It was DT and myself who you were running with down to the dam at the end.
My knees are very sore now! :( The wife can bike to work tomorrow, I'll take the car:D

You caught us up about 2miles from the end and we had a bit of a chat going over the fields before the last bit of woodland :)

Aye, after I'd made that wrong turn !
Maybe next time I do a race I'll ask everyone who I talk to if they are on the forum - small world innit !!! I did have a chat with Graham Breeze at the end.

What a great event - route, grub, organisation and all for the price of 7 shiny coins.
Good company, good weather and a good trot out all round. I guess Anorak must have been the younger of the other 2 runners at the last CP - er, hello Anorak :)
Had to pull the car into a lay-by near Clitheroe for a 10 minute power nap as I was nodding off driving home :eek:.
Thanks to all those involved in putting this grand event on.

Re: Blubberhouses 25 - 5th Apr
Legs, and particularly knees, not too bad this morning. Must have been all that anaesthetic I had last night :p
Thanks to Nidderdale LDWA for the organisation, cakes, stew, etc.

Re: Blubberhouses 25-28 March
A group of us did it last year. Excellent route and usual LDWA catering / organisation :)
Re: Blubberhouses 25-28 March
Is this a four-day event?
