Nick Ham - long distance runner: September 2013
http://ultraploddernick.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Nick Ham - long distance runner. Sunday, 8 September 2013. Barrel Inn fell race 6.5mi. 27/08/2013. We got to enjoy a perfect summer's evening. It was good to see the usual suspects Caitlin Rice and Chris Jackson of Glossopdale Harriers once again. Whenever I turn up to a local fell race, there they are! It's that serial compulsive fell racing; it breeds speed. It's all good. :-). Caitlin and Chris already well finished by the time I collapsed across the line. Saturday, 7 September 2013. This came 3 days ...

A look at stuff that’s been experienced first hand. UX LONDON 2016.3. 21 May, 2016. Day 2 for me, day 3 for the conference (I nearly called it a festival then) and I was fully switched into learning mode. After the afore mentioned ‘Full English’ breakfast (sans black pudding) I used the UX chair lift up mount future, to hit the UX slopes for some black run practice, and some off piste methodology.

No I think that just about covers it. RIP John Edmund Power. 30 June, 2016. I’ll never forget the first night I met Eddy. I’d been dating Eirene (his daughter, now my wife and mother of my 4) for a few months when she took me over to Ireland to meet her dad. He sat me down (with the bottle of Irish Whiskey I’d brought him) and drank me under the table. He was testing… Read more →. 10 April, 2016. Annie Mo is 3. 17 March, 2016. Love at first bite. 14 February, 2016. We went for a family outing today ̵...

Artists and their work. Original creation that’s not crap. Man made stuff for the senses that the senses haven’t sensed before. UX LONDON 2016.3. 21 May, 2016.

Thankfully, the internet came up trumps again with a suggestion of what to do to entertain the younger two DragonDroplets. The intriguingly titled ‘Art...31 December, 2013.

Nick Ham - long distance runner: Western States 100 week Thu 25th
http://ultraploddernick.blogspot.com/2015/06/western-states-100-week-thu-25th.html
Nick Ham - long distance runner. Saturday, 27 June 2015. Western States 100 week Thu 25th. After the welcome we hiked to Emigrant Pass for the brief ceremony at noon. I joined WS volunteer 'UltrAlena' Hansen to share the flag carrying. Alena will be volunteering at Rucky-Chucky nearside this year. On the way up we breathed the dust of heavy construction vehicles as they climbed to chair lift construction works. A big crane that reminds me of Jez. A cement mixer kicks up the dust. Here are the day's photos.

Nick Ham - long distance runner: August 2013
http://ultraploddernick.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Nick Ham - long distance runner. Monday, 26 August 2013. Cracken Edge fell race 7mi. 07/08/2013. Race 8 of 10 in the 2013 Hayfield Championship series. I'd been looking forward to this long Wednesday evening lung burner for a long time, hoping to do it better justice than I did last year. A dry sunny evening brought us perfect conditions, and not too wet underfoot. I guess I didn't have any of the Lakeland 100 still in my legs. Here are the pictures. The camera survived the tumble, thankfully.). On Frida...

Nick Ham - long distance runner: August 2014
http://ultraploddernick.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Nick Ham - long distance runner. Tuesday, 19 August 2014. April 2014 - main event The Fellsman. Nearing top of first climb at Lad's Leap. Sat 05/04. Lyme Park parkrun followed by Chicken Run fell race. Lyme parkrun is more like a fell run than a parkrun. It's only recently started and this was my first time on it. It's steep and intense so great fun. Time is around 2 minutes slower than for Woodbank. A damp day at Chicken Run. Sat 12/04. 36th Calderdale Hike 37mi. This was Race 3 of 12 in the Runfurther.
