Could have done with some help finding a decent line!
Had a great headtorcher on Tuesday evening with a new club member, through sheffield woodland trails. Fantastic autumnal running! Loved it!

3 'torchers in 3 nights. Wheezing Donkey, I'm being good
Whoa there Andrew.
This is really confusing an old man: not just cross referencing between different threads; but cross referencing different threads in different folders??
To get back on thread:-
Had a head torcher around Beacon Fell on Tuesday and will be doing hill reps on the lower slopes of Clougha tomorrow evening.
Missed tonight's club outing to "The Bat Cave" due to getting a good drenching on todays CTC ride and needing a long hot bath!
Ian.
Took a dozen 'Barley badgers' up Pendle again this week. Bit misty on the top but still managed to find the right line from the trig to Bill Smith's stone at CP4 / 11. A good run out for about 90 mins followed by necessary rehyration in the Pendle Inn.
Bit of advice for anyone thinking of going up Pendle tonight ~ DON'T it's Halloween and you might get plagued by the Pendle Witches........... or mabe the usual townies in their skimpy shoes with carriers bags full of tins of cheap cider.
I've heard the Barlow Mow re-opens tonight so I'll give it a try after my usual pint of Moorhouses Pride of Pendle in the Pendle Inn. :)
right where do I start what I want to is thanks for everything but I can make my own decisions not all of them the right ones but I don't think ive deserved the mind games for the last 2 years I came on here hoping I would be to some help to others as well as them to me but not expect to be set up like I have been which will be dealt with in due course
what I do want is to be cleared of everything and the gates to be opened
Finally kick-started my after-dark running last night with an 8 mile stumbly affair over local hills. I tell everyone I know every bump in the paths up there but that didn't seem to stop me tripping a couple of times on the run :rolleyes:
The Barley Badgers had another great outing last night on Pendle. It was wet & breezy in the valley, but torrential on the tops. Horizontal rain and wind on your face at 50mph (ish) made for a great trip down 'Character Building Lane'. We finished off running past Upper Ogden reservoir ~ the inlet sluice was all under water and the main drainage channel down the dam was a magnificent sight. I've never seen so much white water since the OMM 2008.
The rest of my Clayton colleagues will be out at 11.00am today up Pendle whilst I'm working :-( ~ but they won't have as much exitement as we did last night.
Five and a half wet miles last night across fields and canal towpath. First run for 5 weeks, pain free, happy days:)
5ish miles round the 20 Barriers race route last night, SROC's Street O at Ormskirk tomorrow night. Good to be back after a few weeks out
Just a quick run over the moor tonight - more of a moonlighter than a headtorcher!
The moons very nearly full and there's still plenty of snow around so lots of natural light, enough to plod along by. I really enjoyed it, and so did my dog!
