Rosie's on the Road Again
Sep. 1st, 2008 12:14 pmThe sun's shining at last, and sunshine on the fells means that this morning's run has to be up the channel to North Scale and back for the stunning view of Scafell and friends. Thirty minutes, and by judiciously doing a circuit of the Crown car park I can arrange things so that the finish ends before the slope up to the bridge, even going up a couple of gears for a fast finish in front of the Ferry.

Speaking of views, I'm investigation the possibility of a beach 'n' trail run from Askam to Foxfield (great pub at Foxfield, while waiting for the train back to Barrow), which is the sort of spectacular setting that gets you a full-page picture in Runners World.

Sep. 1st, 2008 08:46 pmLost my game against Furness Abbey tonight, 21-15. For the first time I didn't go in at the bottom. If I had, an easy win awaited but there you go. One of the few from West Mount to lose against the bottom team in the league, alas, so I lose my place again for tomorrow night's match, unless somebody drops out.
It was a lovely evening to start with, as it had been a lovely day for once. Towards the end, as my game was coming to a close, a great big black raincloud came over. It didn't drop much on us, but as I came off the green at about 7.40 the sky to the north was spectacular; the setting sun reflecting off the bottom of the cloud. And something else, that I've never seen before. A tornado funneling down from the cloud, followed by a second even bigger one. The didn't pass over us, rather over Askam to the north - something to be thankful for. From a safe distance they were amazing!
