Yeap, a tour guide in Coniston, and a direction organiser for the PBR's. ;)

ML, thats now your new vocation, a tour guide!!!

At least i will be at the right place...

So, its not going to be like Calderdale relay where i ended up in a forest, had to go over a field, over a bridge, up a hill, which i thought was huge, and then the finish was in some muddy lane inside of a weird type forest!

I grew up playing in that weird type forest:eek:
Explains a lot:D

WOW did you, i guess its got me interested in fellrunning, so its weird again eh!

Alex don't have me use your full name!

Alex and MerryLegs i got it wrong about the leg2 and leg3, i thought i was going to leg2 first, but its leg3 i am going to first.

So, going to the end of leg3 first then end of leg2, wish you were all doing a normal race! this navigating is really hard work!

You wouldnt dare!

Right im off to make some butties for 2mz......may seem some of you tomorrow.....

Just to clear a few matters up and not to be too rude in the process.
I've done my best to explain to NB how to get to the end of leg2 and find the changeover.
I also said i would be at the end of leg3 and if she wanted she could meet me there.
God what is it with women and directions.
They would get lost in there own living room.:D

And heres me sitting by the computer in my PJs waiting for my turn. Am in the B Team on leg 5 and live 20 minutes drive from Whitworth. Going to get going in a bit I think ;)

You'll have plenty of time Vince, saw a couple of RadcliffeAC coming in on Leg 2.

We are the Champions!!!!! Calder Valley finally win a big relay!!!!!! Red and White army! Well done lads! Loving it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

And it was a big relay race, is the race over, thought it had another hour yet?

Well done Calder Valley. Any more results?

1st and 2nd ladies teams in touching distance at the end of leg 2.

Watched the teams coming through the woods at the back of our house. Saw several pairs where the slower runner was obviously suffering for the cause. Brought back those bad relay memories that I'm sure we all have. Happy to be on child minding duties today, although did get a bit competitive at Pooh sticks at one point.

Not sure about the rest of the results i'm afraid. I may be wrong but i have a feeling Rossendale were in second??? not sure if that's how it finished. There's a good chance it might be a Calder Valley double- think our ladies were leading too although it may all have changed towards the end!

Well done CVFR.
Watching some of you at Callis Bridge, until started to lose the will to live as body temp plumetting (despite wearing 8 (!) layers). So nice freewheel back down Horsehold home.
Well done to all.

Leg 3 is a really nice run, enjoyed the race, weather was great.

I cannot believe how cold i am still, my legs are just about to get warm...

Have you lot warmed up yet?

it was freezing standing around waiting but once we were off, it felt quite warm, glad I had my shorts on instead of trackies.

At least most other teams bothered to turn up on time - which is more than be said for Brett Weedon, thus dashing Keighley's chances of winning outright and smashing all known records.

Were they the ones waiting for the leg 5 people? Really felt for them. Am pleased with doing the last leg 3 minutes faster than last year, and our B team (mixed) got third mixed place wahaaay! (Oh, aparantly I was in the A Team :o Found that out after we had finished.)
Bitterly cold though

Yes, Ben - a double for Calder Valley - the ladies were first ladies team as well !!!!! :D :D Yeah !!!!!
You and Karl set the fastest time on leg 2 (Graham and I gave you a bit of ground to make up - thought we'd make it interesting for you ;) )

Men:
1. Calder Valley
2. Rossendale
3. Horwich

Ladies:
1. Calder Valley
2. Clayton (I think)

First vets were Clayton.

Enjoyed it despite freezing mi wotsits off, Halifax managed to get a decent result in 9th possibly 8th despite 2 of our runners on leg 2 waiting in the car thus missing the start adding about 3 minsw to the time :rolleyes: tut

2. Todmorden

The question is though, is that Rossendale team (I think, Team Number 48) going to be penalised for having one runner turn up with the dibber, them letting the next leg go :eek: despite the other runner coming in at least 10 minutes later. This was the end of leg 4 to leg 5
(Ooooo.... contraversy!)

Disqualify them and ban them from organising the event next year so we can all keep warm!

Yes I saw Steve Clawson (I think) come in on his own, spitting feathers cos the Leg 5 guys weren't ready. But his partner had failed to turn up at the start of Leg 4 so he ran without him.

Great day - thoroughly enjoyed it. We managed 2 teams this year after our debut with a 9th last year.

6th for the A team, and 29th for the B team so progress made and even the roadies that were drafted in seemed to enjoy themselves.

Back again next year.

Thanks Rossy for another great event.

NB. That descent from Top of Leach is extremely eroded - can we not get it tarmacked?:D
