Saturday UTUP

Until we are allowed back onto/up Winter Hill again, I will be reporting to Hordern Stoops (SD 655 158) each Saturday morning at 08:30 hrs and setting off to run in a generally northerly or north westerly direction.

I will post any variation from this plan.

Coope's Dozen - 2018 - ???

The date for our annual 'mob' running of Coope's Dozen has, for a number of years now, been accepted as the Saturday one week before the Borrowdale Race. This year this gives us Saturday 28th July.

This post is merely to point out that access to that part of the route to he south of Hordern Stoops, that is, most of it, may still be prohibited, and to ask for suggestions as to what we do.

Some possibilities are could be:-

Forget about it for this year.

Wait until we are allowed access to the full route.

Just do the top five.

Do the top five plus Darwen Tower.

Grateful for suggestions.

NUTNUP

Given the dreadful fire on WinterHill, it may be some weeks before UTUPing can resume on a Saturday. In the interim, if anyone fancies running in the Dales instead, you are most welcome. I can offer tea, coffee, showers, and if anyone wants to stop on a Friday night, we have spare beds. If not, it is one hour from Jn 6 on the M61 to my house.
