Just so you know, this sign has recently gone up at the bottom of Chunal moor on the path up to Wormstones. Evidently it’s not great that there has been (allegedly) incidence of sheep being killed, but equally, its not great that a “dog ban” might occur. Perhaps the main thing to take away here …
This week has seen markedly improved weather. I think. Let me recall back…. um. Yes, I think it has. There appears to be less snow on the tops, though the underfoot squidge hasn’t really dried out in any appreciable way. A fair few things were going on this week in terms of racing and reccying …

They let me out of one country and, surprisingly, back into this one. I’d love to say that I’m still jetlagged and not sure what time zone I’m in, hence why this report is a little late. The reality is, I must blame Matt Huxford for taking me out on a short run yesterday, which …

Evening all, some great runs out there this week and I hope I have managed to get some of that down in this weeks report. Tim will be back with his random units of measurement next week and in honour of that I may have made a few things up this week. Any complaints will …
Well the skipper is still away so I’ve bodged a collection of information for you to peruse at your leisure. Looks like people got out and about at a range of events and social runs, and I trust you all had a good time. Some inspiring performances from all levels this week as well, which …
Tim has legged it to Tasmania for a couple of weeks, assured there is no racing involved sure he’ll find something suitably daft like a 100 miles in a desert being chased by them racer snakes of off Planet Earth ll or something. Anyway here is the latest from the GDH world, any mistakes or …
So, its out with the old and in with the new. For my February resolution I’ve decided to give up beer. What? Why would you do that? Basically because I’ve spent the entire day wishing I was dead because of the worst hangover this side of Manchester. All good prep for tomorrows clash at Mickleden …
Ah, tis a waxing crescent moon that rises above Glossopdale this evening, and the glow of light pollution from Manchester, Sheffield and all those people with uplighters on their houses renders the stars yet still less visible than they should be. Having said that, it really isn’t all that often that I’m getting out for …
It has got the point where my mudclaws have given into the reality that they’re either stuffed with newspaper and lying on the floor in front of a radiator, or they’re b eing splattered through a bog. I suspect everyone else’s shoes are in much the same state. Trench foot has just about been staved …

Yes, it is the 3rd weekend of the year, it has snowed, there is low lying fog across the hills, and there it is generally pretty grim out there. Which must mean that the time is ripe for a load of people to go trogging off across moors and mountains in the name of racing …
