Is Goyt's Moss a championship race for any of the local clubs this year?

Pennine have a mid-week summer series this year (in addition to the normal club championship). Goyt's Moss is the first in this series. It's a shame it's not during the summer hols this year, as I might not be able to make it. (Bit of a late night for 7 year old daughter with school the next day). I was looking forward to it this year, as well, after being ill last year and struggling round the course.

By the way Al, was it you that I met last year on Bleaklow the day before Tanky's? I think you were recceing for the HPM.

Macc Harriers have it in our Wed Nights Champs, so you can expect a good turnout from us. We had 27 runners at Herod Farm...

What's this then? Whole thing in record time, or a relay?

Goyts Moss is a championship race for Buxton too.

Goyt's Moss is not a championship race for Altrincham but Windgather is.
Jeff says can you put a carpet on that nasty bridge, like they do on the cobbles at London!

Yes it was. I remember it well.
You were recceing Bleaklow for the Tanky's race the day before the race I usually take a month off.

Whole thing in a record time. The particular record we are after is the one where you stop in lots of pubs.

If we do, will he promise not to break-dance on it like he did last year?

Hmm.. I slipped off the same bridge!
