Macclesfield Harriers

Its all very quiet about Jura! What happened folks? Can't see any results either!

Don't think the results are out yet! It was by a large margin the toughest race I have ever done, Wasdale/ Borrowdale/HPM doesn't compare IMHO. The heat was dreadful, water was scarce and with 2 hours of the race still to go I found that granite cuts you like a Stanley knife and needed 4 stitches in my left palm.
Despite all, Brian and I did finish and I think quite a few didn't. Don't care about the times, it's all about the t-shirt and I shall be wearing mine with pride on Wednesday night!

...and I shall be back, Jura is an amazing place and we should ALL be there next year!

Congratulations to both of you & I am so pleased that you find the island as inspiring as I do.
We REALLY SHOULD DO A CLUB TRIP next year
Looking forward to a new Barnes avatar with a better wound & bonus points for declining the ambulance at 3 mile bridge....that might be a Harriers first.

Quiet little place really...

at least it was until Phil met this bird on the beach..

Race day breakfast...

Fantastic!... looked more like kayaking weather than running around those heather clad hills!

Penine went mobhanded! Tough to be out in the sun that long. Well done guys.

For anybody that is interested, this is the route I took, until the gadget battery ran out 2 hours from the end that is..
