J8 -Welcome back. I think a few of us are still up for a BS recce Sunday (Start to Edale) . Was discussing with ES and GBM at track on Monday anyway.
M6 - Not forgotton that I still have your headtorch ! Will return it when I next see you. I am going to invest in one in time for BS. Can anyone recommended a particular make/model ?
**Bullock Smithy run - Sunday 11 July
It's been suggested that we run the middle bit (Edale to Earl Sterndale). This is a 17 mile section but we'll need to turn off about a mile before Earl Sterndale (on the A515) so we can run the 6 miles back to Buxton, so we'll be doing 22 miles in total.
Transport
Depart 8.06am train from Marple to Edale (departs New Mills Central at 8.14am) arriving 8.32am.
Return 12.27pm or 1.27pm from Buxton to Hazel Grove (stops at New Mills Newtown on way back).
Logistics
Eric to pick up FOAR at 7.30am and meet GBM at Hazel Grove station car park at 7.45am. GBM to get a lift with Eric to Marple station where we leave Eric's car and meet Jonah. Meet WITGB & Isaac at New Mills station. On the way back GBM drops off FOAR via Marple station where Eric can retrieve his car.
4 hours should be enough time to do the run and get the 12.27pm train back. FOAR - you will therefore get home about 1.15pm.
Participants
Eric
GBM
FOAR
Jonah
WITGB?
Isaac?
Anyone else?
PPP - I am in Gatley, whereabouts are you? If it's out of your way to come and get us, clairster and I can meet up first then meet you out there...
are we going to park at Crowden?
if we parked at the transmitter, we could do the big loop first, then depending on time/knackeredness we could nosey down t'other side o't'hill
what time are we looking to start? 8:00am?
Hope it all went well last night. Already a positive review on the site so i assume it did !
Clairster- do you wnt me to pick you up too? just lt me know.
I don't know where the big transmitter is (maybe it should be bigger) I will when I see it. But I will do whatever makes most sense and I am sure you know what you are doing!
re Offerton ditto Mort
DTS-whereabouts in Gatley?
clairster - are you going to use the flapjack to hold your car together?
PPP - if you go from Northern Tennis down Palatine Rd & through Northenden to Gatley so that you drive through the centre of Gatley, you'll then be approaching the A34 traffic lights from the right direction to get onto the M60 - I can walk down to Gatley railway station (opposite the bottom of Springfield Rd, next to the railway bridge) - is that a plan?
Enjoyed the O10K marshalling last night. It all seemed to go smoothly and there were some great performances from club members.
Eric - Another organisational masterclass for the BS recce
. Those times should be good for me even if we get the later train. After running 22 miles it would be shame not to reward our efforts with liquid refreshment.
Thank you for your Offerton 10K comments Foxy and Clairster. So much more helpful than GBM.
Those who think i never run- i did a run involving Kinder earlier (and no, not the eggs) and i did 12 miles and must have run at least half of it AND i didn't take any fags with me
I am trying to get myself up to Daz standards. I did however get a bit bored on the way back and got Gomez to come and pick me up. Much work to be done.
A few people made much the same comment about the girl at the front, but I can only assume it was the grl who came in 4th. She must have blown up somewhere between the final hill and the finish as shcame into the track as if she's was finishing an ultra rather than a 10km.
All seemed to go quite smoothly last night. Photo's should be up shortly.
NI -- well done at the wizard.
GBM - good run
What happened to tim hargreaves, was well down the times?
Wizard 5 (5.25 actually
) was splendid
Congrats to Nexus giving Damian Nicholls a run for his money!
TST - don't sound so shocked that I finished ahead of Tim
where were you anyway? - hordes of GVS there
spectacular again Nexus! great running
I would hardly say I gave Damian a run for his money. He had quite a gap on me and I'm sure he could have gone quicker if I had looked like catching him (which wasn't going to happen).
It was a tough but enjoyable race. Lots of twisty paths, styles to climb over and little hills everywhere but good fun.
Well done GBM and Daz last night. Sorry about the lack of pint GBM!
PPP - if you had turned up we might have had a chance of the team prize!
Think I might do another parkrun tomorrow.
OK this is you Race Information Service speaking
next week we have the choice of:
Tue 13th - Black Knight Charge
Wed 14th - Black Rocks FR (Matlock)
Wed 14th - Bamford Carnival FR
Wed 14th - Druid FR (Mold)
Thu 15th - Sizzler2
mort/clairster - are either/both of you definitely doing Black Rocks?
if not, I might be tempted by The Druid, as I can bob out that way after work...
