LDWA events

I was supposed to be running the Anglezarke again, but it looks like I'll be having a lie-in instead. I've got a bit of a problem with my big toe that's not going to go away if I don't rest it. Have a good run...

Amble done and yes lots of ice. Was told about 60 retired and a couple of people sent to hospital.

What a crazy run (slide/trial/ordeal)! Great marshals and stew afterwards though.

agree was a grand day out!

Wow - that was hard in the ice! Nearly an hour longer than the 4 times I've done it before. Managed to decorate my cheek a fine shade of red. Wonderful food en route and friendly marshals.

Some pictures here on Just Us and A Few Friends

Splatcher you missed a treat.

socks you looked impressive at the finish with your war wound.

Nice pictures Ian. With your prior knowledge you should have made a general announcement - go bespiked or don't bother :p

I wrote a story and there are pictures: http://ultraploddernick.blogspot.com...-11022012.html

Oh Nick. I almost wish I had come and run now. I was knackered and could not see how I could get up and be on the start line bright and early nevermind run the course. A shame as it is local and I love the route. I was also concerned at 'racing' over the ice, whereas jus going out for a run I knew I could turn back or avoid the worst.

Excellent write-up Nick as always - I wish I'd been able to do it. And I wouldn't have left my microspikes behind! My toe problem was largely due to getting a hammering on frozen surfaces & possibly too much wearing of the said microspikes though, so I had to give it a miss. 10k on the flat with the dog this morning, back on mud, & I was no worse afterwards than before, so it looks like I'm on the mend. My next event's the South Shropshire Circular on the 25th, & I'll be OK for that: anyone else doing it? It's been full for yonks btw.

Is anyone thinking of doing Peeler's Hike from Bury on the 4th March?
