Howth Cliff Run for the Irish Runner - Howth DART Stn Sat @ 3pm

christeb

Further to a chat with climbhigh - we've agreed to do the run on Sat @ 3pm, meet at Howth DART station. The route is here (7.8m but you can stop at 6.5 or 7 and walk the rest), we'll be going at a very easy pace (8.30++). We'll start in Howth and go to Balscadden first, taking in the cliffs and then finally into Sutton.

As it's the Irish runner magazine - you'll be in the mag! The honourable figs has agreed to do pictures, who else is interested??

Note: it's subject to the weather being decent - we'll make a call on this Saturday by noon.

I'd like to try this, defo won't be able to do the full thing. Longest I've run for is 5k so I'd prob do around that and walk the rest.

Ill give this a blast if nobody minds? Usually do the Howth / Sutton roads for LSR on a sunday, but a change is as good as a rest.

Meeting at the bloodystream car park i guess?

Havent done much off road ruinning, there is no change of a twisted ankle is there???

Outside Howth DART station, just on the left when you come into the village. See you then

Giving this a bump before tomorrow. I'll PM everyone my number later who is interested, the more the merrier.

Weather looks fine for tomorrow, might be wet starting off but should be pretty dry in the afternoon.

Good to meet up with ye all. Enjoyed the run, though the legs feel fairly tired now after it.

Thanks lads, nice run

Hi guys,

Nice to meet you all today. I'm sorry I was a bit rushed. Had a quick look through my pics, and it looks like a great run!

I'll pick out the best ones, and I'll upload a little later and post a link.

Thanks for the day out Lads.

Sorry for taking so long to respond, but the laptop at home in on the blink at the moment.

Really nice route, and great scenery. Would be up for another at some point.

Report + pics up on the blog now, better late than never. Also I didn't want it to go unpublished after I didn't hear back from the Irish Runner
