Mytholmroyd:- A bleak, wet, cold trip round those moors above Mytholmroyd, all around Sheepstones trig point. We seemed to plenty of Leg 4 Calderdale, mixed with some Wadsworth Trog. Any Calderdale Leg 5 runners must be extremely grateful for the relay’s change of date, as hanging around at Wainstalls would have been right bad…
BG Musical Serenade. There’s “a programme on Radio 4 next Friday (16th) which is about an attempt on the Round, and also about an Italian fella who has composed some music inspired by fell running. Or something like that! Sounds interesting, and whilst we may be at work when its on it should be on the iplayer. More info here:”
Pennine Bridleway Relay – Sunday 5th February. As on the News Item, Tony Heron is sorting out the Vets Team. Details, etc. For once it doesn’t clash with Tigger Tor, (races for next year are within the FRA website). I can’t see Calderdale getting the usual support from us, really – 12th May, and on that weekend are British Championship (Ireland), Mount Famine, Cressbrook and Fairfield – so the Pennine Bridleway will be gaining in importance. Every reason to go hard for it?
Tour de Helvellyn , 38 miles, for those who like such stuff….
Monday’s Guardian . A good little article, well worth a read.
No help needed with this photo, really. Somewhere in the Burbage Valley,
Calderdale Relay – is anyone bothered?
