What's this, Romantic - running - in Yorkshire, steady on woman, going for a drink in Swan is OK, but the rest, don't like the sound of that, what's world coming to.

What's this, Romantic - running - in Yorkshire, steady on woman, going for a drink in Swan is OK, but the rest, don't like the sound of that, what's world coming to.
It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it :pQuote:

Or was it tonight's wild swim by torch light? :o
Loved the climb upstream especially the waterfall (I'm assured it's usually a path!) and gave a passing nod to the mouse that swam across just in front of me on the way back down! :confused:
About 3ml / 550ft of mud, chips, rain, mini pizza, Hope headtorchs, moorland, Ram Tam and past its best Gore-tex, with streams for paths, out with your mates. A perfect Wednesday evening in other words :closed:
Where did you get to, and how many turned out? I was working so couldn't get there. Went with me dawg the night before but just along the canal. Mebbe go for a jog round Fewston res on way home tonite, we'll see...
There were 3 folk on the road plus 6 headtorchers. We ran up to the pinnacle, on for a bit, across the moor and back down following the wall (past where we turned right last week to go 'exploring'). The paths were unbelievably wet. Free food was mini-pizza / pies things and chips :cool:Quote:

Cracking full moon 'torcher last night up Beamsley Beacon. 14 runners including a couple of guest Toddies plus several dogs out :thumbup:
Easy run out with the club tonight, took it easy saving the legs for a long run at the weekend
Plus out-of-the-boot soup, and pints in The Swan made for a lovely evening :p Thanks all for joining us :cool: and DT for the logistics :thumbup:Quote:

Yeah, found all that mud a bit hard work though! Enjoyed it all the same, and I was pleased that young Joss behaved himself. Maybe I'll bring him along another time if no-one minds.
And I've just worked out who Millipede is! Clever name, I see what you did there...
32 intrepid dark peakers took to the hills around ladybowyer last night followed by a lovely pint in the Pub of the same name.
9.05mi & 1,250ft on the lanes to and from Barley this morning. Very wet & windy. Gentle pace: 1:25:35. Job done.
3 groups of Bowland Bats departed from Grizedale Bridge, each taking their own route around and over Nicky Nook. Cracking clear, starry night to be out. First real heavy frost for a few weeks.
Hour and a bit 'torcher with Dave the Gaffer. No wind, hoar frost everywhere and a crystal clear sky made for a great run out. No idea of distance or climb and couldn't care less :closed:
My headtorcher tonight --> Settle Hills from home. The ground was rock hard, which made a pleasant change from the usual muddy morass, but it was like jagged concrete in places with some sheet ice thrown in for good measure.
a steady plod around Duxbury park woods Chorley checking all the orienteering sites my husband has planned for a forth coming event. Glad it was frosty as less wet and muddy than usual. Had a fine time until I spooked a dog with my big light on my way back up to thecar park- other than that I had not seen anyone in over an hours jogginf around
I had a 7m headtorcher taking in Hackfall Woods and the frosty follies and trees at night were magical but blooming heck..the ground is sooo hard. Its been boggy for weeks and now the ruts are like rock as I found out when I fell down them! :D
4ml / 700ft-ish, Copper Dragon Best Bitter, fish pie and chips. Splendid evening :cool:
there was fish pie, what did i miss
Err, you missed the fish pie :closed:Quote:

Hour and a bit again this evening with Dave the Gaffer. Hobble training has started! :cool:
Good club run out last night, particuarly enjoyed the return leg on the beach with a long stream of lights straddled out behind.
Think it's just hinting at being light again when I finish work, ahh, I miss daylight during the week!
Forecast was torrential rain tonight. So I was well chuffed with clear skies albeit very windy. Club run up Middleton fell from Barbon. Cracking grassy descent!
Fab run out from The White Lion tonight :thumbup:
Bolton Abbey cricket ground to Barden Bridge and back :cool:
Yes, that's all very nice, but it's the pie and pint that interests us on this thread??Quote:

I'm working nites tonite, but hopefully I'll be ok for a night-time plod tomorrow!
White Lion is shut tomorrow pb. It's the Kings Arms in Silsden instead for usQuote:

Yes, and a quick call at the Doubler Stones on the way roundQuote:

Harter Fell from Londsleddale and interesting gully descent in the snow following club mates. Still got cold bum now. Really clear night and crisp snow.
20 dark peakers out on a cold and clear run over Pike low, plenty of wading through snow and some spot on Navving...:)
Good run out tonight from Kings Arms, Silsden. 6ml, estimated climb 850ft :closed:
Last night Pennine went from Hayfield up to the base of kinder downfall, Sandy Hays and back. Amazing night, very cold, nice covering of snow, amazing ice formations on the downfall.
