actually for Soggy you could put in Snowy

hehe! I loved it really... ;)

Sounds cold still up there.

Like running on cold baked alaska. Crunch through the top and you drop in anywhere up to your hip, most of the time just dropped a couple of inches each step. Tough conditions. Though lots of lines to follow, some older than others. I saw 4 people ahead of me, mud claws, roc lites, a square block pattern plus another set of inov8s.

We were up there yesterday, saw another group of 4 ahead of us and another group behind. Is everyone wearing black these days? shows up well against the snow.

Hope no one followed our tracks to Brown Knoll. Didn't get the compass out as visibilty was so good but we drifted a long way left and then back again. Didn't matter so much as the bog was mostly frozen but some nice deep drifts in the groughs.

Did the second half on Saturday BK to finish, I now have doubts.

I was in blue top running with two dogs. So not guilty.

I think I witnessed all of this, I was heading round anticlockwise on the inside line (last minute HPM recce) and saw 3 groups heading c/w - one of which looked a fair way SW - at around 10am ish.

If you saw a solo runner in a hi vis yellow jacket (unfashionable I know) then that was me.

I will see you all again at the Skyline as the club have very kindly invited me to run the Brown Knoll checkpoint.
