Anyone planning on running/walking the Calderdale on 14 April?
Anyone planning on running/walking the Calderdale on 14 April?
is that the one frey sowerby bridge? if so alledgedly , according to me mate, i would rather do meanwood valley trail but i think my pride won't let me back out,
The furthest i ve ever done in t hills is 15miles (unless the 3 peaks counts) so i m a wee bit scared
A bit too far for me at the moment but Mrs Stagger and a few of the Stainland Lady's are have a potter round as training for the 3 peaks.
I have entered it. Not sure about the route yet!
Link to the route as follows:

This one is coming on on Saturday 12th April and the detail are on -

I wondered if anyone has done it, if its on good paths and if anyone has a map of the route they could let me have for a few recces?
Not done it myself but will be doing it this year.

May be up for a recce at some point if you fancy it
If you have the time I would definitely recommend a reconnoitre. I've never had the time for such a luxury, resulting in this always being my most frustrating event. Calderdale is riddled with footpaths (many hidden up apparently private driveways, behind bushes and up secret ginnels), so navigational errors are obligatory - if you haven't reconnoitred. Best of luck, and plan meticulously.
I'll be returning again (don't ask me why - I can't keep away) and hoping to get further than the 26 miles I managed last year.
2 of us are planning on a recci of this a bit later on and just wondered if anyone else up for it?
BitNick, looking on the map and i see what you mean!
Did you (or anyone) get a map/route description when you did it before? Come on someone must have one??
