Why did I enter Richard and I for the A course at the OMM? It was a really long way and almost resulted in a failure of our sense of humour on numerous occasions! The weekend started well. I took Friday off work, so we had a leisurely day and managed to arrive in Sedbergh [...]

After exploring the National Forest, or at least a few fields of shrubs, in the Midlands on Saturday, we headed up to Calver in Derbyshire for the Dark and White Mini Mountain Marathon 3 hour score event on Sunday. The weather was glorious and we both had a really enjoyable time. We independently choose the [...]
