LDWA events

[Tussockface]

I've just read it Moley and decided to come on here for some sanity!

I'm pleased to report a great success on Saturday at the Irregulars, Black Brook. I did the medium loop on my own and then the short loop with Ollie. He didn't complain too much about me going too slow so that was good. Hubby and girls walked the short loop. And they enjoyed it. Bit windy in parts, but we finished before any really bad rain came. brill!

Glad you enjoyed it, Socks. I did all the loops last year and thought it was great. I liked the long loop best though.
I didn't know the area and I had no idea where I was going at any point and simply followed the (pages of) instructions. They were so accurate that I never got lost once, which is a real tribute to the organizers.

A few Ambleside AC-ers are doing Wensleydale Wedge (23 mile) on 16th November.


Any tips/points of interest for an LDWA virgin?

Good choice for a 1st LDWA event. Plenty of running (and runners) and usual good catering and friendly marshals. You'll love the finish too as it's largely downhill for last mile or so

It is fairly easy to find your way - on big wide track most of the time. It was a white out last year on the tops - couldn't see a thing!

Entries for the 2009 ldwa 100 are now open: http://www.wessex100.org.uk/cgi-bin/entries.pl
for anyone interested. Note that entry fee is £18.00 more for non ldwa members, but ldwa membership is only £13.00 . If that doesn't encourage a few to join, they can't be that bright .

But if they were "bright" would they be doing 100 miles?

Oxymoron there somewhere!

You do have a point!

Just tried to get on to the website to enter and it won't let me onto the site. Is it trying to tell me something?
