See you soon.
Glad to hear all went well. Pleased with your time Clive? ... looked a good 'un to me.
Ducked out of this in favour of the postponed Macc Harriers Fell Handicap on Sunday. I opted to up the mileage and do two laps (equating to ~30 miles and 7500'), so was the only entrant to arrive at the start with a headtorch - left home before 7am. Long day, and very sociable, but I couldn't face the last 3-4 miles once I'd warmed up with cake and soup, so blagged a lift home. Plenty of snow on the top of Shining Tor though, and it was falling thick and fast...
Very pretty and I didn't mind living up to the "Lantern Rouge" moniker!
Sorry I missed the pub... sounds a good 'networking' session!
Have to do the Hebden another year.
Delayed thanks from me to Alan, Carole and crew for another excellent Hebden. Even though it was 2 weeks later than usual it still turned out to be the first event of the year, thanks to the weather.
It was good to meet you Merrylegs, and Duracell, Socks, Chris, Splatcher, etc.
Thanks to some serious unfitness on my part this turned out to be a Personal Worst. Be positive; it's the beginning of an uphill climb to fitness. Next one's That's Lyth!
Re: The Hebden 23rd January
Enjoyed the Hebden. The route was tougher than i expected but good. This was my 2nd event of the year. The 1st being the Hangover Hike on new years day. A small event but worth doing especially if you want to get rid of a bad head from the previous night
I wrote a report for Strider (LDWA magazine). Not sure if it will get published - if not it was probably too long, even though it was the abridged version.
I uploaded a slightly extended(!) version to my blog. The pictures I took are linked. Happy reading. If you find it bland and boring, bear in mind it's raw and raunchy compared to the abridged version.
The website for the above has now been set up and can be accessed at www.alangreenwood.biz/index.html Same people, same route, same food, same enjoyment.
I'm in - one of my favourites.
Me too. One of the best organised LDWA events around and a good way to kick off a year's training
Entered.
This can mean only one thing..............it'll soon be Christmas!
Merrylegs asked me to post this for you Alan:wink:
