Thank You Dave Dave Swan has stepped down as Chairman after over 20 years at the helm. He, more than anyone else is responsible for the values and ethos that make Roadhoggs more than just another running club. In recognition of his outstanding service to the club, members voted at the AGM to award him the title of Honorary Life President. Dave, a sub-3 hour Marathon runner in his prime, also found the time to serve a term as LRRL Chair and has been one of our League delegates for many years. LRRL 2015 End of Term Reports Winter League Whilst for the most part we’ve had excellent Sunday 29th March: Desford 6 turnouts for the Derby Runner XC races, we Sunday 17th May: West End 8 haven’t made a big impact on the individual Summer League rankings.

Getting’ Muddy with Kim For the girls, Becca, Victoria and Jackie all Derby Runner League Race 5 - finished close to each other, with Ruth making Bosworth 15/2/15 the last team place. Because this was a smaller field than last time at Bradgate, everyone finished higher up the order, with Dale, Sam and It was grey and cold as people started to arrive Ben much higher so must have had better runs at Bosworth Park for the penultimate race of this anyway. Mark Coulson and Mark Jowsey made season’s cross-country league. The car park their cross-country debuts for us … you wait ages entrance bollard rising and falling between every for a Mark to turn up and then 2 come along at car caused a lot of early queues until Hinckley, once. the host club, found a way to keep the damn thing down. As this was Valentines weekend I expected a few Roadhoggs couples to celebrate by coming to the race together, and I’m sure that the Pearce-Browns, Robinson-Hermanns and Bostock-Bostocks found the romantic side of running through mud and water. John and Trudy were there as well but John didn’t run and spectated with me instead. Before the race, I watched some of our runners going through their pre-race rituals: Dale got his foot and shoe-horn stuck in his running shoe, Ruth and Clare did some strange squatting, and Jerry picked up an orange and announced he was going for a pee somewhere … leaving us wondering why he took fruit with him. Mark making his XC debut The men maintained their team position in division 2 whilst the girls improved theirs. The combined team are still stuck at the bottom of division 1, but with one more race to go there is still a chance we can avoid relegation if we score really well at Holly Hayes in a fortnight and Wreake or Ivanhoe do not. Trudy’s home baking and coffee after the race went down very well as always. There is talk of skipping the racing altogether and just becoming a cake eating club. RESULTS (6.2m): MEN: 7th James Bostock 36.15, 16th Dave Pearce (V40) 37.18, 59th James Dunham 41.21, 90th Dale Jenkins (V50) 43.51, 102nd Jerry Wilkes (V50) James: Second counter at Bosworth 44.39, 107th Steve Wheeler (V40) 45.06, 120th The Bosworth course is a mixed bag of parkland, Dave Lodwick (V50) 45.57, 129th Sam Jolly 46.32, woodland, tracks and fields, not particularly 135th Steve Robinson (V40) 46.54, 136th Terry hilly but quite long at 10k.

Derby Runner League Race 6 – Holly Hayes Wood 1/3/15 Coming into the last race of this season’s league, the Roadhoggs combined team were in last place in the top division and facing relegation. But our runners came along and gave it one last shot, and we very nearly saved our place for another season. In the end, we finished on equal points with Wreake and only lost out on a count of all the individual runners’ finishing positions – a bit like goal difference. Becca: a season-long battle with Vicky One or two Roadhoggs were suffering from sickness or injury, and one or two more had run the 16 miles Belvoir Challenge or a Reaper challenge the day before, but still they came and ran at Holly Hayes. James B set off in 5th and held on to that place for the whole race, his best ever position. Dave Pearce also bagged a fine 11th place but sadly he doesn’t count towards our team score as he is second claim. Further down we packed quite well to finish the team with Robin, Dale, Jerry, Steve W, Tim, Steve Rob and Fabio getting the points. Tim scored team points for the first time. Fabio did too, and beat many other runners for the first time with his best ever run for us. The girls had a real race with our top 3 pushing each other all of the way round. Vicky kept ahead of Becca and James has had a really strong season Captain Jackie.

  • Places to See and Visit
    Places to See and Visit When first prepared in 1995 I had prepared these notes for our cottages one mile down the road near Biggin Dale with the intention of providing information regarding local walks and cycle rides but has now expanded into advising as to my personal view of places to observe or visit, most of the places mentioned being within a 25 minutes drive. Just up the road is Heathcote Mere, at which it is well worth stopping briefly as you drive past. Turn right as you come out of the cottage, right up the steep hill, go past the Youth Hostel and it is at the cross-road. In summer people often stop to have picnics here and it is quite colourful in the months of June and July This Mere has existed since at least 1462. For many of the years since 1995, there have been pairs of coots living in the mere's vicinity. If you turn right at the cross roads and Mere, you are heading to Biggin, but after only a few hundred yards where the roads is at its lowest point you pass the entrance gate to the NT nature reserve known as Biggin Dale. On the picture of this dale you will see Cotterill Farm where we lived for 22 years until 2016. The walk through this dale, which is a nature reserve, heads after a 25/30 minute walk to the River Dove (There is also a right turn after 10 minutes to proceed along a bridleway initially – past a wonderful hipped roofed barn, i.e with a roof vaguely pyramid shaped - and then the quietest possible county lane back to Hartington).

  • The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List
    The Ultimate Peak District & Derbyshire Bucket List: 101 Great Things To Do 1. Embrace the great outdoors in the UK’s first National Park Established in 1951, the Peak District is the country’s oldest National Park. If you love the outdoors, this protected area of natural beauty - which covers 555 square miles in total - offers over 200 square miles of stunning open access land to explore. 2. Visit the ‘jewel in the Peak District’s crown’ at Chatsworth House Home to the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, Chatsworth is one of the UK’s favourite stately homes. Discover over 30 magnificent rooms, a 105-acre garden, parkland, a farmyard and playground, and one of Britain’s best farm shops. 3. Conquer the tallest ‘Peak’ in the Peak District At 636 metres above sea level, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world when you conquer the Kinder Scout plateau. It’s the highest point in the National Park and was also the site of the 1932 Mass Trespass, a landmark event which sparked a debate about the right to roam in the countryside, leading to the establishment of the Peak District as the first National Park two decades later. 4. Discover the UK’s oldest Ice Age cave art at Creswell Crags Walk in the footsteps of Ice Age hunters, uncover the secrets of early man, discover incredible Ice Age cave art and marvel at the UK’s largest discovery of ritual protection marks at this picturesque limestone gorge on the Derbyshire/Nottinghamshire border. 5.
