The original Adventure weekend was mooted a while back. The premise being that on a given weekend, people from the Harriers might meet up in a Pub on the Friday night, discuss what they might try and do on the weekend that would challenge themselves either physically, mentally, or indeed both, before dispersing, doing said …
So some stuff was happening this weekend. The weather stayed… well, it stayed mixed, as you might imagine. The birds were shining, the sun was singing and all was well with the world. It was also the Glossopdale Adventure Challenge Weekend, which I will put up a bonus post about at a later stardate. For …

Crikey – GDH have been busy this weekend. I’ve written all the stuff below, and am just about to do the intro and outtro (ah, my guitar-ing days are not behind me), and there are already more than a thousand words. Not all of them make sense, I have to warn you. Personally I have …
I’d like to start by saying a big thanks to Steve Pepper who had the baton passed to him (thrust into his hand) for the past couple of weeks. Despite juggling baby care, revision and general bits and bobs he still managed to get a report out vaguely on time – Thanks Steve. So what …
Last one from me folks, the skipper is returning soon having been banished from the Alps for crimes against marmots and getting ‘too close’ to Killian Jornet at a signing event.

With our esteemed mens captain laid low by the demon drink, ‘IT problems’, the job of collating this weeks GDH based shenanigans has fallen to me once more. First order of business has to be Chairman Johns birthday, as fantastic a night of food, drink and dancing as anyone could wish for. Ben provided a …

Just a thought, but if …

It’s blimmin windy out at the moment, isn’t it? Still, there seems to be an inordinate amount of running going on, not just in races, but around and about the hills as well. A glance at the Strava club page turns into a bit of a scroll-fest as I look for what people have been …
Rain. Shine. Rain. Shine. Rain. Hail. Rain. Shine. And that’s indoors. Only goodness knows what it is like up on them there hills. Looks like a fair amount of out and about-ness has been happening this week. As ever, if you haven’t told me about it, then unless I was doing it, it won’t get …
