. :closed:Quote:

Am hoping to run tomorrow - but I doubt it - Cheeky Monkeys :)
I've just been up by the Doubler Stones - very thick mist, you can hardly see anything. Should make for an interesting night run!
We'll be right (well we might be if swift is navigating:o). Kings Arms p b 8pm for a pint?Quote:

sounds great - I wish i lived out your way!
A little run up and down the Wessenden valley with Tony B. A bit foggy tonight.
Cracking 'torcher navigated by swift, taking in Nab End and the Doubler Stones. Maybe 6ml / 700ft. Good range of well kept beer in Kings Arms :cool:
That is a bit spooky. I didn't see your post before we went but we almost did an identical route. Just did an extra corner at the top to make it 6.Quote:

They were on the old Rivock Edge race route way back in the last millennia when it was a 10 miler from Silsden playing fields!!
A great little knee recovery run tonight around midgley moor.

3 x 550ft hill reps on Ilkley Moor. Last 'torcher of the 'winter'? Maybe
Belting start to the 'winter' last night. Nearly 8miles on the Bronte moors from Haworth with the club followed by refreshment in the Old Hall. Good to see Brett back running and sunnysideup and millipede out. Aunty Sally was also running, with his dog Galileo. Poor Galileo had to stop every hundred yards or so to empty his bowels but then AS has that effect on a lot of people as well :closed:
Can I just say here and now that Galilao is a fricking stupid name for a dog :)
Dark Peaks Second "winter torch run" last night... Awesome. I ran in a vest and shorts, no thermals, no wind proof!(In my bumbag of course). 2 hours 20 over Fairbrook to Kinder Gates across to Red Brook a rain down to Mermaids pond and back over Kinder to the Northern edge, down the other Red Brook and along to Lady Clough. 28 out last night.Quote:

I think we had about 20 folks for our run Ian and you're right, it was an amazing evening for a run out. I had a t-shirt and shorts on, but wished I'd gone with a vest. Would have been a perfect night for barearsed running :cool:
Mermaids pond, Using my new lenser nose torch...!Quote:

Ian, were you at Mermaid's Pool around 8.15pm? I was coming down the path from Sandy Heys down towards Benny's Bridge & then over Middle Moor back to Hayfield. Saw a few lights over towards Red Brook, Mermaid's Pool area.Quote:

7 Strollers out and about at Penshaw Woods and Monument.......great fun, first time out for a few and they all 'enjoyed' it. Did 5 hilly miles but felt like 8!!
Ours was about 5 miles too and hilly (well bumpy anyway); but it felt like 50!Quote:
