It was a mild, sunny and slightly breezy day and the Tellytubbies jumped out of bed and decided to go for a little run on the last day in the year, to Top Withins.
They set off from the quarry near the West End Cricket Club, Penistone Hill near Haworth and were surprised to find themselves surrounded by other happy runners, including Ginger Spice, a man with a turkey on his head, a continental couple in lederhosen carrying a cow bell, garlic and a French stick, some pigs, Emily Pankhurst, Mary Poppins, some nuns and Poseidon.
Laa Laa, although she was reluctant to agree, eventually decided that Tinky Winky was right and left the scooter at home, which was a good job as it would have been hard work carrying that across the bogs and moors.
They ran at a steady pace so as not to get their new outfits too muddy, and enjoyed splashing through the beck at the valley bottom, twice!
Spying Kathy at the top of the hill on their way back to Penistone Hill, they sang Wuthering Heights to her as they advanced at their tubby pace up the hill, she seemed to enjoy being serenaded!
Running back, they sang songs, skipped and held hands, Laa Laa thought they had all had so much fun and to end the most perfect day, Po, Dipsy and Tinky Winky even let her finish first!
The Tellytubbies are grateful to Daleside Brewery for sponsoring the Auld Lang Syne fell race, to the Wharfedale Harriers for organising and supporting so well, and to the Woodentops, Dave and Eileen Woodhead for all the fantastic events they have organised and supported for so many years.
