In a fit of being organised (or bored at work) I'm thinking about April races.
Cos of last year's clash with 3 Peaks I couldn't do the Some You Win; Some You Lose.
I had it firmly on my list for this year but can't see any details. Do you have any plans to put it on again?

I've emailed Jim the RO. I'll let you know when I get the answer but it's not on the DPFR calender either.Quote:

I'm already in the PPP so the Downfall (another of my big favourites) will have to wait another year.:(
Sorry Andy! One year I will complete the hayfield series:o
Surely you can manage both Ian?! ;)Quote:

any news on SYWSYL yet?
and while we're at it, what about Edale Chase - do dpfr know anything about that one?

However I found that the Skyline organization took up so much time that it was difficult to find the time to organize that third medium race, so to avoid organizing it badly it was cancelled.
I still have it in the back of my mind to do- so it may eventually appear.
Cheers, Andy
The Skyline does seem like an epic job...
What was the planned route for the Chase?
Just FYI - Kinder Downfall is the day after PPP.... Doubt the SYWSYL race would be on this weekend? :confused: Whaddya think?
The SYWSYL race will not be an open FRA race this year due to logistics & permissions. If it happens, it will be a DPFR club members only race, but not even a provisional date for this has been suggested.
I like the new Avatar Darth.
While we're on the subject of questions to Dark Peakers, is Robin Hood Monumental going to be taking place this year? I seem to remember some discussion about the old organiser pulling out, and someone else taking it on.
It's a Fat Boy championship race, so I would expect at least 5 of us!
P.S. It's a shame about SYWSYL. I ran it last year and thought it was a fantastic race. I can completely understand, however, as the registration venue and parking were not ideal for what would be likely to turn into a very popular race.
Thanks Noel, Mandy was comparing my bum in Leopardskins Vs Jackie's in red. Have to admit I come a pretty poor second.
Looks like Baslow will happen with DPFR (probably me) as race organiser, after I got a call for help from the Pub Landlord last week. Just finalising a date. I understand that the previous organiser is blacklisted by the FRA after his no show last year, then was apparently very rude to an FRA committee member who rang him up to find out why he didn't show up and 200 runners did!
I've found that picture of Steph taking the plunge at Whaley Waltz if you want to remind me when we next meet.
Cheers Darth, that would be great. Looking forward to Robin Hood - one of Steph's favourtites.
I certainly know which I prefer to follow errm I mean chase:o;)Quote:
