Bullock Smithy Hike 4th September 2010: ‘A long afternoon in the hills’
This year’s Bullock Smithy organised by the scouts saw an injection of fast runners, a few really keen ones sleeping in vans for the few hours between registration and start. A record field assembled in the warm sun in Devonshire park and there was an obvious increase in the number of ‘runners’ for this annual 56 mile tour round the Western Peak District which starts at Hazel Grove. There’s talk of some runners who have sub 2:30 marathon times in the locker – which would equate to some fantastical BS time. There’s an air of anticipation with many runners and walkers looking for a good time this year.
