Glad you enjoyed the experience. The earth certainly moved for me ;)
great pictures and a really enjoyable race. I thought it was even more hairy than last year, at least last year you knew the ground was going to be hard!
does anyone have the actual distance of the race? I know it says 5 miles but I completed in 40:40 and it really didn't feel like 8 minute miles! maybe i'm better than I thought - I doubt it!
thanks to Dave & the Woodentops.
I think it's just over four miles, something like 4.2. - just tried one of the online mapping tools which gave around 2 miles one way.
Distance was 4.32m with 693' of ascent.Quote:

Shminty in 4th place says he overshot a junction early on losing him 30secs whilst leading, but that the top 3 then pulled away.
A few pix up on http://woodentops.org.uk
More photos to come from Mick Fryer on Stoop descent, Youngsters Abigail Knowles & Chris Brown.
Thanks for nice muddy race and great photos. :)
A really enjoyable afternoon out. I enjoyed overhearing two fellow runners discussing how they'd both ended up next to each other in the same waste deep bog and then how they were going to get out of it again. I'd just pulled myself out of a very simlar bog :D. Looking forward to the Auld Lang Syne!
My son & niece came back with mud splattered all over their faces. Apparently Dave was kicking it at the juniors as they wouldn't move back at the start ! Excellent.
He did indeed - I wouldn't mind, but I was helping him shift the hordes & ended up with half the quarry down my neck...!! Good fun though!Quote:

Proper results are up now, senior and junior http://www.woodentops.org.uk/index.php?topic=stoop

I was curious too. Their web site doesn't seem to have made much of an impression on Google yet (early days) but with a bit of guesswork found this http://barlickfellrunners.org.uk/Quote:

I also thank him for wearing his 'santa baby' costume which acted as a beacon for my whole race.Quote:

Dave's prize givings are great. I love chocolate prizes and my free entry to the Auld-Lang-Syne will bring back memories of that Usain Bolt impersonator-Al Fowler. Hey I hope he isn't doing it this year as he's getting good now and a defeat I'd never live down.:closed:
I hope you had a proper warm up before doing them splits.
To be a Barlicker or not to be a Barlicker, that is the question :DQuote:

Barlick is a town of about 12,000 people so a tad bigger than a hamlet. We will be organising 3 races this year as a club, weets, buckden and pendle cloughs. Barlick was chosen for the name because it comes under pendle and is also
in west craven but we didn't want to upset other clubs by having any of their names involved. We are currently looking at vest designs and these are to be voted at a meeting at the beginning of January. It's not a multi discipline club so we won't be paying affiliation to cross country and other events thus keeping membership costs down. Hope this clears it up for you all ladies and gents.
You don't need to tell me where it is Chewbaca, I was born there :thumbup: Mind you, when I lived there it was still in Yorkshire and steam trains stopped there :DQuote:
