Derby Tup May 2021 6:32am, 29 May 2021 50,308 posts	0 Derby Tup Stef, my wife, is doing a hundred miles this weekend. She’ll have company for the full distance and I’m doing road support / refreshments. It is five ‘legs’ starting and finishing from Haworth. First leg is the Yorkshireman marathon route kicking off at 8am. The kettle is on and porridge about to be made. I’ll post a few updates on this thread as things progress

Derby Tup May 2021 8:11am, 29 May 2021 50,310 posts	0 Derby Tup It’s Stef’s take on the virtual LDWA 100. The real event should have been in Wales this weekend Stu, but runners and walkers can do their own ‘virtual’ version Stef’s route is 2 x Yorkshireman marathons, a 15 mile loop over towards Hebden Bridge and back past Top Withins, 20 miles out and back into Lancashire on the Brontë and Pendle Ways, and another lap of the 15 mile Hebden Bridge loop to finish We were sitting in the sun in t-shirts and shorts waiting for 8am to come round when in a matter of a minute or two the mist rolled in and it suddenly felt 5 degrees cooler. A great example of how conditions change quickly
