I hope you don't have second thoughts now Morticia! I am getting excited that I may have Kwaka and Morticia running with me around the Trogg. Although between the two of you, with all your ultra's, marathons and fell races the past few months I think you will be dragging me around!
If you google Fell races and Hayfield, it brings up the website with all local fell races. It has previous results for the Trogg and a race profile.
It is New Mills annual carnival today. I am dressing my daughter up as an Egyptian mummy and then traditionally spectating with the other New Mills folk, standing on the street with a can of lager. Or I maybe more sophisticated and join Mrs Isac at the bottom of the road as I've been told she may have wine.
CC - maybe.
Everyone - its New Mills 'Millers' Parade today, it makes the Rio Carnival look like a dreary day in Disley !
Should be at the Boars Head on Wed.
Issac - wrt Derwentwater; dont be fooled by the slide show the pictures dont really show the hills & get Mrs Issac to enter the Challenge. Its for walkers & runners not wishing to race.
TST - It looks like that was the last Garburn race. Organisers dont think its worth putting it on again next year with all the troubles. Hope they have a re-think, is a really great run.
What time is the parade? Maybe Sam and I will come along and watch!!!!
CC--Dressing up your daughter as an Egyptian mummy should give you plenty of practice at strapping your ankle.
TST--I forgot about 'round the ressers'. That is on my list!! Decisions, decisions!!
Why has the 'New Mills Annual Carnival' been organised on the same day as the 'New Mills Millers Parade'? Stupid Hillbillies!!! Will there be fighting between the two sets of organisers? If so, what time does it start?
GBM - Good point re strapping my ankle!
Morticia - Do not worry about your speed at feel races. My plan is to just get around it, I will probably need to walk alot up the hills.
Jonah8--Sorry!! Just remembered!! Good Luck at the 3 Peaks today.
CC--Are you just going to wrap a load of bandages around your daughter or are you going to put her in an jewel-encrusted mummy case and wheel her about like Hannibal Lecter?
No 9-EQUIPMENT
Competitors should arrive at races prepared to carry any or all of the following equipment:a)
Windproof whole body cover.
b) Other body cover appropriate for the weather conditions.
c) Map and compass suitable for navigating the course.
d) Whistle.
e) Emergency food (long races).
These requirements constitute "best practice" and are mandatory at all Category A Long and
Medium races.
In the event of settled fine weather, confirmed by a local weather report, the organiser may decide
to waive some of the above requirements for races of other categories.
Morticia--Hopefully the weather will be ok. If it is, then i am just going to carry some drinks, gels and snacks.
CC - mgmt is working next sunday, and does remember coming in, and only does flatter fell races. So she'll not be joining you. Sorry.
DB/Kwaka - how did Garburn go? I can't be bothered looking back through the thread!
Is anyone running tomorrow morning? M6 and I fancy a good 90 minutes run if anyone is about, if not we'll run from here.
Have a look later if nothing I shall accompany you, if i do the trog i would like to have a close look at south head (the last bit i think)
Garburn went well, nice day, great route, fantastic downhill. Derwent nearly full if you want to enter.
Anyway - yes I fancied a section of the trog route tomorrow. How about we meet at the bottom of the snake path at 8.30 (on the road to the campsite from Hayfield city centre, lots of free street parking), go up the Path to the shooting cabin, on up william clough to the kinder plateau, then follow the trog route from there. When we have done the south head/mount famine bit we can either drop back down to Hayfield or finish off from peep 'o' day. This shoud be about 3-4 miles shorter than the full route, cutting out the Lantern Pike bit which most of us know and love already.
I'll be leaving at about 8.00 to pick up DB, so if anyone wants a lift let me know.
SH, well done, thats a fantastic result!
(Definitely adopted.)
M6s--Welcome home!!!
BTB--What sort of pace are you doing tomorrow?
Would love to join you tomorrow but we went to pick up the cat earlier only to be told they were closed - miserable buggers! So we need to run close to home/Disley so we can pick up Onions between 10 and 11 - the cattery is so flexible!
DB - make sure you remember the route of the Trog - I'm relying on you!
DB - Tell Andy Norman to keep his beer gut under control
GBM - wasn't going to run tomorrow but if you fancy an early morning plod at 8 min + ish pace for about 6 to 8 miles then let me know. Can meet you near yours at about 8.30am. Let me know.
Mort - If I get to GBM's can you take me also? Sorry to be a goosberry.
SH - most impressive. Glad no one mentioned your time as it would only shame us.
Boiling hot again 24 miles 7000ft ascent,5.35 second place overall and second fastest vet team,another 2 shields for the collection.
Leg fine just knackered,last year I could of run it twice,this year just about got round.
One of the blokes I ran with today is one of the organizers for the Bob Graham,talked me in to having a crack at it next year.
SH Well done fantastic achievement.
M&M welcome home hope you had a good holiday and thanks for lending me the stuff for todays race,I might pop round to drop them off and show you the new motor
Well done SH.
Welcome back M&M6.
Welcome back BTB.
TST - the trouble with the water station, vandals on the course, logistics of getting people/kit from start to finish & back & I think some of the land owners were getting a bit pety.
BTB--Sorry!! Welcome back to you too!! Did you eat at The Magpie?
