The Stoop, Sun 21 Dec

From Paul Stephens ... A great race and some excellent company. Thanks for driving Sally. I didn't win any prizes, but it was good to be out on the fells. The rain held off, the wind was a killer and I blame that and the mud on my time, which if my watch was correct was some 8 minutes slower than my last outing in 2011. This was my tenth Stoop, the first being way back in 1994 when the results were handwritten and posted out. For 5 years I finished consistently in 36 or 37 minutes, and in about the same position with about 200 runners overall. And today, not so good. I'm glad it was a classy field. Looking at the results I would have liked to be about 3 minutes faster, but hey, I enjoyed it. Thanks once again Dave and Eileen.

Frostbite 30, Sat 6 Dec

From Ben Sheppard ... the approximately accurately named Frostbite 30 started off frosty (with blue skies in nidderdale) and ended up 34 miles and 4,500ft climb, its new route adding four miles and 1,100ft to last year's. The winning time was about 45 mins slower too. Duncan Cooper, Caz Farrow and I enjoyed trails around Pateley Bridge in woodlands, along the river up the valley, by the reservoirs and on the double track of the Nidderdale Way, with fantastic views. A brilliant local ultra. Give it a go. www.never-rest.com
