Ran to Rivington on Saturday morning, but set off later than planned and able only to catch up some of the Amble strollers before hitting the Belmont road, at which point I turned towards Bolton. Back onto the hill just before the quarries to cross Horrocks Moor, climbed to pick up the Dozen route above Winberry Hill then via Smithills Res, Holden's, Burnt Edge, Matchmoor and finally down to Lostock to pick up the car from Hilary's where we had left it after one of her curry nights ~ 14 miles.
Defying my nom-de-plume I got to the barn in good time on Sunday. Had a slow steady race despite some confusion over the route and the cut-off arrangements. Surfaces not to my liking, due to the ground having been glazed in many places by earlier runners. Ran much of it with Tony Alexander, who has turned out with us on the CD on at least one occasion. Good to see NLN and YJ turning out to spectate/support. 2:58:07 ~ more than double the Hope Brothers' times and yet another PW!
Well done to all our Amblers and in particular to FSS for a fine double outing.
