Likely structure

Plenty of time to build up a bit of fitness (if required) but book yourself in now as it will motivate you to get fit enough (if needed) and there are already 5 places booked with 2 left to fill!

MARCH TRAIL RUNNING EXTRAVAGANZA LONG WEEKEND 3rd March to 6th March

Hi running Facebook friends. I’ve put together a short group trip to a cottage near Clitheroe in the Ribble Valley, Lancashire. (4 hour drive from Essex).

It’s a 5 bedroom property that sleeps 8 and has a games room with pool table, table tennis and darts.

The itinerary is loosely…..

Arrive Friday - short trail run around local area - Dinner
Saturday - local 15km fell race (entry £7 a person). It’s not compulsory to enter the race but that will be the main activity on the day and with no cut off time it’s a great opportunity to take part in a marked out fell run. - light running related activities in afternoon - Dinner and games
Sunday - Trail run experience in Bowland AONB - figure of 8 loop allowing partial 13-15 miles or so or full 20 mile experience - Dinner and games
Monday - check out 10am and head home.

The price includes accommodation on a shared basis and breakfast and evening meals provided.

I still have a few places left to fill so if any of my running friends are interested please message me and I’ll provide full details.

All of the Normandy 2019/2018/2017 tour runners are committed to this Advent Challenge - what about Normandy 2015? - you know who you are!

Seriously - anyone following this page can join in - starts Sunday and has got to be one of the best ways to count down the days to Christmas.

Full details on the link 😊💪

3 mins, steadily increasing to 8 mins a day = 2 hours of extra body conditioning exercises before Christmas even starts. 😊

I plan to inspire people to keep fit over build up to Christmas and consider others by supporting Mind – the event is a small physical challenge a day over the 25 Advent days leading up to Christmas with a suggested £5 donation for taking part. Please join us and give generously if you can. …

Next trip is looking like a 6 night Autumn Normandy Trail extravaganza.......Sunday 4th to Saturday 10th November.

Looks like we may have 2 making their own way which leaves room for 3 “get me there” spaces at £325 and 1 more “I’ll make my own way” at £225.

Less than a week to go until the November trail running week. I was out there last week and the trails look perfect and the weather is looking pretty good for next week too.

Putting feelers out at this stage to see if there is any likely interest in a February trip - first or 2nd week of Feb? It'll be Sunday to Saturday and circa £325 per person , get me there and £225 , I'll make my own way. As usual, all accommodation and breakfast and dinner included plus travel for the get me there.

The November trip is now good to go with 3 "get me there" spaces confirmed - welcome on board Mona, Lee and Andrea. 5 "I'll make my own way" spaces left - I can help with travel arrangements and it would be great if we travelled together and arrived at the same time. Equally, if you do make your own way and have space in your vehicle, get in touch and I may be able to put you in touch with other runners to share the travel costs. 😊🏃🏼🏃‍♀️
