Great set of fotes, richpips - love the mixture of b&w and colour.

So do I - I look much better in b&w - suits my antique style of running!Quote:

How BIG are those race numbers :eek:
Hi there,
Has anyone any notes or comments about the Longsahw Sheep Dog Trials Fell race this saturday? Not done this one before.
Cheers
Simon
Trust you found your way, OK. Evidently the Dark Peak web meister had some difficulties. See full results here.
Yes I wish I had done it! the course was in superb condition and the weather perfect. alas I marshaled with Ken "Kinder K and D course setter" Jones at the bottom of the Plummet and then swept round with Filthy Rich, I will do this race next year as it suited me although the run to the finish looked hard.Quote:

Didnt enjoy the end but appreciated the marshall telling me it was all downhill to the end and that was at Padley by the ice cream van!!

Having checked there is some debate going on. Just get there for 9.45 and it won't matter....
Sorry
Definitely 10.30 am start so don't be late - mind you there aren't many places on this earth I'd rather be than sunning myself at Burbage North if the start is delayed due to late arrivals. Can the early finishers save me & Padomay some Deception please?
Anyone tell me the route of this please - does it go up to Burbage and Higger Tor or drop down to Grindleford via Padly Gorge and back up
Thanks
Zaf
roughly it reverses the burbage skyline routeQuote:

A great cry of happy birthday for chairman Paul who had his own number, cake and beer in the tent afterwards.
Thanks to the masses of DP who turned out to marshal and to RO Jim who gave a running commentary pre and post start.
I'd also like to know who the young lady was who was trying to find me? Was it a forumite?
Got chatting to a lurker from London who plans to join DP but looking for London runners to train with...
Oh Yes a Texan Ultra runner won the mens race Yee-ha and the ladies was won Helen Elmore with Steff 2nd
I resemble that remark, its not my tri-suit, that's leoparsdskin. It was the grooms suit at a Scouse WeddingQuote:

Even Darth Gets a mention, he'll do any thing for a free motor...;)
Has any one heard how the injured runner is? and if he got his car back.....
Hope it wasn't the one on top of Snowdon....
Young lady is definitely pushing it - he should have gone to specsavers!! Just wanted to introduce ourselves before Steve had to dash back for work. I tried to mnessage you but not sure it worked. Cliumbing at Millstone tomorrow night (weather permitting) and a beer in the Fox if you are available for a natter.Quote:

If you're inferring 'Did Darth manage to return his car without crashing it' then yes I did. The shame of it - a man of my standing having to drive a Toyota. Severely curtailed my post race celebration for the Chairman's 50th having to drive back to the Dark Side rather than cycle/wobble back.Quote:

Is it possible to recce all of this route or is some of it only open on the day. Need to run it several times before the day as don't want any surprises ;-)
Not sure about the start/finish field but certainly every thing after the first road crossing to the last road crossing is access land.Quote:

Well you've got plenty of time as its not till September! As a good 'warmer-upper' enter Burbage on 8th May as its virtually the same course only in reverse.Quote:

I'll do that thanks. That's one I'm not away for so will be good. I know it's not till September but want to check it out to make sure it's doable to be back home (hope valley) by 1pm with some of our friends all in one piece :-). Getting married at 4 :-).Quote:

Yes, we'll be there. It's part of the gritstone series so will be popular.Quote:

Something really weird happened to me after the race though. I went into the refreshment tent and it all went blank. Found my self standing outside with a cup of tea in my hands!! What is that all about. There was beer in that tent :w00t:
Well done Sue, 20 minutes off is amazing!
Would like to have been there, but had to take the kids to a birthday party.... But didn't mind too much as there was a bouncy catle.
Bouncy Cattle or Castle? Both are equally fun.Quote:

Does anybody know if there are photos/videos of the race kicking about?
There's a couple of links on the Dark Peak website or on Facebook page Peak District fell races.
