Dave Wood and Debbie are taking some Hill/Fell sessions at Lyme Park in August. The sessions are to help you with hills – how to run up and down a hill well, plus how to get used to trails and off road running:
ALL WELCOME – ALL ABILITIES
Next sessions – 20th & 27th August – 6.30pm until about 7.30/8pm.
You can run in trainers, trail shoes, walshes, fell shoes or similar, please bring a drink & waterproof with you, plus if you need a lift let me know and i will either give you a lift or find you one where I can.
Meet near to the Boars head Pub in Poynton. There is free parking diagonally opposite or parking in a lay by next to it.This allows a one mile jog to the main car park at Lyme park.I thought we could then run the route of the 5km park run.This involves a climb up to the cage,a good runnable descent and a slow climb back to the start.with the jog back to parking spot this should give us about six miles of running with time to admire the views.

Remember if you need a lift let me know!!!
