About the Hardmoors 55 on 19 March 2011




pictures from Hardmoors 55, 19 March 2011, a run in the Yorkshire Moors

this is proof that i was on the moors.


a family of sheep, if you stop where the sheep ar, then sometimes they try to follow you especially if you look at them, but they quickly lose interrest  and also, sheep dont seem to like running, at all.

this is part of the trail, and you can see its definitly a sunny day, which apparently is not normal for the Yorkshire Moors, where people are known to die, murderers have been known to hide, and which have often been described as desolate, but mostly in the context of poems or maybe thrillers.

here are some giant trees, this was quite soon into the run, and it reminded me a bit of Mpumalanga, which used to be called the Eastern Transvaal, and there are a lot of forests there (as well as the Kruger Park and you can go white water rafting along rivers that have crocodiles and hippos in them. the hippo is one of the only animals that cant be tamed, along with the rhino)

this I got from some photo's someone else took, but its nice.and indicative.

this is the start at the Cricket Club. the race was organised by Flip and Jon Steel.
