[gpx2graphics map 523] As balmy a night as it gets in early November, with 19 stalwarts on hand to admire Andy’s sometimes dubious lines to the scene of another of Big Bob’s rare navigational hiccups (so Andy alleges). It appeared to many of the assembled company, however, that rather than Read more
The pre-champs potter was distinguished first by the high proportion of women taking part – a good third of our number by my estimation – and second by the quite atrocious line to the Knoll taken by editor-in-chief Holmes. Other local landmarks included the Ruby and Head Stones, Ocean View Read more
A moderate gathering with even Jim Fulton (whom, more of later) and the Safety Officer, not known for gracing us with his presence away from the guerilla warting sub-sub section outings. The route took us up a new footpath from the dam up towards Holdsworth and then, using a degree of local Read more
A starry starry night and a good turnout for a surprisingly orderly traverse of Houndkirk Moor, down and up to Totley trig, a bit of messing around in tussocks en route to Burbage Edge, and a gentle canter back to the vehicles. Good to see Roy G back in circulation Read more
Somewhat disconcertingly, there was a good deal of talk of maps and the use thereof, which slowed progress markedly in the first half of our jaunt. Fortunately no-one seemed able to spot Bamford stone circle on their bits of dampening paper, so we were left to fall back upon Andy’s Read more
A sub tropical night with temperatures more reminiscent of mid summer in the south of France. 27 runners set off on this inaugural 2011/12 warts runs. There was an unusual sense of agreement about the route! Normally we have at least 10 minutes argument prior to any warts run but this time Read more
[gpx2graphics map 517] It took Cap’n Harmer less than five minutes to start grumbling about a certain Mr Haem and his fellow deserters; and he was still smarting when we alighted at the pond below Mam Tor, a little damp and chastened by some rather dubious descending. This notwithstanding, Andy Read more
A small contingent met at Broomhead Hall including an injured Capt. Harmer who opted for a gentle walk. Not content with the usual run, young Berzins decided to take us on a tour of the nether regions of this part of the World. First stop via the girders was the pond, then the ruin Read more
End of another season. Perhaps, after such a spendid Warting last week in the Upper Derwent – mist/bogs and all, the Stepping stones of Bamford would not compete, however a good night in Jarvis clough and environs, even if the 2nd stone circle proved elusive. This year another night race Read more
An excellent run, ably led by Bob from Yorkshire Bridge over to Stanage Edge. No clag to contend with, and I don’t think anyone got lost, although we managed to not find the second stone circle, which is par for the course. I think Clive may have been heading towards Read more
