Well made it back from skiing body in one piece not sure about the legs.
Forecast is not great with cold northerly and possible snow showers but that only makes it more interesting.
Anyone travelling up Saturday morning there are bad roadworks on the road from Ambleside so come in via Torver if you are coming from the south and allow time as it will be busy from the north just allow extra time for the roadworks.(they were there last weekend anyone no any differant)
Will be enjoying the beer and footy in The Crown i think there is usually a big crowd from Wesham in there good luck to everybody
Anybody else staying at the Waterhead this weekend ????
The roadworks are probably still there (don't know for sure) - in fact, as the holiday season is about to start in earnest, there are roadworks all over the Lake District. Best advice is give yourself plenty of time whichever way you are coming.
Weather has been wet & windy all week so expect some largish puddles on the road as we go round.
It should be noted, though, that today's weather is no clue as to what may happen in Coniston on Saturday. Last time I was over there was for a trail race in October - it was warm and sunny on the Friday, then about six weeks worth of rain fell in eighteen hours from Friday midnight causing the race (Saturday) to be rerouted off the hills and almost turned into a swimming event - all before the sun came out on Sunday morning! Anything can happen.
Look forward to seeing people there - have a good one everybody.
Just had my massage and ready to go for it weather permitting would like to get a 1.26 or quicker if that is possible but will be happy finishing in under 1.30 this year, pulled a muscle at 7 mile last year and had to limp to the finish.
Dont drink all the ale before i get up there !!!!!!
Just packing my bags ready to get away at lunch time after a morning at work tomorrow.
Could do without sleet & snow & gales, but I guess it'll still be 14 miles (or even 13.8!) whatever the weather!
Good Luck
I am just leaving in the next ten mins.
Looking foreword to a good weekend .
Best of luck everyone.
Leaving about 5.30 staying at Ship Inn will be running in East Cheshire Harriers vest with black long sleeved top underneath if the weather is going to be awful. Not run all week been at Disneyland Paris with grandson so walked about a hundred miles though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck everyone

Great to meet you Elderly
hope everybody had a good run the wind was a bit tough in places and had a bit of a effect on the times every year i forget how tough that race really is at 9 mile in i was well inside my pb for the course but ended up 1 min slower Brantwood got me again but happy with 1.27.27.
Did everybody get there times they were after
Hi Pete. Great run, my best ever on that course is 91mins a helluvu long time ago. Beats the sh*t. out of my133min yesterday. I think I will have to start training
Never mind I had a great weekend up there.
Well done everyone. What a great day.
Thaks for the results link Pete. Just the job as I do the press reports for the club.
patrunner. I am giving you ten years.
Thanks for the results link from me too.
I enjoyed the day as always - I decided that it wasn't a day to be chasing a quick time so took it steady throughout. Pleased to be round just inside 1:49, which is about average for me, despite suffering discomfort from a heel bruised during a trail race last week. Think I better rest up for a few days before resuming the Windermere build up.
Hi everyone
I enjoyed it too. The road works were a pain. I just made it on time too.
I did just under 2hours, which I was pleased with. beats my time last year by nearly 18 minutes (I only started running this time last year)
Great views, great atmosphere- still my favourite race ever. Next for me is the Keswick half and then its windermere for me too
It is an ace day isn't it? It's my favourite race of the year and so far each time I ve got faster, I think I was one behind you Pete this year. I came in 23rd and i think you're the guy from Wesham who came 22nd? The wind on the far side of the lake was a bloody struggle!!
I'll be back next year.
thin white Duke it was you that was pushing me hard from mile 9 if it wasn't for the downhill you would have got me, could not stay with the two lads that came past me.
You had a great run to beat young Karl that was behind you,i better watch out for you next year i will listen for the rattling keys coming up behind me
if you're looking for results I have then on my site too now
