I'm hankering after a trip up north this weekend. Anyone up for a long steady trot? Was originally thinking of doing the 3 peaks route but anything long hilly and challenging would do. I'd like to keep the benefit of the OMM in my legs.
Am hoping to blag a guided tour of some sort...please?!
Oh and if there's tussocks i'd be like a pig with a truffle :D

In the Peaks there is 'The Roaches' Fell Race.
15 miles and not much under 4000' of climbing.
Cracking route.
I did it as my first fell race last year and im sure you'd equally love it.
Just an idea for you.;)
Was hoping for a nice relaxing social trot rather than an eyeballs out where the heck am I kind of run! :eek:Quote:

I'm feeling a bit brain dead at the mo...and half asleep most of the time. A bit worrying really. Need a good long one in the fresh air to shake it off.Quote:

II'll be out in the Dales at the weekend for a long steady run. Had thought about doing Kinder Killer, but will save that until early spring.
Planning a grand tour of upper Wharfedale c 20ml / 4-5000ft bit quicker than BG pace :cool:
This sounds promising...what's BG pace? Anything like Fellsman in 18hrs 10 pace?Quote:

Three years ago I arranged to meet Stef in Kettlewell in the pay and display car park for a long run. I arrived early and when Stef turned up the first thing I said was 'I know somewhere we can park for free; follow me!' Some things never change :o but some do and here we are now sharing a home and baking Christmas cakes together. Long may it continue :love:
Public displays of affection, there should be rules against this sort of thing ;)
Awwwwwwwwwwwww!! Congratulations DT and Stef on 3 years and Christmas cakes :thumbup: xxxxx
I would have posted what OHW did, but I'm a bloke so I couldn't
We knew what you meant shaunaneto ;)
Congrats Andy and Stef, oh sh!t I'm a bloke, I mean't inov8's are sh!t and soppy ;)
Aw, that's lovely :-). How wonderfully romantic. I'm a lass so I can be as soppy as I want. I met MrRTS on a Cannock Chase run. Gives a new take on speed dating ha ha :-) x
Congratulations to you both and here's to a lifetime of happy running and Xmas cakes together ( in real deep manly Yorkshire voice as I'm a bloke too) :)
Grand as owt!Quote:

This forum has a lot to answer for, it's more like a dating agency.
I sometimes wonder if "FRA" in the FRA forum stands for Feeling Randy Anyone? ;)
With your Avatar... NO.Quote:
