LAST OF THE SUMMER WHINE TRAIL 2009 RESULTS

2009-07-26T01:01:00.000-07:00

the B Team present, for the 4th consecutive year.

Thanks for all those who came along this afternoon. Whilst probably the coldest day since April, it didn't deter the hardy 65 participants who collectively raised over three hundred pounds (i haven't counted the coins yet!!!) for the Essex Air Ambulance who can now fuel to get as far as Writtle and back!!!

Well done to Allen and Shaun from Colchester who easily took the joint first place and well done to Pippa Crosby who took 1st lady running with the aid of speedy Andy from Baddow.

No one made an official complain about the twisty turny roundabouty route, so I take it as a compliment! It'll take some beating, but it will be even better next year!Until then, then, then, thanks

Yan

SAINTS AND SINNERS TRAIL, wednesday 3rd june '09

2009-05-20T02:11:00.000-07:00

‘’SAINTS AND SINNERS’’
…a DEVIL of a trail race…..

CLICK ON ROUTE IMAGES TO ENLARGE

Another excellent turnout proves Thaxted to be a popular venue for trail running with 88 keen and eager runners (and Walkers)turning up on what was the coolest evening for several days. (Three new runners didn't sign out so there's no result for them unfortunately, although naturally they loved it and will be back!).

The Church gates hadn't been this crowded since last year's race (except maybe for the Morris Dancers which B Team member Hammond will be able to tell you about if you buy him a pint or two).

Sean and Alan from Colchester Harriers did actually finish together, but the good looking timekeeper's fingers reacted slowly due to the below zero temperature. Nevertheless, 2nd trail only runer, Mark Eden, finished a credible 3rd less than a minute behind the Colchester pair. He commented at the gates after the race that he could easily have made up this difference as he'd gone wrong during the race. Obviously this is simply down to his inability to follow perfectly formed instructions and we say you need to run more trails Mark because there's no doubt that you have winning potential!

First lady home was Pru Heyhough from Grange Farm who ran an exceptional race.

Unfortunately all the winner's left before collecting their prizes so the organisers put the money back in the Church collection box.

The last B Team trail of the year will be The Last of the Summer Whine from Newarks Farm Good Easter on September 20th (a Sunday). It's a good race if you enjoy meeting people (a clue!). There will be an after race BBQ prepared by our own Michelin star chef. All proceeds and donations to the Essex Air Ambulance.

Thanks for coming. Those who know realise it's bundles of work! See you next time

2009-05-07T00:24:00.000-07:00

thanks to all those who attended tonight's race from the Black Bull in FYFIELD. Results are below in a format that I just can't get easier to read for some reason. Anyway, i'm sure that you'll all b able to get the gyst of who came where and when!!

The pub lanslords, Tony and Nicky, make us so welcome and this year's bbq was the best spread yet! We've asked them if we can use their facilities again next year. We aim to make it a bit later in the month of May '10 where hopefully it'll be a bit warmer and bring out more. Either way, 65 for the first Wednesday evening isn't that bad.

We intend NOT to go across the cattle field next year! It's just too much hard work!!!

We've added satelite and road images so you can see where you went, especially the quirky up down around and in and out bit. Double click on image to enlarge. PURELY IN ERROR, we routed over a private track (tl and continue on rhfe/ by the water stops). We will be saying sorry to the landowner today! We aim not to upset people. Sometimes we do.

NEXT RACE- SAINTS AND SINNERS, THAXTED CHURCH, 1ST WEDNESDAY IN JUNE. FLYER SOON!!!!

RESURRECTION SHUFFLE 09 RESULTS

2009-04-12T12:45:00.000-07:00

A great turnout today. All 106 runners returned without loss. With the aid of Nick Richard's (Ridge Runners) nifty computer program, live results were available. They all thought that the Titanic was a good ship as it sailed out the harbour, so we had our fingers crossed until the final man (Spingfield Strider's new men's captain Anthony Marsh) made his return.

For the Tilty Hilly 5 experts out there, you'll have noticed that this well known road run was crossed five times today. Please see the Google Earth and street maps here.

Sean held the number one spot for most of the morning only to be pipped at the post by the outgoing Springfield captain after his late, but faster run.

Well done to Tracy Woodyard, 1st lady.

Our next race is the 6th running of the Return of the Mgnificicent 7 from the black bull in Fyfield on Wednesday 6th May. more soon!!!!

LAST OF THE SUMMER WHINE RESULTS

2008-09-21T09:40:00.000-07:00

A lovely morning and afternoon today led to near perfect conditions over this testing 9.5 mile route taking in Roxwell village, Newlands Hall fishing lakes (the private way around!) and the lovely named Pooty Pools farm. Did anyone spot half of a mini?
All the cross field paths were unploughed which is a spot of luck for the time of year.
I'm sorry that a few of you went wrong here and there, but that's the way it goes!! You're all welcome to re run it at any time to get it right!
A first for Dan Augustin the day before he goes back to Notts uni with my lovely Holly for their last year!
Well done to everyone else, especially John and Sue who won the lawnmower!!
And a special thank you to Dave Game on teas and Stuart Tan on the BBQ.

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING is that we raised a couple of hundred quid for the Essex Air Ambulance which'll keep the tin box in the air all the way to Writtle. Many many thanks. Dave took the money so he'll post totals on MEC web site soon (well, after the Barbados holiday eh Dave!!!???)

Next year's route is in the bag!
cheers
Yan
PS sorry about the layout below. i've not got a full handle on it. Especially sorry to those lady runners below that are shown as gentlemen. If i can fix in the future, i will.

Thanks to all those who attended last nights trail. Thanks to Nick Richards whose software enabled accurate and speedy results publication!
We're sorry about the spelling of machinerary (!)and sorry that it was only uphill.
Conditions were firm and fast with some good times, especially from Mark and Alastair (Grange Farm) who were trail virgins. I think we'll see these guys competing for the podium soon.
Well done Gary, the undisputable winner and well done to 1st lady Tracey.
Next year. Same time, same place,new route........

WHERE WILL YOU BE ON JUDGEMENT DAY?

‘’SAINTS AND SINNERS’’

Wednesday June 25th, Starts from 7pm AT THE CHURCH GATES
Free car park in Weavenhead Lane, 2 minutes walk from start/finish
Entry only £2

Are you a Saint? Then it’s the parish church of St. John The Baptist for you- one of the grandest in the county of Essex, 183 feet long and 87 feet wide, and so beautiful that it may well claim to be the Cathedral of Essex. Console yourself in a post race prayer.

Or are you a sinner? Then right opposite the church is the Swan pub where you’ll get a pint to help you cool down!

RESURRECTION SHUFFLE SNOW DOESN'T STOP HARDENED RUNNERS!!!

2008-03-25T04:33:00.000-07:00

DAY 3 OF THE EGGSTRAVAGANZA WAS SNOW DAY and happenned to be the B Team's day!! I had to leave home to get to the styart in Little Easton at 7 in the morning because I thought i'd get snowed in! I didn't think any of you would even turn up. 71 did and you all had a great time. The other three days were of course great fun also. I had to go to bed after the Roller Coaster on day 4... Results somewhere soon I reckon! The picture is for Dawn and is from the back of the pub at 9.30am!!!

THE TOOT HOOT!

2008-02-14T11:45:00.000-08:00

It's going to be a hoot! The Toot Hill Hoot!!

Any of you that have run The Green Belt Relay or The Essex Way Relay will know Toot hill as a changeover point. If you're like us, you'll have seen the Green Man and thought it looked nice but never been in! Now's your chance!!

A Nine Mile Trail

A nine mile trail with a difference!! This time you'll get a weather proofed A4 easy to read and carry Ordnance Survey map with the whole route clearly marked. It clearly shows all the paths, tracks, woods, roads- the lot! The 9 mile course is overlaid so you won't (can't?) get lost.All you'll have to do is follow the map over 9 miles of varied, undulating(hilly), testing and scenic Essex countryside. There's very little road as well.

We consider this to be a bit more difficult than a normal route narrative trail, so it might be fun to go around in pairs to share the decision making... especially if you're new to O S map reading.

NIGHT TIME TRAIL RESULTS

2008-01-24T15:15:00.000-08:00

An intimate evening for all 16 runners who made it thru' the snow to get to the Stag last night for 6 miles of headtorch disciplinary action!!! Whilst the turnout was less than the organisers expected, the attendance was of the highest calibre. Every entrant stayed for a drink and a meal. The landlord was impressed! The spot prize (the Mercedes E320CDI, v low mileage ) went to entrant 17. As there were only 16 entrants, the prize went unclaimed!!!

THE HOBBLE '07

2007-11-11T09:35:00.000-08:00

Thanks for the route Kevin. It was very enjoyable.

SUMMER WHINE ON A SUNNY SUNDAY

2007-10-01T03:17:00.000-07:00

85 trail enthusiasts benefitted from perfect conditions (and instructions!) on the sunniest day of the week. 8.6 cross country miles in very pleasent conditions thru' some previously ''un trailed'' private tracks and paths that gave the competitors a nice day out. Many local clubs supported the event and stayed on for tea and a chat.

The Essex Air Ambulance will benefit from the proceeds of the event. We raised £320 pounds in all which should keep the tin box in the air between Broomfield and Ongar.....

Thanks to Howard Jardine (he ran the check ins and outs), Dave Game (he took the money) and Graham Baker (the infamous Batty burger with or without stockings!!) on the day for their help and Trevor for the sawdust and burgers (not from the same supplier).

Graham, Yan and Dave enjoy the sun

Yan and Howard fiddle the books..............................

And Len, for lobbying for the addition of Stana Stairlifts at all stiles!!!

Next years route is already planned and I look forward to seeing you all then.

Heres the results (but you'll get a better view from http://www.midessexcasuals.org.uk/ )-

Taylor's Trail

2007-08-27T06:37:00.000-07:00

Here's today's trail route from my Garmin. Unfortunately, due to old age, I forgot to turn the darned thing on at the start but you'll get the idea. The pedants amongst you will see that Clipper point one was was accurately taken!!!! I was a pleasure to venture in pastures new.

THE MAGNIFICENT 7, FYFIELD, FOOTPATH ACCESS ISSUES

2007-08-15T09:05:00.000-07:00

DO YOU REMEMBER THIS RACE? The one where the old lady insisted that you walked the footpath thru' her field to avoid disturbing her cattle? Well here's some information that i've received from the highways authority legal depatment regarding our rights-

“There is control in the Road Traffic Act 1988 over cycle racing on public ways (including bridleways) and on the use of footpaths and bridleways for motor cycle trials. However there is no restriction on the use of public highways for races on foot though of course there is a need to respect other traffic on such highways which might be met.

In using cross field paths there is the practical consideration of keeping to the path and not straying on to the landowner's property. Any path is likely to be narrow and to pass other ramblers or fellow racers may mean wandering off the path. That in itself might create tensions. Also if there are to be large numbers of people running across fields where livestock are kept there might be an unpredictable impact upon the disposition of the animals. In the case of an organised event it would therefore make sense and would be a matter of common courtesy to tell the farmers in advance so that they might make alternative arrangements should they wish.

Section 2 of the Animals Act 1971 makes the keeper of an animal liable for damages if it injures another person provided that the keeper was aware of the animal's tendency to cause injury. The liability does not arise if the injury is the fault of the injured party. Runners might of cause "spook" animals by their activity and that is good reason to warn the farmer of their intentions in advance to mitigate any risk.

Consideration should be given by event organisers whether they should seek an order under section 16A of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to restrict traffic including pedestrians to enable the event to take place.”

The Council have been very helpful and I hope that this helps you understand your rights and responsibilities when using footpaths. At the end of the day, we're just enjoying the countryside in the most harmless of ways. Whilst animal issues can be very real, I feel that we are all responsible people and will do all that we can to avoid upsetting livestock. I'll ask the landowner to keep the animals in if we use this particular path next year.

DEDHAM TRAIL 6.8.07

2007-08-07T12:30:00.001-07:00

5 B Team members travelled 8,000 miles to the very edge of Northen Essex last night to partake in a search for a policeman. Despite a 6.2 mile beautifully undulating cross country course centred in and around the historic small town of Dedham, we didn't even get to run past the home of the most famous Constable of all! So here he is -

The Haywain by John Constable, is probably one of the most famous of all English paintings. Many a home has a print, but relatively few people know the story behind it.
John Constable was born in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England on 11th June 1776. Initially his father, Golding Constable wanted young John to join him is his prosperous corn business. By 1799 however it was obvious that John loved nothing more than drawing, so he was given an allowance to study at the Royal Academy in London. The art world was slow to recognize his talents. Landscapes were not considered very important in his day, so he had to produce a few portraits for his income. He would often spend his Summers in East Anglia, making sketches ready for them to be transformed into his beautiful works when he returned to his home in London. During these early years he created such works as Boatbuilding near Flatford Mill (1814-15) which can be seen in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
In 1819 he moved to Hampstead Heath on the outskirts of London. By this time his father had died, so he was more financially secure. He was now producing his best work, including The Haywain in 1821. The work was based on many sketches he had produced, many of which still survive. In 1824 The Haywain was exhibited in Paris, where it won a gold medal. The painting caused a stir amongst the French art critics, who were astonished by its freshness. In his later years he lectured, still trying to popularize landscape painting, but he died in 1837 with none of the fame he now has.

So there you have it- run and learn!!!!!!!

the Dave Game history trail......

2007-08-02T10:37:00.000-07:00

Today's (2.8.08) old boy's 10 miler was organised by our very own Dave Game who recently gave up full time employment so that he can dedicate the rest of his life to his main passion of trail running. Today's run was a little special, starting and finishing in the smoke free (yes!) Jack and Jenny in Witham, Dave took us around local villages giving various researched talks en route. The picture on the left is of some old wooden bridge over a dirty old river. Apparently it's the last wooden ailway bridge in existence!! Fortunately Howard had a phone with a camera and instantly mastered the new to him art of e mailing the picture. I rec'd it over a pint in the pub and we all thought that it would liven up the blog by having something other than Google Earth maps!

The shadow on the right of the shot is Springfields very own Richard Taylor who, by the way, is organising the Thursday 16.8 trail from South Woodam Ferrers. Richard has guaranteed to base his route on the local topography ( being a fine geography tutor). The team can't wait for Sue and John Clarke's math based Thursday bash. It will be a fine ''addition'' to our ''division'' (doh!)

SAINTS AND SINNERS TRAIL 18.7.07

2007-07-19T02:19:00.000-07:00

85 runners representing a wide variety of clubs from all over Essex took part in last night's trail from the church gates at Thaxted. The 6.5 mile fast course was mostly fast and easily navigatable. The instruction were, of course, perfect with no complaints (almost!!!). Post race refreshments were provided in the Swan pub opposite. They weren't quite prepared for the enthusiastic beveraging that follows such an event..... Let's hope that they will be next year!

For those of you interested in such things, here is a google earth image of the route. Please note the time taken here included writing the route description and is not truly representative of the abilities of the organisers!!!!

Thank you Howard of Grange Farm and Dunmow Runners who very kindly went away with the results sheets and stayed up all night preparing the official results that follow.

Well done to the 2 Colchester speed men for winning and thanks for coming so far. Hard luck Gary for missing out by 2 seconds!!! A special well done to Tracey, the ffirst lady, coming back to form after the recent birth of her daughter.

HOWARD JARDINE CREATES A PERFECT THURSDAY LUNCHTIME RUN!

2007-07-05T10:45:00.000-07:00

Starting and finishing from Howard's house in a sleepy leafy lane in the back end of Felsted, we ran this pleasant route today with the aid of maps provided by Howard. We don't usually use maps, but it was decided that we might want to break into faster and slower groups. We stayed together as intended. This was good news for our senior memer and mascot, Graham Baker, who seemed to be totally unable to read his map and seemed to be happy to read it in reverse!

Next one for all on 19th being arranged by Sarah. Watch out for more info. ALL WELCOME

Are you a Saint? Then it’s the parish church of St. John The Baptist for you- one of the grandest in the county of Essex, 183 feet long and 87 feet wide, and so beautiful that it may well claim to be the Cathedral of Essex.

Or are you a sinner? Then right opposite the church is the Swan pub where you’ll get a pint to help you cool down!

The Return of The Magnificent 7

2007-05-27T04:06:00.000-07:00

75 runners took part in our Wednesday evening trail this week from the Black Bull in Fyfield. We were lucky with the weather and had a glorious sunny event. Gary Chandler was first man home with Sarah Colbert coming in as first lady. Resultts can be found at www.trailfreaks.co.uk. As we get more familiar with the running of this forum, we'll add the info ourselves. At the moment i'm fumbling thru it's creating whilst watching the Monaco Grand Prix!!!

Please add your views

cheers

ps by the way, i've written to the local footpath man about the lady at the end in the last field who insisted on making so many of you walk so that her cows didn't get upset. I'm not sure what the law says about running on footpaths and will let you know when I do.
