Just a quick post between nose blows to wish everyone good luck at the Calderdale Hike on Saturday. You’ll be able to spot me by the coughing – I’m planning to go round slowly in the hope I won’t turn my cold into something worse in time for the Fellsman!

All the 2016 Runfurther races are now open for entries – the Warrington Way Ultra is half full already, and the Round Rotherham 50 opened for entries on Tuesday.

Apologies to anyone who’s emailed me this week & not had a reply – I’ll get round to it once I’m feeling a bit better.

I won’t be able to process the Calderdale Hike results or get race reports up here until Wednesday at the earliest – apologies for that.  I won’t be home until Monday lunchtime, probably hungover after my brother’s 60th birthday bash in Scarborough.  Then I’ve got to go for urgent dental work in the afternoon, & go to Manchester on Tuesday to get fitted for a suit (!)
