The team was SN, NicO, TF, Matt, YJ, EtU, a new Ray, and me. I thought of calling new Ray “Matt 2” but as he didn’t have thin legs the name would not have been appropriate. EtU had invited him along.
We started, again, from the Jolly Crofters end of George’s Lane, except for EtU who had run from home to join us. The route, initially, was as the previous week: Montcliffe Quarries, Burnt Edge and Two Lads. From there it was Rivington Pike, bungalow grounds, Top Barn, Rivington Green and Yarrow Reservoir overflow, there turning back to Rivington Bowling Club where EtU left us for home. The rest of us went via the castle to the side of Rivington and Blackrod Grammar taking the path via the back of Alan Sweatman’s house and on to Chorley Old Road. It was then a final slog up to the start point (which NLN, who can’t get enough road running, would have enjoyed immensely).
The main feature during the run was ice and this persuaded us, eventually, to take to the lower ground. There were many falls of various degrees of seriousness but the major stars, in terms of heavy falls, were SN, Matt and new Ray (2). SN takes the prize for the most serious fall as her blog posting suggests.
We all survived to run another day.
11.25 miles.
