Trimpell 20 Mile – 14th March On a weekend where the marathon runners were spoilt for choice with at least 4 20+ mile races, four of us tried our luck up the M6 at the Lancaster venue. On a bright but breezy day, we joined the other 383 runners at…
Grindleford Gallop – Saturday 13th March An excellent day for the Grindleford, some mist on the hills for the 10am start, but the sun burnt through quickly leaving clear skies and some impressive views from the high parts of the course. The Gallop maintains its unique character, with walkers using…

28th February 2010 Anything near Huddersfield is going to have a lot of hills in it but this was like Langley 7 backed into the Shady Oak giving 1100 ft of ascent and some crazy downhill to match. Certainly great therapy for the legs less than 20 hours after the…
