Saturday 8th March. Nine of us made the trip to Grindleford on Saturday, despite dire weather warnings, and the early start- a bit of a shock for Saturday. All holding our ‘dibbers’ (fell racing style), the field set off through the first few stiles and on to the rest of…
17th Feb 2008 Cold Start, Warm Finish It was a cold start: -8C when I left the house and still -2C when I reluctantly stripped down to Wilmslow racing kit. A large crowd were huddled together in the start area discussing hats, gloves and the possibility of hot drinks at…
