Report. A beautiful morning for a trail run and/or peak bagging session. In the crisp and clear morning air, our happy group set out at 8:30am sharp to tackle the Hanes Valley and peaks beyond. We all made it safe and sound back home. 11 runners showed up to do varying distances , 7 were going through the Hanes Valley and 4 only to Norvan Falls. The 7 going through were a collection of veterans and first timers. Seeing that Ean was in that group, you knew that detours were to be involved. Ean convinced Jim, Jason and Carlie to bag Crown Mt and a few lesser peaks on their way to their finish at the pub at Grouse. Chris, Kate and Katie opted to bypass Crown and head straight to their finish at Grouse with Chris continuing down Mountain Highway back to the start for the full 30km. Brian and Rochelle (out of towners from Kelowna) decided to go a little further than Norvan Falls and hooked up with some bandit Fat Assers ( Monty, Phil, Ann and bandit leader Gottfried) doing an unofficial Hanes Valley run. Thanks for showing Brian and Rochelle the way. Kudos to Brian and Rochelle who completed the full course in about 7 hours. I am sure they were happy to see their car, given that they set out to do a little 14km loop...
This is the 3rd year that I have been injured and have not made it through the valley. Fingers crossed for next year as it is one of the best runs in the lower mainland. Thanks to Sibylle for keeping me company on the way back and for all that you do for the club. Thanks to all who came out and hope to see you next year and maybe a few others as well.

Well we all made it safe and sound back home. 11 runners showed up to do varying distances ,7 were going through the Hanes Valley and 4 only to Norvan Falls.The 7 going through were a collection of veterans and first timers.

Chris was the only one to complete the full course .It was a very busy day with lots of runner and hikers going through the Valley. Brian and Rochelle ( out of towners from Kelowna ) decided to go a little further than Norvan Falls and hooked up with some bandit Fat Assers ( Monty,Phil,Ann and bandit leader Gottfried ) doing an unofficial Hanes Valley run.Thanks for showing Brian and Rochelle the way.This is the 3 rd year that I have been injury and have not made it through the valley .

What a perfect day for a run! Had a great time doing this route for the first time, and all the Hanes Valley-ers stayed together as a group which worked nicely for everyone I think. Managed *not* to let Ean tempt me into doing an extra 2+ hours by bagging Crown - yes Ean, I know it would have been fun... but, my fun tolerance may be slightly lower than yours these days! After Ean & the rest of the peak baggers veered off towards Crown M1, Chris, Kate & I went left towards Mountain Highway / the gondola down. Chris was going much faster than the two K's by that time so we told him to just Go Home & we both ended up catching the gondola down (then getting rides home in a bright blue 2014 V8 Mustang).
By the time I got home, a shower & beer were desperately calling my name. Unfortunately I got called in to work but not for too long (so my beer was put on pause). Now I'm clean, beered & probably heading to bed soon :)
Lovely little run. I left our house early and ran to the start at Headwaters Park. With a little detour up the valley since I arrived too early before the start, I already clocked 11km before everybody lined up to head up to Norvan and beyond.
Des kindly waited for me at the turnaround and we tackled the return trip together. Total mileage for me today (second last long run before Berlin) is 25km. Time on the course (14km) to Norvan Falls and back was 2:09.

Oh and we bagged Goat & Little Goat on our way down! Yay!
Now I get to come to the Bagger Banquet! Hooray!
Great Run
