Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Hmmmphhhh!! Well done Longdogs-the only record I have ever held has been smashed! But given it is by you, of true Goddess status in fell running circles, I absolutely don't mind!!!! It is a great route isn't it and I have Tony (Mountain Man) to blame for getting me into this whole fell running lark a few years ago! I doubt I'll ever match your time so a sincere well done! Rachel x
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Hardly smashed it was only a couple minutes! We should get more women doing it and push each other on.. gentleman pacers not welcome :)
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Well done Longdogs and fair play to Rachel on her post. Your both stars.
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Ha ha-thanks Stagger! Really kind of you to say that! and Longdogs, yes I agree, more women needed to have a go at this (although i'll never say no to a gentlemen pacer!!!!)
Massive well done again to you, I imagine with a more informed attempt you could do loads better than your first time? rachel x
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Trying to persuade a couple of club-mates (of the very few in the club who fell-race) to have a go at this, when we have the same day available to us all.
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Went for a proper attempt today. Perfect conditions, cool but sunny, no wind, very dry underfoot. I clocked in at 2.33.44
Splits: OT mill 30.19, G.Mill 50.10, Ruin 1.27.47, S.Pike 2.00.32, Track junc 2.16.37, Cottages 2.26.44
I made up alot of time after S Pike this time, i think my wanderings over the Moor last time cost a bit, i only had to refer to instructions for the first half this time. Pretty sure of the route now, i am willing to offer guided tours for a fee of coffee plus a slice of flapjack :) Highly recommended day out.
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Another impressive run - the overall record looks as though it could be within your grasp now! Great stuff.

No chance on that.. but it'd be tempting to have a go at sub 2.30 if i pre-placed drinks. This fell running is an obsessive business !
Re: Calder V Round 2012 onward
Been round this morning with my friend Mick Bull from Middleton Harriers. He finished in 3.15.00 exactly after a sprint finish! Very tidy time for a 63 year old..! He was fading a bit at end but my nagging got him through, either that or he speeded up to not have to listen to me any longer :)
Splits Old Town 00:35, G Mill 00:59, Ruin 1:48, SPike 2:30, Junction 2:51, Cottages 3:06

Yes please long dogs, I'm local but crap with maps and have been wanting to do it for a while now. Could even throw in some quality street to go with a coffee
Cheers Mart.
