Mandy’s Birthday Run:- Andy Moore sends:-“If anyone is around on Weds 23rd, there will be a run from the Sportsman at 10.30 am. It will be a very leisurely stroll through the woods, over Wyming Brook passed the Headstone to High Neb. Along to the Pole and the usual route home. Then for a couple of refreshers in the pub. In the evening, this will be followed by beer & curry in the Rising Sun & Panahar.
All welcome, but if anyone is coming for the curry, please let me know so I can confirm numbers.” e-mail.
Crookstone Crashout. – a very good set of photos…
The Stoop. – probably like Crookstone, not as bad as feared. Icy patches had a faint covering of snow to give enough grip, deep heathery snow off any track, hail sleet and driving snow at times, so loads of warm clothing and go careful. Health and Safety wouldn’t have approved, but enormous credit to Dave Woodhead, the race was always going ahead – even the children’s races. Prizes being given away to anybody in the pub afterwards, no wonder these races are respected. Rob Hope just ahead of Ian Holmes, then Andi Jones. Video to come…
We regularly have complaints about litter, gel wrappers etc, but we now know about that pile of red clothing just before the actual Stoop. If any children are disappointed on Christmas Morning, unfortunately Santa is up on’t Bronte Moors looking for his trouser bottoms…(unofficial Captions again?)
Calderdale Relay. Has anyone else, besides Gavin, done all six Legs? And I’m wondering who has done loads and loads of Calderdale Relays? (most certainly not me, I’m on a lowly total of thirteen..) Our Vets time this year, 6.24.48, was a record for DP Vets, but Clayton Vets got round in 5:55:13 in 1991… that’s going some. Winning team times are on the relay website within 1995 results.
Mike Nolan – see Comments, has also done all 6 Legs. He’s listed the runners and times, and at present has the record of 6hrs 42mins. Anyone, from any club, join in this thread? The local regulars, Clayton, Todmorden, Calder Valley must be in the reckoning?
2009 FRA Video – mine has come, so working through it. Can be ordered on-line now, £15.
