Leg 5 was tough, but enjoyable apart from suffering up Rooley Moor Road. Was suprised by the end to see we had pulled one place back as loads overtook us.

Hope Pudgy enjoyed running with my weekend running partner on leg 2, he said it was tough for him.
Vince, did you feel that force 10 hurricane after top o' leech, just as you turned left and up a steepish bit into Cowpe Moss quarry, before the flat section? Flippen eck it nearly blew my wig off, it was like being in a wind tunnel

True Gaz. After our painful spikey rain experience up there I took a balaclava this time. Widdy mentioned you were drafted in and Calder Valley did really well.
I think after the slog up the cobbles and then the flat, it was quite nice to have the sheltered bit, but by heck you felt the fury of nature on that turn. But funnily enough, that was the only bit really. Apart from the start, but you had adrenaline to counter that!Vince, did you feel that force 10 hurricane after top o' leech, just as you turned left and up a steepish bit into Cowpe Moss quarry, before the flat section?

What was great up there was just as you came over the top, you could see practically the whole route laid out around you.
I was really pulled round by Ben Mounsey on leg 4. He gave stacks of encouragement and even opened all the gates for me
All in all a great run for me.
with regards
Gaz
