Anyway a peek at our website might put you off so have a look at www.alangreenwood.biz/index.html

    Surprised that a diehard LDWA member like Britnick cannot find his way round the LDWA website. Have a look at my post on 17 December 2007 under LDWA events.
    Thanks Alan, I can see it on the LDWA site now
    18th July not much good to me though, as was looking for something during kids' summer hols...

    I wanted to RUN the half Trollers Trot (12 miles) by way of training for the Grizedale 10 race on March 29th. But the entry form says the half is for WALKERS only. Shucks!

    Not sure how rigorously they will insist on this. With the Anglezarke Amble I did the long with one son and my husband did the shorter one with younger son- it said walkers only and they ran/ jogged. I think the main issue was that if you ran it fast they would not have mrashalls ( or food) in place

    Think this is true. Marshalls are sometimes at the check points before the set times but they don't always like runners arriving who won't follow the courtesy of the event.

    If you run with walkers you will be running alone, will get to checkpoints before they open, won't get any food and will arrive back at the finish way, way before you are expected.

    So what is the point? Other than just doing what you want to do!

    Me! Trollers Trot last year was my first ever event, so it holds a special place in heart

    Good to see the weather forecast is predicting a howling westerly wind on Saturday - the last four miles should be just as much fun as last year!

    Wasn't it a northerly last year, running straight into the wind up the Wharfe? If it's a westerly it'll be nothing like the same!
