SOG2 - Stanmer Park

clock October 12, 2009 20:22 by author Admin
Our first SOG of the Autumn season as we'd missed Houghton due to being in the Lakes. It was another lovely morning - sunny and warm. There are few car parks at Stanmer Park and we ended up parking right up the end by the church and walking back to the Start/Registration area. I hadn'... [More]

SO Regional - Stoughton

clock October 12, 2009 20:02 by author Admin
Having just returned from the Lakes after a lovely relaxing week, it was a bit of a shock to work out exactly what time we needed to a be at Stoughton and b leave home to get there ! The reason for having to get there so early was so we could run early as we  were helping from 11am and there ... [More]

Lakes Day 6 - Evening Sprint O, Keswick

clock October 7, 2009 00:02 by author Admin
Having searched the BOF database before we left home, I knew there was an evening Street Sprint O in Keswick tonight and planned all along to give it a go. Having had a lovely day walking, our legs were probably a bit tired already, but we parked up near Fritz Park and found the Registration campe... [More]

Lakes Holiday Day 6 - Walk to High Seat and Bleaberry Fell

clock October 6, 2009 23:23 by author Admin
Our last full day in the Lakes today and the weather was so much better ! It was sunny and there was blue sky ! We got going a bit earlier today and drove round to Keswick again and round Derwent Water to Ashness Bridge. The bridge itself was really small and lovely and ran over Ashness Gill.... [More]

Lakes Holiday Day 4 - Mountain Biking Claife Heights

clock October 2, 2009 23:20 by author Admin
Well, the weather was better than the forecast today, so after some deliberation we decided to go mountain biking from the cottage again this time to the east over Claife Heights and down along the side of Lake Windermere. We left the cottage and headed down the hill towards Hawkshead, turni... [More]

Lakes Holiday Day 3 - Walk to Silver How

clock October 2, 2009 22:47 by author Admin
We'd been keeping an eye on the weather forecast for the week and it wasn't looking good for Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday... with this in mind and as it was pretty overcast when we got up, we'd planned a shorter, lower walk from Grasmere in case it did start really raining on us. ... [More]

Lakes Holiday Day 2 - Mountain Biking in Grizedale

clock October 2, 2009 22:14 by author Admin
Day 2 of our holiday, we'd taken the mountain bikes with us, as usual and were heading off to Grizedale Forest, one of my favourite places for mountain biking. The other good thing was we could go straight from the cottage and didn't need to drive anywhere. The only thing about this ... [More]

Lakes Holiday Day 1 - Walk up Haystacks

clock October 2, 2009 21:12 by author Admin
Our first day in the Lakes for a long time and the weather was good !! We had a cottage at Field Head, just north of Hawkshead having driven up on a Friday for a change. It was good though as there was slightly less traffic, but more traffic news on the radio. We crossed Lake Windermere using the ... [More]

SE Mid Distance Champs - Blean Woods

clock September 21, 2009 22:47 by author Admin
After yesterday's success, I wasn't expecting anything today ! We had a nice breakfast in our hotel, then drove the short distance out of the city to Blean Woods. We were parked in a field a short walk away from the start. We had plenty of time to get organised. This was the first tim... [More]

SE Sprint Champs - Canterbury

clock September 21, 2009 22:19 by author Admin
We'd entered for the SE Sprint Champs, being run by SAX at the University of Kent in Canterbury and drove over on a lovely sunny Saturday morning. I'd not been to Canterbury before either (I don't think) so was also looking forward to seeing some of the city. We got there in plen... [More]
