9.00 Standing Stone Car park, Macclesfield Forest. GR 978 714

The Harwood 7 Memorial Run in memory of Craig Harwood. Organised and led by Jon T. details below:-

NB - Note earlier start time of 9.00am.

Some of you may remember running the 7 Cheshire Tops route with Craig a few years back. If I'm right, I think it may have been a route first devised by Alan Ireland but it was Craig who instigated it. (Forgive me Alan if my facts are not 100% correct!) I've run the route quite a few times since, once with just Craig and myself. I thought it might be a nice idea if a few of us could gather and have a run around it again in his memory. The full route is about 21 miles visiting Shutlingsloe, Tegg’s Nose, Kerridge Hill, White Nancy, Nab Head, Sponds Hill and Shining Tor. Folks are welcome to run, jog, walk or cycle all or part of the route. Everyone welcome. If you could let me know if you're interested, just so I can estimate possible numbers. A few have already confirmed they'll be there.

Sorry I missed your call Dave. A few of us had already thought about popping down to the Nice Nosh (what a name!) van down by Macc Forest Visitors Centre after the run but people are welcome to gather where they like. http://www.nice-nosh.co.uk

Great day out today, good to see so many there in memory of Craig. Thanks to Jon for organising and special thanks to Janet for waving us off. Sorry I was too much of a wimp to manage the full 7 trigs, only making it to 2 of them in the end, but there were a lot of miles between them. The route the not-so-magnificent-7 took is here, but at least we managed to get in the photos, well some of them. I hope the rest of you made it all the way round, no doubt somebody will post a commentary of sorts.
