Not me, short on time and fitness at the mo. Will be trotting up Eccles Pike tomorrow night though.
We had plenty of banter from the marshals as I run for Chorlton runners (SW Manchester Suburb) so we got lots of, "This is a site, do I need to explain how to use it?", "Shouldn't you be at a Parkrun" etc......
Do you know Andy Ford?

The club had a good turn out and managed a Ladies 2nd, the weather was lovely and the food in the pub was good so a fun night all round. Charging down a steep tussocky slope on the edge of control (the only way for me to gain places, it certainly wasn't on the up) is good for the soul.We had plenty of banter from the marshals as I run for Chorlton runners (SW Manchester Suburb) so we got lots of, "This is a site, do I need to explain how to use it?", "Shouldn't you be at a Parkrun" etc......
If anyone is at the Viking Chase in the North Yorks Moors this weekend (Stabbsy? I think you've done it a couple of times) I'm be the only Chorlton Runner there (black and gold vest), say hi!
Saving myself for Rivington Trail Half in 10 days, then maybe the Windgather race from Buxton the following weekend (depending on how I recover!). Then it's my last big race of the year - Leg 4 of the fell relays at Pendle.
A certain dashing young gent on the forum is offering me a Garmin Forerunner 110 for sale. I now understand a little bit more about barometric altimeters and I just wondered by what margin people have found non-barometric versions to be out by when you've accurately known a given elevation (as in the watch above).I'm not looking to rely on this information in the mountains with said watch but it would be good to understand this issue in a bit more detail. I've also read up on elevation smoothing and how it occurs post run.
