Hey Mike, just seen your account on your blog but couldn't leave a comment (kept asking me to choose a profile then not doing anything) so here it is.
Great to see the moors again and great that you had a fab run out in what must have been balmy conditions.
Wish I could have been there to give you, Nick, Rodders, IDP et al a cheer on !
And I see that the Bog Monster's as hungry (or should that be thirsty ?) as ever.![]()
Aye, the rib is painful, but livable. I fell on the gorse hill going down to Crow Edge. I knew it was bad, but I had paid my twelve quid and wanted to get my money's worth so I carried on. It got slowly worse, at mile 17 I was shuffling along like a diamond white tramp. I still got in three minutes faster than last year at 4:44!
If, when I get back down to the other side, we will charter a boat and catch a whooper or two!
Next year we will be a little more strict. no starting the long after 8.30. I knew you and Linda would get round no problem but we have to draw the line some where...
Hi Ian
It was completely my fault as I glanced at the FRA site and saw 10am. I totally forgot that me and Madeleine had set off with the walkers last year at 8.
Sorry, promise we won't do it again. Big thanks to the MRT for looking after us so well, in fact we got quite settled at Fiddlers Green, they were trying to tempt us with sausage rolls and soup!
top day out yesterday, many thanks to WMRT for such a great event, i'll definately be back...
i didnt have the best of runs, was bang on time by fiddlers green then blew up running along the dam road.....and then both calfs cramped up running down the road in hades edge....got back in 3.35 which was probably 15mins or so slower than expected...
well done rachFR, youll be pleased to know Sheila's shoes have survived the washing machine and are looking as good as new...
Great day. Thanks to all the organisers. Seemed to be more bits of tape than usual - thanks to who did that and cleared them all up after. Food and drink was great after. Missed buying a crate of rescue ale had my dosh ready!
