Lynn Bland has asked me to coordinate this year’s male vet team for the Pennine Bridleway. We thought that with the virtual demise of Calderdale this would be an excellent opportunity to get out a strong vets team. The Pennine Bridleway is very similar to Calderdale in character, with 5 paired legs of more or less equal distance (typically about 9 miles/1500 ft, with one shorter 5 mile leg and a longer 12.5 mile one), of generally fast running along undulating trails with the odd big hill and some short bits of road thrown in. I am told that the route finding is generally more straightforward than Calderdale, with better and more consistent signposting. We are probably looking for a ‘squad’ of about 12-15 runners. So if you are free and aged 40 or over on the date of the race, please get in touch (either via t.heron@sheffield.ac.uk or phone, 07709443975), giving me some indication of your likely form. Hopefully some of us might be able to do some reconnaissance of the route over the festive period.
