Blubberhouses 25

[DinoF]

All-runnable makes me smile, especially when applied to routes I struggle to walk However, the Blubberhouses route is pretty much all-runnable. The biggest climb (Beamsley Beacon) is around 60% of the way round so save a bit on the day, especially if you're racing the day before :closed:

Are you doing it DT? If so I will see you there! If not I'll tell you exactly how runnable it wasn't on Sunday afternoon.

Not doing it but I've done it before so have a good idea of runnableness / unrunnableness of the route. Have a good 'un mate!

Officially 3 although last year iirc there were 4, with the best spread being at CP6 (out of 8) at Deerstones, soon after re-crossing the A59 - about 14 miles in.

I'll be there but struggling a bit with achilles so may well be on a c5hr+ 'brisk walk' schedule.

Decided to be sensible and after much prevarication am going to rest the achilles and give this a miss.:thunbdown:

Oh and it is definitely 'all runnable' - apart perhaps from the steps up to Thruscross Res CP and maybe BB - enjoy all!

Pity MT and DT. It's looking like a good day for it, I hope.

May even take my camera and concentrate less on running.

Have a good time, all. There's a dirty big rock sticking up out of the muddy path just after you pass Blubberhouses cricket club (having crossed the A59). You'll probably notice a body print in the mud immediately after it, do me a favour and swear at it will you?

No prizes for guessing where I was last night.

Ouch! Hope you aren't too bad Martyn. Sounds close to where I fell on the 'flat' muddy path heading back to Blubberhouses/Fewston car park after a loop around Thruscross Res last weekend.

Looking forward to seeing the pics DinoF - don't forget to enjoy the food too!

Thanks to all involved with today's blubberhouses, we were blessed with lovely weather which made it all the better. Cheers to the runners who helped with the route finding.

any garmin stats? mine was kind enough to die after 18 miles with the added bonus of not even recording what I had covered.

Mine had 24.14 miles and 3097' !! Nearly as much climb as Coledale yesterday. I hadn't realised the 25 had that much climb in it.

Mine clocked 23.98 mile, glad it wasn't 25 mile, I was shattered at the end.
