Alf, I've not seen them, wouldn't mind a look myself, I'll keep an eye out. How'd yours go? I enjoyed it though tired by end as thats longest I've been on feet for a while.

Aye Drunken , i enjoyed it too. I'm getting back to some sort of fitness so i wasn't expecting to be fit. Good food at the end thou!
Great time Drunken, if you are same person on Fetcheveryone. I sem to remember that the results will be emailed or mailed out.
That is me on Fetch, cheers Alf, think I may have aggravated a hamstring doing it so having a few days off. Looking forward to Rombalds, will be nice to know the way there but the long moorland section (longer this year), rocky valley and the chevin probably make it that bit tougher than the Rock. Last Saturdays conditions on the day would be ideal.
Then after that will be Trollers Trot for me, which was my favourite event last year. Great route yet mostly very runnable for off-road.
Is anyone doing the Wilmot Wander around Derby this coming Sunday? Or if you've done it what's it like, never done it before and torn between this or a short run round on the Tigger Tor.
I did the Wilmot Wander last year. I don't recall an awful lot about it other than that the start hall is well hidden, and the last 8miles or so are along the river then the route of the old canal, so dead flat. I don't recall it being desparately hilly or particularly outstanding, but a good enough run out if you're looking for a long one.
Sorry. Sounds like 'damned with feint praise' and it deserves better than that. Look out for the Starkholmes Stagger on 21st March - organised by the same group as a one-off revival of what is (I'm told) a superb route.
Nice one Drunken, i too am doing Rombalds. I was going to do Trollers but a mate convinced me to do the Grindleford Gallop instead. Good luck for both.
I was going to do the Trollers, done it about 3 times now and really enjoyed it but it clashes with the Haworth Hobble/Wuthering Hike. Another ldwa event that was popular with runners and is now back again, is Blubberhouse 25 on 5 April - i would recomend it, lovely area and very runableOriginally Posted by Alf Tupper
