Re: Today's Run

Big week culminating with a weekend in the Dales teaching navigation and gettin battered by the weather on Saturday. Unsurprisingly, now sick. Either way, another 70km and 2,400m vert in the bag for the week, which was nice.

You'll have been a vet since aged 40, sadly...M40 - 50 is one of the fastest age brackets in fell racing :)

Re: OT: Cheapest way to (entering) a trail half marathon!?

Don't think I've read anywhere that we can't use gps, so hoping to record/navigate with the watch too (but will recheck this). Any excuse to buy a new shiny OS map (if I've not already got them squares in the ones I already own). It's an FRA race - you CAN'T use GPS to navigate. You CAN track the r...

Re: Today's Run

Dropped off on this thread...

Usual few weeks of intermittent orienteering races and training. But still in recovery mode after my ankle injury. Managing to get back up to 50km weeks now, which is nice as the weather is finally perking up!

Re: OT: Cheapest way to (entering) a trail half marathon!?

Found myself a marathon. Trail focused but not (as hard as a standard) 'fell race' as such. Best part, it's £22 so proper Yorkshire pricing. Plenty far away to train for it and then hopefully recover in time for bb200. https://www.kcac.co.uk/club-races/yorkshireman/ :grin: Few friends have done thi...

Re: Recommend me a decent stills camera

My opinions... £500 second hand may limit you to a reasonable body (albiet a few years old) and you'll need to look at the possibility of spending a bit on glass unless you have some old manual primes lying around.... and you can use an adapter on a mirrorless setup. FWIW, most of my images are on a...

Re: OT: Cheapest way to (entering) a trail half marathon!?

Go look at the LDWA events (Long Distance Walkers Association) - lots of cheap ones to enter.

And or, just get a train to Hebden and walk/run home on the Pennine Way :)

Re: Anyine ride exclusively singlespeed?

Not any more, I don't ride enough to stay strong enough for SS in Calder Valley. But when I did, similar reasons to James. Got bored of constant kit faff - though I did stick with front suspension.

Re: Photos you have taken in the last month of which you like.

Aye, it's the reason I walked up the sodding hill in the first place ;)

Thank though! I've been trying to get that shot for a few years now, but it's always been clagged out. That's the eventual winner. He had about a minute lead on a 28min course!

Re: Today's Run

Currently on day 17 of my December run tradition, going well, but starting with a very competitive race may not have been the best of choices :)

Going well, and really, enjoying my running!

A rare sojourn into colour film for me. Kodak ProImage 100 - not bad for a cheap colour film. I can't justify the cost of Ektar any more.
