2011 calder valley round

[Rodders]

Just back from another round and another PB. just crept under 3 hours with a 2:59:37. If anyone is thinking about going, then the stones in the first half & past the cottages in Blackshaw are lethal. A tree is blocking the tron in Stoodley wood. Oh and the cottage on the left as you leave wainsgate has a pit/staffybulldog loose that can leap the wall. It was remarkably quiet until it was on top of the wall next to my face. Nice.

Rodders, thanks for drawing my attention to this one yesterday. I do fancy it sometime soon. Also, as my mum lives in Hebden Bridge and my sister in Mytholmroyd I could easily work it into a winter weekend when there is no race in my diary, and make an early start time. I will try and look at some dates for sometime after Roaches (Nov 13 - 15m 3700'). Anyone else thinking of doing CVR this quarter? Around 5 mile / hour pace for me I am guessing. Or my tried and trusted 'Compo (2:17) divided by 0.70' calibration method is another way of giving myself a meaningful target.

Here is a list of registered completions so far this year. Elite times are shown in bold. There's not been a lot of interest since the Spring but there is still plenty of time to romp round this before the year end if anyone wants to add their name to the 2011 completions. Only two elite times since it was lowered to 2-45 but Tom Brunt's new record will take some beating. Let me know of any corrections

1. wjr - 3-24 U/A (9 Jan)
2. Mountain Man - 3-24 - Idle AC (9 Jan)
3. Tom Brunt - 2-17 - Holmfirth Harriers (16 Jan) ***** NEW RECORD TIME *****

[MOUNTAIN MAN]

No more completions so the above list will do as the annual summary for 2011.

I 'll start a new thread for 2012 completions so please post any planned runs or completions on there.

At this rate it looks like there will only be you and me out on it next year Rodders - but you can't get too much of a good thing can you :thumbup:

[Rodders]

I will initiate one or two more into the joy of the CVR. Might try another double if my health holds out.

Meant to try it (honest) in Nov/Dec after Rodders suggested it to me back in Oct/Nov(?) but I ran out of spare weekends.
Will deffo put on list for 2012. Will probably reccie both halves (to sort out nav issues) and then do the round proper.
With immediate family in Hebden Bridge and Mytholmroyd I dont really have an excuse not to earmark an early spring morning start one Sat / Sun.
HNY.
