Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 06/04/2025At the Five Trigs race yesterday we raffled off an A2 print of my Spine photo to raise money for Oldham MRT. We raised £400 from raffle sales, and in total they received a cheque from the race director for £1100. A great day all round. 🥰 2352

Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 29/12/2024@drlygo.bsky.social Hi love. Do you know where I can find a list of CP food for Winter? I’ve searched the FB group and the website and can’t find anything. I know about the lasagne, but that’s it! 🤣 210
Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 07/12/2024Spine race weather so Spine race kit test. The Holme Valley circular loop, with mid run cafe stop. Watch it be the warmest January on record now 😳 7770
Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Starting and finishing at the Inov8 shop in Staveley you visit 8 Wainwrights on a loop of some very boggy trails. Most of which I’m in no rush to do again 😳 2531
Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 01/12/2024Skamper/Inov8 round complete! Spent 90% of the day in rain and clag but the waterproofs worked a treat. Got a badge for my troubles too. 2393
Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 30/11/2024There’s a new running round in the Lakes called The Skamper Round which starts from the Inov8 shop at Staveley. 8 Wainwrights and back before the cafe closes is the aim. Giving it a go tomorrow in some changeable weather 😳 5684

Mel Sykes @nuddypants.bsky.social · 21/11/2024Was out imagining that I was in the Spine Race this afternoon. ❄️ I would LOVE these conditions for the event. I’d feel like I’d got my monies worth. 41471
