Midgley Moor

You needed to come prepared with full kit, but on the day requirements were dropped to carrying a cagoule, as the weather was good.
Most people did take a cag, though I spotted a few without.

The funniest quote of the day was by a Gentleman to Mrs Stagger on the finish line that said, "please don't make us run in a cag again"

She did explain the requirements at registration were to carry it but not necessarily wear it.

Poor guy was dripping

Good job it wasn't full kit then, the guy might have thought he'd to blow his whistle the whole way round.

Yeah well what happened was i was running with Anne Johnson and i decided i would outwit her high level of local knowledge by taking a path that had no shoe prints on it. The path split in two so instead of taking the path that led to the finish i beared left into the next valley. Realised i was wrong and turned back thrashing through the heather
I finished 4 minutes behind Anne in the end oh and i got outsprinted by flightless bird

Just let me make sure I understand this.

You are running with one of the greatest, gifted, (and nicest) women in fellrunning, whose house actually overlooks the start field and who runs for the local club who organise the race and you thought you would outwit her by...

Ah. Got it.

Oh the confidence of youth!

X-talons and kit bag, well there's a surprize,

They belong to the talanted lad who finished just behind Flightless Bird.
Same lad who finished 4 minutes behind Anne Johnson. After deciding he knew a better route.
Same lad who grassed Fleeter up about Veggies.

Any ideas???

And the windproof trousers are mine

[TurboTom]

Fair play i cocked up but there is good reason- i didnt fancy trotting through rough heather on a dodgy ankle
FJ- No comment, sort yourself out mate instead of a weak attempt at humour

[TurboTom]

You expected better?
Look after the ankle.
