Derby Tup Nov 2019 11:57am, 13 Nov 2019 35,685 posts	0 Derby Tup One of the ‘Keighley old boys’ once told me about the early days of the (full) YORM when no-one had GPS etc, or apparently ‘knew what a mile was’. They said the original course was 30 miles
Northern Exile Nov 2019 12:03pm, 13 Nov 2019 5,603 posts	0 Northern Exile I think the YORM half is a decent little race with a killer start That long road stretch doesn't do it any favours, but there's some properly rough ground to cover, I like it a lot. I've just checked GC and my three outings there measured in at 14.7, 14.84 and 14.73 with about 1,750ft of climb

Rosehip Nov 2019 6:01pm, 13 Nov 2019 14,188 posts	0 Rosehip There are a lot on the wannado list, but all depend on getting a weekend away either without dog or with someone who will mind the dog for me, even bigger hurdles than actually being fit enough to do said lumpy up north runs!
Northern Exile Nov 2019 12:11pm, 14 Nov 2019 5,605 posts	0 Northern Exile Quite a few races on this weekend, anyone partaking? Off the top of my head: - Tour of Pendle - Wadsworth Half-Trog - Harriers v Cyclists - Littondale Birks It's the half-trog for me. Last did this in 2016, having done Harriers v Cyclists the day before, had a crap race. Hope to improve.

If it's the usual low turnout I might even end up counting for the club * if I get through a couple of test jogs first.
