For a rather delightful (if slightly damp) excursion onto Kinder, and back into a pub this evening.
Twas great to be out with a number of different clubs on a non-competitive and thoroughly social event.
We should do that again some time. (though preferably without the lost dogs and dogs getting washed away down streams and subsequent injuries to venerated members of clubs etc). :D
HEAR HEAR!! Rather wet indeed, but thoroughly enjoyable! Good to see you, Lynne and all the other Glossopians on 'thills and in the Royal!
It's Helen Pritchard we should be thanking she organised it! It was great to see so many out in the pouring rain, we should all meet up more often.
It was an unknown who'd organised the evening until just now, so thanks Helen!! and also to everyone else who splished and splashed around Kinder, and socialised afterwards. Good to catch up with you all on the hill and in the pub.
Lynne
Echo all that was said. I really the enjoyed my long chat with the three Dark Peakers in the pub. Helen needs to organise better weather for the next one.
I never ran as quick as I did coming down Tunstead fields. I though if I try to break I will just slip so best to just go with it. My Inov8 333s were fantastic in those conditions last night.
Jolly sad to have missed it.
Tick alert!! just heard one of our four legged companions came home with a tick last night - give yourselves a good check over.

It wasn't Julian's dog, it was Becky's dog Elsa. Not sure of the details but understand Loveshack saved the day and is now Becky's hero!Quote:

Sad I missed it but I have come down with a cold and would like to be recovered for Monday nights race so running around in the heavy rain was just not going to happenQuote:

What happened downstream I couldn't see but dog and he were pulled out without (serious) injury. I do believe Loveshack may have "just grazed" his hand. The force and power of knee deep water is not to be underestimated.Quote:

There were quite a few taken (by various people) at the bridge at the bottom of Williams Clough. I assume they will start to surface eventuallyQuote:

Reading this and all other posts on the thread, all sounds mighty fine. Afraid I missed the party due to parenting duties, so jogged in drizzle on't'road whilst middle'un was training at ECH (Ashton), and got to thinking of all you lot running bare chested up on Kinder. Does this 'Luvshack Good Samaritan moment' on the road from Kinder to Hayfield mean that Becks is now converted to topless running (a-la-Lisa-on Kinder Trial), to augment her lycra bottoms? :thumbup: Running bra allowed of course - wouldn't want Elsa to pass out....! :wink:Quote:

Well Well Well..... & even WET Wet WETTER
& dafter than that too...was a super night out...
with such a great bunch of mates & associates.. from lot's & lot's of clubs!
Well done Helen, Geoff & Co' for bringing it all together, Benny would be/is v' proud ;)..
As for Dog Rescue....knuckles took a slight drubbing in the racing River waters, in the Dog Dip across the yard from the Royal :o...
Rather dark & torrid under the Bridge...good to find a few pals' on t'other side to take young Elsa from the Kinder Surf!!!
Roll on next time.... I think DPFR & GVS & GP'Dale & CHR & More have something similarly esoteric in mind...;)...
(PS - have got a few pics of the eve - also rather dark, misty & torrid - will do my best to get them posted...)
Thanks Glossopdale
What a great bog trot tonight, but I fear your ulterior motive got revealed in the pub, when commenting on Pennine's one training session per week while Glossopdale have two, ye revealed that Pennine do not have to train so hard because we are “so good” Me thinks ye were hoping to loose a few Penniners in those bogs tonight.
Pennine have done hayfield to death and I loved getting out and doing something different. Personally I am quite envious of your differing start points.
Once again thanks for a great evening
I will second that. It was a great evening out with some smashing views.Thanks Glossopdale.Quote:
