My pleasure, Mr sj - I tend not to race Blaydon really, as it's such a silly distance. I just love it for the history and the atmosphere. I forgot that they had moved the date of Matfen this year, from the end of October to the beginning of September. I believe there are going to be two Kirkley Hall 10ks , one in June that was postponed from April, and one in October, that was originally billed as a Ponteland 10k

Thank you folks.

I did all of the Run Northumberland last year, Mr sj

Of those that are left this year, Kirkley Hall is new, Bamburgh is quite flat ( I went sub-45 there on a fairly blustery day) and Matfen has a climb, but also a terrific downhill finish. I got my second best time (now 3rd) there last October, and really enjoyed the route.

Cheers, lfc - take it easy on your return.

Must have been a night for it, Mr sj

Huge congratulations to you.

My PB from last year's CC10k, not as quick as yours, and not as old - 44:24

After my injury hit winter I had no expectation of beating that tonight, and really was thinking I would be thrilled just to break 45 minutes

Crossed the line in 43:27 !!!

I am quite happy.
