Saddleworth Runners Club

There are few places better to be than the lakes on a sunny weekend. I just returned form Reccie-ing Leg 1 of the Bob Graham with Ray Green as navigatron. We ran the whole route on saturday in great weather - with one monsoon shower - Then retired to the pub. Shaun Thompson took on the challenge of sail beck fell race while Ray and I accompanied by Tim Whittaker went for a look at an alternative descent from Blencathra via Middle tongue and Gate Gill. This looks to have great promise as it is not as exposed as Halls fell ridge (which I never enjoy in the dark). Thanks to special guest appearances from Phil Davies and Tim LOrd who hoofed it over to join us on a great weekend.

This Tuesday we are re-running the Downhill Time Trial from Fox Stone down to the little bridge across Dovestones. The plan is to meet at Dovestones Car Park (Susan Hinde take particular note) at 7.30pm (Remember it's Pay and Display) and jog round together up to Foxstone.

Anyone want to run the Chew Edges this Monday meet Tanners at 6.00pm. Alphin,Fox Stone and as far round as we can get before it goes dark(and then some).
Racing snakes need not apply.

Club Handicap Result

When asked whether she had a good run, before knowing the result, Cross Keys Killer winner Sue Hinde said "Oh, fairly average". Her handicap's obviously still too soft!

This years Frolic is Tuesday 20th May 7.00pm to try and run for 7.30pm.
We have the same ever popular run. Fell shoes advisable especially if wet!
All welcome. Lee Bowden won last year with 46m 05s and first lady was Sue Kiveal at 49m 11s.

I intend to run from Binn Green on Saturday (10/5/08) morning starting at 9am. My vague route plan at the moment involves climbing Alderman, around the edges to the milepost, over the edges by Adam's cross, across the valleys, over the edges above Ravenstones, on to Ashway and maybe further around the edges, depending on the state of me by then.

After all the running by the senior members of the Club this weekend, it was the Juniors who took centre stage at the Coiners Fell race in Mytholmroyd on Bank Holiday Monday. Both Rose Mather (yes I know she now runs for Calder Valley, but is still one of ours) and Tom Thomas were 2nd and 3rd respectively in their keenly contested races. Race Photos
