Coiners

[pauljonesforengland]

great day for a run, with a bit of hail thrown in on top...

just when you thought it was a dry day...the bog was introduced....I did go around the lake though!

was denied a visit to the spiritual home (I assume) of fantasy fellrunning, The Shoulder of Mutton, as it was closed but was pleased to discover the Robin Hood in Cragg Vale on the way home.

Well marshalled, I was slower than most but at stages had no runners visible in front and found it well flagged.

Indeed it is !
Sorry to hear that it was closed , but the Robin Hood is a good pub anyway

Just a reminder to all that the Coiners is back on Monday May 2nd at 1.30

A great medium race 7 miles and 1100' with some lovely boggy bits.

Parking and registration as usual in Mytholmroyd Community Centre, please remember to allow 10 minutes to get to the start from registration.

Please don't park on the road to the start/finish as the people who live there really like to get in and out of their homes on Bank Holidays.

Hope to see you all there.

Wonder how my legs will feel after the 3 peaks? Think I had the same situation last year and got round some how
Looking forward to marshalling for junior races
Busy week - 3 Peaks, Coiners, and Calderdale Way (must buy some extra porridge.....)

Did the recce on Tues eve and even after the recent dry spell the section after the plantation was still rather boggy.

That boggy section is the highlight of the race for me. May try & be there for a post Peaks stagger (Not that I'm taking Staggers name in vain )

[martmason]

Yep it stopped me in my tracks resulting in a comedy pile up behind... unfortunately don't think I will be able to capitalize on all the tired legs from the back of the field....

Looking forward to this tommorrow, the thread's been quiet what with the PPP and all. Looks like a simple enough course, a climb followed by a run followed by a descent. How much room for manoveurability is there with the route, is the flagging fairly restrictive?

I'll decide tomorrow on this (as something has left me drained today and slept most of afternoon!!) but looking at the route map I don't see any point of not following it as most is on the obvious FPs and tracks with only 3 or 4 short sections 'off-piste' which I would imagine will be flagged - I'm sure a Calder Valley member will be along shortly to confirm.
