Saturday 14th February - Valentine's Run

The Start

18 runners appeared from the mist on a damp Saturday morning to enjoy Dawn and Wendy's 'Valentines Surprise' run.

After a thorough warm up session led by Louise,a future leader, we set off towards Kerridge via Tinkers Clough, Jenny's gate and Neil's Hill. At the top of Neil's hill we unveiled our first surprise, which was a right hand turn up yet another even tougher hill ( yet to be named, suggestions welcomed). We then ran down Lidgetts Lane towards the base of White Nancy and across the path towards the waterfall where we bumped into D group and wished them luck before their climb to Trig no 2.

Before returning to the Skate park, we ran around the football pitch in a crocodile formation for Dawn's surprise which was later unveiled as a very pretty heart shape on our Garmin workout maps.

A tough hilly run today but everyone put maximum effort in and a few of us surprised ourselves when we conquered some of those hills !

The end ... time for coffee and cake!
