Heptonstall festival

[Trig]

Looking forward to the race tomorrow; hoping for a bit of sun to dry the cobbles in the absence of the much talked about Cobbleclaw making its way onto the market :wink:. See you in the White Lion sometime before 11am.

Hey just heard Badly Drawn Boy is making a secret guest appearance/act at Hept Fest Marque - and its stopped raining!

Well did he? - He wasn't racing ;-)

Enjoyed that, quite a tough short race :closed:
Every race should have clowns as marshals. (I don't mean they were no good at marshaling!)

Thanks to everybody who made the race today such a good one; especially Trig for co-ordinating the massive team of marshalls, flaggers, time-keepers, clowns, post race refreshers. It was a pretty tough race - the mud and water making it even more of a test I'd say. Good fun all round though. Same place this time next year everyone?

Phew what a day! Only just got back to the house after the music fest - will do my best get some results on web tomorrow (our webmiester is on his way back from Wasdale) Really enjoyed the whole experience - seeing 93 runners on the start line made it all worth while. Think my race time may have been effected by the heavy burden of responsibilty (thats my excuse anyway!) or more likely still being in the pub at 1am on Friday.

Sam Swindles was first Heptonstall resident (15th - and his first ever fell race - stunning)

Good turn out from Baku hash house harriers! Did nt get many other teams from Azerbaijaan this year -maybe they can put Heptonstall in their club champs next year.
Well done to Stephen Heath for making the long and expensive journey - Heptonstall Hurriers like the Hash House Harriers - perhaps we can twin with you guys in Baku - looking forward to running a race there soon......

Nice to see runners making journeys from Cantebury and Melton Mowbury too - it certainly felt like a well attended first running hope everyone might consider joining us next year....
