Saturday 10th February - Lyme Park parkrun (club fell series) plus extension

the starting line-up

Today 14 D group runners (and a couple of fell section runners) headed off to Lyme Park in HORRENDOUS conditions to tackle the Lyme Park parkrun (part of the club winter series). The run had everything ...mud, rain, sleet, ice, wind and conditions were so bad that most finish times were down by several minutes and equipment was tested to the limit. It looks like the parkrun volunteers suffered in the cold as well as all runners have been allocated a finish time of 59m59s! (CLICK FOR RESULTS)

After the parkrun 10 of the group headed off for a 'mud bath extension' of about 3.5 miles and 5 of the group continued down to the Middlewood Way and ran home.

Sorry about the lack of pictures...it was too cold, windy and wet to use the camera!

Well done...the tea, coffee, cake, butties, hot showers etc were well deserved

Leaders: Neil, Andy, Lynda, Stewart
