What a fantastic day!
It was our first time as a club at this event and all of us thoroughly enjoyed it.
A big vote of thanks to Bingley Harriers and all involved with race organisation and marshalling, there really is nothing more they could have done to improve it, even the weather was superb.
As an East Midlands based road and XC club we might have been excused for feeling a bit out of our depth but everyone we met made us feel very welcome both at the event and in the pubs before and afterwards, we all went home chuffed to bits just to have been part of it.
Pigtails is ahead of Simon Bailey, I must give my other half some training tips on his return to racing!!!Originally Posted by wharfeego
A Few More Pics To Celebrate The Magnificently Organised Event
...and he's grimacing and working hard just to keep up with your smiling face Pigtales
I notice the first, second and third teams had the first, second and third fastest navigation legs and the last five teams had the slowest five navigation legs. We needn't have bothered with legs 1,2 and 4!
It was a great day out and made even more so by our girls taking a very unexpected bronze medal. What a way for Jo Waites to celebrate her 40th birthday and comeback to the fells after along very frustrating battle with one injury after another. We did get told off (not by anyone for Bingley I should add) that we were abit loud in our support of our teams but hey if you can't support your club members on a great event in the SUNSHINE well it's a sad do. Thanks Bingley it was one to remember.
A great event. Well organised by Bingley.
Here are a few more photos:

We did our entries as first come first served this year for both the men and women so were very pleased with popping the cherries of 10 new road runners between our 2 teams. A great day out.
Sadly I seem to missing from all of the photo sets! Surely I'm not that ugly?
Dont forget, after leg 1 there were 2 East Midlands road running teams in the the top 10! Ok the lack of strength in depth kind of showed after that.....What a fantastic day!
