LDWA events

[Alan Greenwood]

Regret to say you may not get results from Scarborough Rock because LDWA events don't always have them and often the certificate you get does not show the time on it either. You just have to keep a record yourself. Certainly this was so on That's Life. The reason for this is that LDWA events are not supposed to be a competition as such but just a challenge for each individual. Must admit that even as an LDWA member I like to see my mates times so naturally we do them for The Hebden. Hope this might stop you searching for something that does not exist when you could be out training or whatever.

True on the results Alan, though depends on local LDWA group I suppose. I'm fairly sure I saw some from Rudolph Romp. Which was organised by East Yorks like the Rock.

So who's doing Rombalds? Could be interesting if the snow continues. My preference for these things is a bit soft underfoot, but I was told by a friend of a recent recce'r that they had nearly gone waist deep in mud up there on the moor a week ago. When I last ran over the same bit it was completly iced over and nearly weight supporting.

No ice currently. Well over an inch of snow so far and the next lot just rolling in. Some of this morning's was being blown sideways so expect some drifting on the top.

Sorry, Drunkeneuphoria, there are results for Scarborough Rock. I have a PDF copy of them and to make amends can send you a copy if you have not received yours by email. Glad I was too late with an entry for Rombalds. You will need Eskimo snow shoes to get round.

Alan,
The new Rombald's route may be more 'character-building' with the increase in moor-top running, but snow and ice are preferable to slop and bottomless bogs, unless the snow is a foot or more deep.

[Drunkeneuphoria]

Cheers Alan, but I got a copy yesterday too.

I agree on weather BritNick, if ice hardens things up a bit it can be a bit easier on the legs. However if its chopped up snow thats iced up it just presents an equal challenge due to traction/grip loss. Also doesn't help much if there is a small blizzard going on

Clear blue skies currently. No melting though - temperatures around zero.

Snow depth about 3 inches around me (altitude 150m overlooking the route between Burley-in-Wharfedale and Menston)
