Any of you forumites doing the Rombalds Stride on Saturday when the weather forecast is for snow!!
I'll see you there then !
Hiya Ian! Yup its me . looking to do the full thing at the phoenix this year, gulp. Trollers Trot is sounding more and more appealing
Are you doing Rombalds?
Hi Clairster and Ian (are you the Ian that posted on Osmotherley RW forum).
Looking forward to Rombalds and Trollers, I've been more a road runner in the past but look in on here occasionally when I do fell runs in Howarth area (Withins, and Auld Lang Syne), great fun. Plan for this year is more distance and more on the trails/fells.
I'm also hoping to do Calderdale hike in march and one out of the Woldsman and Fellsman. So loads of long slow country runs in training. No doubt I'll do Osmotherley again too
I'm doing Rombalds as well this Saturday and Trollers in March. I am a relatively new fell runner myself.
Saturday should be fun if the expected snow arrives. I did it last year in glorious weather and navigation was quite easy. The following week I went walking with friends from Ilkley along that route. But it had snowed heavily and visibility was really poor. Couldn't see any landmarks and we got hopelessly lost. Two hours later we arrived at the Cow and Calf!
How did everyone find Rombalds? The odd snow blast, lots of snow and ice but I still had the feeling it could have been much worse.
