After considering all your comments on whether to hold a club relay or week of athletics in 2008, the committee have decided to hold a club relay. It will now be held on Saturday July 12th and based from Barley.
For those not wanting to do the relay there is the usual Wasdale weekend. Run the race or run part of it (get the feel of what a real fell race is like) then have the usual social/barbeque/pub afterwards. This weekend social/race has been going for at least 25 years. There are usually a lot more spectators than runners. If you do not want to race this year it is a good way to find out what long races in the Lakes are all about. Clayton needs to get more younger runners interested in the Long Lakeland A's. It is possible to do a lot of the route without being too far away from the start.
Most camp at Nether Wasdale and it is worth booking now for it.
The Committee has recently discussed the problem of erosion on Pendle Hill.
A particular area of concern is the path that has appeared on the Full Tour route. The erosion is particularly bad on the ‘Geronimo’ descent into Ogden and the descent to checkpoint 9, above the Downham Road Bridge (before the final ascent up the Big End).
But there are other scars: Spence Moor (above Churn Clough Reservoir), the ‘Bunny Run’ off Deerstones, Buttock Fell.
We appreciate that it is not just CleM members who use these routes or, for that matter, just runners. However, we feel that when we are out on Pendle, especially in large groups, we should try to avoid causing erosion, or making it worse. Please consider your routes and the possible impact on the landscape when you are planning routes on Pendle.
NEW SUMMER TRAINING IN GREAT HARWOOD
Every Thursday 6:30pm from Memorial Park Great Harwood
Take the opportunity to enjoy the stunning scenery and run the tracks trails and pathways over and around Whalley Nab, Billington Moor, Dean Clough and Read Hall.
A choice from at least six routes. Plenty of shorter options. Good runnable climbs and fast sharp descents.
If anyone took any pictures of the race could they forward them onto Paul Healey as he needs some to pass onto the various local newspapers.
