Tonight's headtorcher

[shaunaneto]

1hr and a bit on Bishop Hill, in darkest Fife

Great to be able to run without being shin deep or worse in snow, for some reason I felt a bit spooked on the hill.

Full moon 'torcher. 5 miles / 1,000ft up the Beacon with five club mates. No sign of the moon but a couple of pints of York Brewery Guzzler made up for it in the Swan

One of those rare Tuesdays when the Bowland Bats give Carwags/Beacon Fell a miss. Tonight was the annual torchlight trot around the Tolkein Trail from Hurst Green, via Stoneyhurst College ( where the man's son was educated ) and along the riverside paths on sections of the Hodder & Ribble. About 7 miles but not much ascent. The drying wind & sunshine of the past few days, plus the cold, hard ( but not frozen) ground meant that this was the first such occasion in several years that we arrived back at the cars in a clean and presentable state. Then off to The Indian Lounge in Longridge to consume the "Fires of Mordor".

Amazing how the dry weather has changed conditions underfoot this last week or two. "The Fires..." always makes me chuckle :w00t:

Very dry underfoot tonight. Beautiful evening for our regular Wednesday-nighter. 5 ml / 700ft?

6 mile or so above Skipton with Dave C and his chocolate lab Ollie. Another lovely night to be out. Wore Walshes :thumbup:

Great run round Ponden Kirk - ran with my boy and my dog so pretty perfect!

Had a great run over the east side of Kinder with the PFR crew last night.
I never knew there where so many trig points up there!!

While Paul and I were doing our aimless meandering below 3 knolls we were wondering who those people were with their aimless meandering of the headtorches up on the hill

It may have been meandering... but it wasn't aimless :closed:
