Fancy dress run 2012

Sunday, 08 January 2012 21:52 |

Thrilled to have been the recipient of my first ever medal for running since school, as a runner-up in this event I feel duty bound to report on the challenge of running in a floor-length coat, two-tone wig, full-length leather gloves and bling whilst carrying a spliff on a stick (it was a cigarette in a holder, daahling).

Trail running in Mallorca

Monday, 19 December 2011 18:41 |

If you are fed up with running in the cold of a British winter you might be interested in seeing what Anthony and Alexina Cassidy are doing these days. Anthony is offering a guided fell running service in Mallorca where the family is spending a couple of years. His website www.runmallorca.com tells you all about it. You could also chat to Andy Broadley who visited the area in the summer and recommends it as 'the perfect place for a short training break or just a couple of off-road runs during a family holiday'.

Return to Bowes Moor

Saturday, 17 December 2011 13:57 |

Thank you to the nine intrepid runners who drove to Bowes in the thick fog that Saturday morrning. I really did wonder how difficult it was going to prove navigating our way around the moor. Not to worry though, the patchy fog disappeared to reveal blue skies and warm sunshine greeted us. We were treated to wonderful clear views of the reservoirs in Baldersdale. The nine mile route was not quite as boggy as I had anticipated either. Not only a favourite run for me but for Claire Stewart and Oonagh Bathgate too. Hopefully the newcomers to Bowes will be back to explore this wonderful moorland.
