Bradfield Boundary

Bradfield Boundary on Sun 29th Dec 2024

The weather was very kind to us for the Bradfield Boundary revival run. 10 hardy souls congregated at the gates of Loxley Junior School at a very unsocial hour equipped for the 12 hours that lay ahead. This 25th anniversary of the original round had a very autumnal feel with a strong cold wind on the tops across the 1894 stone, nothing compared to the horizontal snowfall the weekend before, which could have been a different story entirely. 

The rejuvenated schedule was fairly accurate but a fast start meant we were well up on time at Langsett Cafe and so opted for a very sociable sit-down breakfast butty and mugs of tea. Possibly a boundary first! (and last?)

After an arduous crossing of the moors to Fairholmes we were still about 30 minutes up on a 12 hour schedule. More tea was consumed but Adam and Kev decided to call it a day here. The remaining 8 kept pace to the finish arriving back at the school with half an hour in hand. 
List of full completions below for posterity. 

Thanks go to:
- Mr Ian Winterburn for providing an outstanding on-hill in-grough support service near the 1894 stone!
- Richard Hakes and Hannah Saville for excellent road support throughout the day.
