JTE 2008

So, we are all asked to state our goals for 2008. My basic aims are to do the Anglezarke Amble and to be with Young John for part of his Joss Naylor. (Young John, are you ready to post your date? EtU) I will see how the Amble goes before making any further plans.There is the Howarth Hobble in March. (I must be mad for even mentioning it.) However, in preparation for the Amble I need some distance training and perhaps the committee might consider any of the following for a (fine gale free) Saturday morning.

DARWEN TOWER: 16 miles.

Out directly and back via Great Hill and Spittlers.

CADSHAW AREA: 17 miles.

Winter Hill, ramp, Egerton Road (GR 681157), Belmont (GR 677163), Blackburn Road (GR 699172), Cadshaw Area (GR 703181), Higher Pasture Barn Farm (GR 671189), then Catherine Edge to Belmont, Horden Stoops and finish.

TURTON AND ENTWISTLE RESERVOIR; 19 miles.

Out directly to Belmont, over Belmont Reservoir dam then to Blackburn Road (GR 699172). Around Turton and Entwistle Reservoir to Cadshaw Area (GR 703181) then all as the Cadshaw Area route back to the finish.

Perhaps Pauline would check the distances.

Regards,

JTE

Good stuff John, count me in. In fact no half measures, I'm up for resurrecting the old team for the Hobble (if I'm not in Rome ~ can an LDWAer give us a date). It might might be nice to have a lady on board as a distraction from the pain; any takers?
