They aren't all whippets. large range of abilities as in any big club. Try a monday night race, very informal, just turn up and set off when you want slowest first and self time, there can be 15 minutes between the slowest and fastest setting off! Bring a map of route though as like last night the fog can hide the turnings if you don't know them.

Until you try you'll never know.

What do you think Paul, you were a monday night newbie a few weeks ago

I'd agree with that - I'd never even run on the road until a couple of months ago, and every one was friendly.... even bought me a beer on the 2nd outing!

Don't worry about the speed thing, that had me intimidated too but then I turned out to be smack in the middle of the group. It's just that the fastest ones shout the loudest

You know the drill etc

Ok in order....

Dont worry about it try-mind - I turn up sometimes (not last night-not feeling well and want to do Higger on Sunday Im not a DP member and I have to set off earlier than everybody Its very informal like IDP says. It makes me feel abit "inferior" too somtimes but I just get on with it. Someone has to be at the back to make the front ones feel smug

Well you do have 4 small legs to work with. but being a woman you can handle that many

That said I don't think many work as hard as you on the hill rep days. One tough cookie.

Not like you Ian!

Still recovering but it's coming...

That can't be me then I'm so quiet and unassuming

Well Marvin and myself went from the Top of Woodhead pass over roundhill and picked up the HPM route which we ran/walked/waded/climbed along as far as Wainstones, We returned via the Boulton Wreck at White stones and the Tea plant near the 1894 stone. Still some serious snow about. I'll post some pics later on the HPM thread.

We appeared to be in the middle of a big cloud hole today what ever direction we looked had thick cloud where we had blue sky above. 12.6 miles Longest day out since Tanky's but you could call it a run as we were out for nearly 5 hours

[Marvin]

Yes, a very pleasant day out IDP. As you say, there was some serious snow still - groughs full to the top, snow crisp enough to take your weight some of the time. If only the snow had been a bit crisper, it would have been very easy running up there for a change.
