A really good turn out for our last club 'torcher of the 'winter'. 5+miles / c 900ft from the White Lion followed by cheesy baked goods, chips and Landlord :thumbup:

11 miles and 1780' and probably my last head torcher with the clocks going forward this weekend :thumbup:
Tonight's finale of the Bowland Bat-Runs saw 12 of us leave Storr's Common for the summit of Ingleborough. Despite a balmy afternoon in Lancaster, it was a very blustery evening from the off with a sharp wind from the NE.
Due to our regular hostelry of choice in this neck of the woods, Marton Arms at Thornton-in-Lonsdale, being currently closed, the apres-run was taken at The Craven Heifer in the centre of Ingleton. Having participated in all 45 of this winter's Bat-Runs organised by Andy Walmsley, Pam Farmer ( wife of the Fiendsdale RO ) was winner of the Bat Trophy .... points are awarded for attendance, 2 for the 'tame' Tuesday runs at Beacon Fell and 3 for the 'feral' Thursday runs further afield .... Roll-On November!

Well I for one am kind of pleased that headtorch season is over, having run in the dark four or five times a week since late October, mostly just me and the pooch. It will be nice for the semi-permenant headtorch dent in my forehead to be given a chance to undent itself
Stolly, was that you descending the lower section of Fell Lane, at about 6.45 p.m. last night, as our slow group was heading up?Originally Posted by Stolly

nice long loop over Kinder tonight, we just need a frost a strong wind to push over the last of the bracken and some fine running is on the books
bloody hell, this came round quick
half and half over Pendle last night, then a pint and good company.
6 x 150ft hill-reps on the Beacon with Stef, all ran. The moon popped out as we were on the way down from our last rep :thumbup:
