Over in New Zealand:- Rhys “did my first race since the FRAs yesterday – the Jumbo-Holdsworth race <\/a>in NZ. You could pick which way round you ran, so long as
\nyou visited the two peaks of Jumbo and Holdsworth (both over 1400m). The race
\nstarted at 300m in the thick NZ bush at 8am to avoid the heat of the day. I went
\nvia Jumbo first to ge the udulating riverside trail out of the way early, and
\npulled away from a fella as we hit the very rough uphill. Crossing over with the
\nrunners who chose the other way round was unnerving as you had no idea how you
\nwere getting on so I ran hard down the 6 mile downhill trail, also rather rough
\nin spots but good fun. Pleased to be in good shape at this stage of the year. “
DT – this appears to be a classic understatement, as Rhys was 10 minutes clear – results<\/a>.<\/span>, 2hrs 22mins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Calderdale Way Relay<\/a>.  is Sunday 19th May. Last year we managed no teams, but if anyone should wish to get organising something?  It’s a busy weekend of other attractions, though – and especially Simon’s Seat the day before…<\/span>
 Kinder Trial:<\/span> – results<\/a>
 Blakes Heaven –<\/span>
 White Holme Circular <\/span>–

Notts Fell Championships 2013. Dicky Wilkinson is ” organising the Notts Fell Champs for 2013 again and tagging it on to the
\nWolf’s Pit race in March.”
<\/a>This flyer <\/a> might, at last, be the right one. As ever, Carshare’s mess-up, as if Dicky would ever do such a thing…

Dark Peak Fell Runner
\nApprehended for Running in the Woods! <\/span>(alias Steve Matthews..)<\/span>
“Did you ever wonder if
\nthe Police Helicopter was watching you \u2013 or were you just being a bit paranoid? <\/span>Yesterday (20<\/span>th<\/sup>
\nJan)<\/span>  I was out for a steady local
\nfootpath run; clambering over the stile at Dore & Totley Station to head up
\ninto Poynton Woods, I noticed the Police Helicopter come steaming in from the
\nsouth west and come to a halt in a lowish hover above and slightly in front of
\nme. As I climbed up into the woods it dropped down even lower over the railway
\nand then appeared to follow me as I ran along through the woods. I dropped down
\nto the river level then zig zagged back up to the top of the bank and threw in
\na quick loop into the houses at Bradway Bank, and sure enough the Eye in the
\nSky came barrelling round the estate to keep me in view. Adrenaline levels were
\nup a bit now but still not 100% convinced I found the footpath down to the
\nbottom of Totley Rise, sprinted down there as fast as I could, over the
\nfootbridge and then came to a halt in an alleyway behind the shops. Sure enough
\nthe helicopter overshot and then came around to catch me again as I doubled
\nback down Laverdene Avenue. I decided that trouble might be brewing if I
\ncontinued evading the law, so headed through to Abbeydale Road where I reckoned
\nI might find some uniforms waiting for me\u2026.sure enough two police cars boxed me
\nin like a trapped rat at the end of Bushey Wood Road. A Policeman wound the
\nwindow down and after a short conversation it transpired that they were looking
\nfor someone and it wasn\u2019t me (of course!), although I was slightly worried
\nbecause I hadn\u2019t yet paid my Dark Peak Subs; also I stole a Matchbox catalogue
\nfrom Cooper\u2019s Toy Shop in Rotherham in December 1974 and I thought that might
\nhave surfaced in a \u2018Cold Case Review\u2019 like they have on the telly.<\/span><\/span>
I am fully prepared
\nfor some mickey taking, especially as I got caught (and so close to the
\nsanctuary of Totley Tunnel!), but would argue that this does <\/span>not<\/b> count for a Pertex award unless it
\ndoes actually feature on \u2018Police-Camera-Action\u2019.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ireland – Silent Valley. Saturday April 13th.<\/a>  This is British Championship, and also Carshare League. The weekend over there is recommended for any reason you like. Superb hard course, an evening of merriment, everything. If you book flights, and\/or car hire, please will you contact Carshare, or better still Willy, so that we can get a list out as to who is flying from where, so that sharing travel and car hire can be sorted out. A map will appear, or I can forward a copy, similar with Route Notes. Or help with anything else.
\n    Carshare has booked flights, just holding back on entering just yet. If you do enter, the evening meal fits nicely in with the “lively” prize-giving.<\/p>\n
