A day of lightweight DIY down in Lancashire re-sticking Anaglypta wallpaper to a ceiling at my mum’s set me up for the short drive over Sharneyford to a cracking little race in Todmorden. Sticking with the 1980’s vibe, there was “No Jacket Required”.
Beautiful evening, up out of the valley, round a prominent rock outcrop taking in a short but steep second climb then brakes off to try to bag a few scalps on the descent. I gave it all I had, fancying my chances of a category win although the field was bigger than in previous years. In the Staff of Life after the event I didn’t pick up the prize but was happy enough with my run and I enjoyed a great post-race pint and chip butty. Proper Fell Running!
