Reading TF’s account of the National Cross Country event I came across a few pictures here. I have to say that during the Beacon Bash, which was 21miles of mud,we kind of remembered why we didn’t do this event last year. FSS has some pictures here. Trotted round together in a time of 4.21 which given the conditions, I’ll take! Still, a very well organised event and great to see familiar faces, more and more runners doing these LDWA events which are becoming recognised for their friendly atmosphere, value for money and great training potential. Good to see Albert, Tony, Mark S and Sarah H trotting round, with most of these doing the new event, Peeler’s Hike next weekend.
After the run, we were sitting with the organisers of the re-launched Four Passes on 19th March – a true Lakeland classic and he was saying it’s as good as full. Entries on line shut down, if you’re interested you may still get a place by contacting the organiser direct. List of events coming up can be found here.
Given Sunday’s outing I went for a later start on Saturday, picking up Brucie. As my sister was away I thought I’d better leave a note for the lads, who were still in bed, to let them know the dog hadn’t been stolen. Drove to Wilders Wood trotted along George’s Lane, Pike, Two Lads, Burnt Edge, Quarries had flask of coffee, drove back – lads still in bed, binned note!
A bonus was running into Ed on Pike, but rain never stopped, contributing to conditions for Sunday.
