Did a loop round Hawksworth and Reva this afternoon; there was only one other set of tracks, on my route but in reverse. Did any other forumites venture out that way? I'd say my mystery runner is pretty good, certainly strong. He/she wears Walshes (size 9 and half), has at least a 34 inch inside leg (two of them in fact), and is susceptible to knee problems...

At least you've helped to narrow down the list of suspects.
Living in the south this snow's been a real novelty!
Did a 7 miler in the Chilterns to the station yesterday morning in crisp, deepish snow with the sun rising to give a colour washed pink sky and - absolutely beautiful and just regretted I couldn't have just carried on and on!
Thought I was going to get slushed out on the way home from work, but the rain turned to snow as I got to the Chiltern esacrpment and then stopped, so had another fantastic run back home on the crisp stuff with clear, starry skies and a half moon - hardly needed my headtorch!
Brilliant! Hope we get some more -beats the hell out of the mud I usually have to run in!
that just about sums it up.
Hoping for more tonight!

he isnt a formite but would be chuffed your saying he is pretty good.
i went over baildon moor today and it didnt take long to get out of breath,ran a few direct lines over rough stuff and found the snow a great cushion,over my knees in places.
feet frozen solid when finished.
taking pack through st ives with head torches tomorow,hope still a bit of snow to aid visibility

Just run home from Bingley up Altar Lane.Very hard packed ice but soft stuff at edges and more & deeper nearer to Long Lee.Have fun.
Boo! Just spotted sole hanging off wave harriers.Need to get glue out before saturdays Rombalds Stride!
Went out on Tuesday evening with the Glossopdale night owls, up over Moorfield along the Pennine Way and then onto Kinder. The wind must have drifted the snow up against the end of Kinder as we couldn't find the usual rocky path up to the cairn, knee/waist deep all the way. Re-discovered our childhood by just hammering back down, falling and rolling like kids, probably not too smart but fantastic fun.
Followed the flags from Mill Hill to Harry Hut for about 100 yds then everything was buried, snow and heather till we got back!
John, I also enjoyed the run on Tuesday night - so much so that I went back up there again last night. My hands were cold though, even with gloves on, so I've decided to invest in some Seal Skinz.
I wish I had joined you now, I was a bit cream crackered after a day of sledging.
