OMM 2017
Seniors BlogLooking at this picture of the descent to the finish of the OMM* on Sunday you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a soft option this year. The results at the overnight camp though give a fuller picture of what it was like on the first day: Elite: 10 finishers out of 41 starters A class: 10 […]
LIADers and LIADettes go wild in Cumbria
Seniors BlogLakes in a Day seemed to have been a long time coming. Looking back now, from beneath an ice pack, I can’t believe it’s over. Caldbeck to Cartmel, via High Pike, Blencathra, Clough Head, the Dodds, Helvellyn, Grisedale Tarn, Fairfield, Ambleside, Claife Heights, High Dam, Finsthwaite, Newby Bridge and Bigland Tarn. Variously described as anything […]
Bob Graham Round 2017
Seniors BlogThursday 29th June 22.30 It’s well known that the weather can make or break a Bob Graham attempt.

Mike was picked up in the morning and clumsily bundled into the van like a fumbled get-away! Annie […]

So 4 years later here I was, lined up with […]
Coniston Fell Race
Seniors BlogWhat a cracking race! Steep climbs, fast descents, rocky technical sections great views and excellent cakes at the finish. Perfect! No wonder Matt Fretwell chose this as a first attempt at a longer race; apparently he’d never done anything as long as this 9 mile, 3,500ft classic. Hard to believe for such a good runner […]
Hester’s Hobble…
Seniors BlogWhat a race, what a route and what a lot of mud! The Haworth Hobble is 32 miles of beautiful Bronte country and starts with a run up the cobbled high street past the parsonage. We soon also passed Top Withins, which is alleged to be the inspiration for Wuthering Heights. Despite its accumulated ascent […]
