Crowden Horseshoe

[Brummy John]

Great race today. Very technical in some parts with narrow paths and plenty of rocks. When I had the chance found it very diffciult to pass, but did manage to stretch my legs in the final 3rd of the race. Well done to the organisers, congratulations RR on a fantastic win. One of the guys from Dale lost his Walsh at half way point, should have tied his bum bag round his foot!!

Sounds like a proper fell race that!

I hear M carried on to the end, running 5 miles with only one shoe. I'm really jealous at missing out on this race.

Well done to RR on a cracking time and to everyone for completing a tough course under what must have been energy sapping and slippery conditions.

[moo]

god that's where I'm going wrong then. Instead of eating loads and a glass of wine I should be on the turbo trainer after a race.... lol

Well you don't have to run on 'em do ya?

Errr... the flaggs I meant - just realized Luv Shack's post wasn't the last one... always doing that!

Great that Peter Butterworth is still alive and working at the Crowden Campsite (thought he was long dead):



(I was willing him to say "a pound each" but he never did.

Great race, absolutley loved it. The rain in the week made it more interersting

Good run this morning with forumites Roadrunner, Dark Peaker, Bone and a few others including race organiser Des. Cheers for that guys. If it stays dry over the next week you could consider race flats it was fairly dry today especially until the summit.

It didnt stay dry did it!

Managed to lose my left shoe in a bog after about 10 minutes but all in all an enjoyable run!

Well done to RR on a great win

Great race yesterday.

You have now all seen invisible; I was the lone spectator on the run in from Black Hill. (Decided not to run after bad cold for two weeks, but wished I had when I saw you all bounding down the hill)

RR was miles ahead and gave me a funny look when I cheered him on. Then there was a pack of runners having a real battle over the peat for top ten positions.

Recognised quite a few forumites from their avatars, but unfortunately didn’t get to speak to any of you.

Shows how “dry” it has been with the superb times of the top ten

Well done Springfield Ladies third team (very close)

Bit of a pile up at the start, wished I'd started from the front, but didn't want to get mown down!
Thought the course was very runnable, and the bogs weren't too bad.
I enjoyed the bath in the river at the end.
Most surprised to win a prize, but only cos I'm an old bird!

Thanks for a good day Des. You seemed to be smiling all day.
RichT-sorry I missed you but Mr Invisible caught site of you at the start.

Well done RR for setting a new course record.

Let's hope for a bit more rain to loosen up the ground.
