Thanks Julian, please put me down for Langley 7 marshalling.

Julian, would love to marshall Goyt Valley Challenge 8 October then jog/run the route
Gillian

Thanks everyone for your offers: much appreciated !

- and might see one or two at Bollington on Sunday ? I'm told there are about a dozen or so from the club down to run.

Julian, I'm going to mum's Saturday and probably won't be home until after 8.30 pm, but I could bypass Buxton and go up to the checkpoint above Chelmorton. Hopefully it will be dry and not too windy up there!!!!

Hi Hazel, many thanks for the offer! If you're free and fancy trotting up to Chelmorton then Jo and Alison woild be pleased to see you, but don't feel obliged to, entirely up to you. Could be chilly !

Say hello to your mum for us, I bet her garden looks brilliant !

Hi Hazel, an update from the organisers, jo and alison are now back on the hot dogs at brand top checkpoint, at least it's indoors I suppose ! Open 7pm to 4am.

I should be OK for Oct 8th Julian. Your very busy!

Cheers Barry

Lightweights Never mind I'll be a hero in the cold, and wind, possibly rain, maybe even snow given its closeness to Buxton

Julian, I'm happy to marshall at Langley.

i would'nt mind doing the windgather fell race sweeper session if you need me.

Thanks once again for the offers, much appreciated, we will fit you in !

Thanks also from the Bullock Smithy organisers to all who helped Sat, and from Richard on the Gritstone Grind to all at CP3 on Sunday. Double thanks to anyone who helped on both days .......

Gritstone and Bullock Smithy results on the links above, many harriers out on the Gritstone event (with many more running bits of it) well done all !

Hi Julian,
can see quite a few Harriers did this but no "club" column as reported so can't extract results to update the club champs!

Barry

13 folk I reckon Barry.... apologies if I've missed anyone !
