Not a Winter Hill Recce

A good turnout yesterday, with TF, YJ, Matt, KLM, Colin W, new lady Ritzy, her colleague Neil (in shorts!) and yours truly. Unfortunately YJ was still suffering with his knee and had to opt for a walk instead of the run.

Respecting the RO's instruction not to recce the course, we viewed as much of it as possible from various vantage points, picking up t'Yorkshireman and EYJ on Two Lads and losing TF and Colin at the same time. It was a bitterly cold day and the ground was hard, but we made a wide circuit of the hill, visiting Belmont and then climbing back up to Hordern Stoops and thence back to the Barn via Georges Lane and Ammunition corner.

Covered about 10 miles and got back to the car park after 3hours, just a few minutes after the start of the predicted snowfall.

It will be interesting to see how many of this band of ten will actually toe the line on the 12th.
