Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team have had one of their vehicles condemned at this critical time (mid-winter & pandemic).

Please consider supporting this appeal if you are able. https://woodheadmrt.org/

There are still places available on the youth running meet at High Moss on 11th & 12 May. So far the mix is 50:50 under and over 30. It is my hope to have the majority under 30 – which does not seem impossible at this stage. The meet is aimed at runners under the age 30, with off road running experience. The grand objective is to provide an opportunity to build on that experience, or just do more of what you’ve done before. There will be runs both days, with a range of options for route choice, terrain and duration in the wonderful (and hopefully spectacular) mountain setting of the western lake district. A communal meal will be provided Saturday evening. Anyone over 30 might well expect buy the beer.

Not least the truly ancient meet organiser. Lewis
