New year Christmas craker somewhere in the lakes. Was an odds and evens score event so you had to get the all the odds or evens first then the others. Picked a decent route and swapped to evens in a good place. Got them all and finished with 9 mins to spare. Came 2nd over all behind Duncan archer who got them all in 35 mins :/ 1st m18 mind as Alex McCann got them all 2 mins slower than me :)

C • 2 mins 1

Malhamdale fell race. Decided to run the adults for the first time ever. First checkpoint at top of a hill close by. Didn't know the route so followed mark chapman to the next which was at the bottom of malham cove in the river before the next was some 300 feet above our heads at the top! Once I'd got there oli Johnson, Neil northrop and some others came past me! Turns out I was beating OJ halfway round a fell race :P (he may have got lost) kept up with them kind of down the hill to the bottom of gordale scar waterfall that we then had to climb up :/ I got stuck so they ran away from me. I finished in about 8th place only 9 mins down on rob baker who won and about 7 mins down on OJ ;) not too bad :P

C • woo mikey! nice one c: 7

Ran up pen-y-Ghent with mike and Alastair pedley. Some pritty steep bits that we had to walk up but ran most of way, stopping once or twice for alastair. I did an extra loop to them when I got to the top to add a bit of distance on so did that quick plus going back down quick too.

At malham all weekend so lots of running coming up

Adams family informal beer trail. Format was that you were given the position of the first control and at that control is a coordinate for the next and so on till the end. Did the long and as it turned out there was only 2 of us doing it so we ran together. Similar route to the run with Julie. Up past blackpool bridge cutting back down to the fields to Holme. Then across to yateholme reservoir before going up the other side of the valley and back down to the house where, as I'm not old enough yet :(, had to have a coke instead of a beer.
