Don't forget Blackfoot who was kind enough to give me a lift. Good to be able to put faces to all the names.
I really enjoyed the race once it was over! My calves are still sore this morning.
Quote of the night - As I ran towards the top with Roger Rabbit we saw Tom Addison comming down in the lead, I must have sounded impressed but Wodger said "he should be able to do it, he's only a lad" !!
It's an old race revived, but suprised it got a permit on some of those roads!Roughly I think it is - From the sports centre in Colne which is next to the railway station, up the main road through Colne town centre to Laneshaw Bridge, then turn right on the road to Haworth. Up the long drag of a hill till just past old hearders pub, take a right down a rough track and all the way to Wycoller, up the hill out of Wycoller to Trawden. Then back to Colne town centre and finish at sport centre.
If you've done Trawden 7 in August it's same route but from Colne centre. Think I'll be giving it a miss.
Cheers Pudgy! Yes, quite a novel start! But really gang...I was only trying to squeeze past that young lady. Honest! I thought I'd got such a good line but we were trapped together on the pavement by that parked car. She was rather cuddly though... ...
Good to see the forumite gang out in depth
p.s. there's a brief race report by our Wharfedale webmaster and summit photographer on the wharfedale web site http://www.wharfedaleharriers.org.uk/
...there's a hill nearby missing its fool...
