    Welcome Wooly

    My tip for this race is not to go off too fast it's a big climb that gets really steep near the end. Excellent running round Kinder followed by a mad dash down the fields(wear studs if wet and slow down before the stiles) Watch out for the worst hill it's only 40ft! if that, on the road near the end.

    See you there

    Hi Wooly

    Take it steady, don't get too caught up in what everyone else is doing and above all enjoy it, and whatever you do, DON'T FOLLOW ME - its my first time at KD too, lord only knows where you might end up!

    Hi Wooly - you've picked a great one for your first
    main tip, if you haven't already: enter in advance, cos it WILL fill up
    oh, and if you're not used to running along the edge of Kinder, be careful over the boulders as it's very easy to trip and injure yourself

    Re: tips

    You'll love it. It was my first fell race a few years back and it's got a bit of everything. Good advice from IDP about the studs, slowing down before the stiles and that nasty little kick-up on the road just before the finish. Tuck in behind a Pennine on the top for the cunning racing lines and save some gas for the final run-in (longer than you think). Give us a shout when you go by as I'll be supporting my wife who's running (I'll probably be at Kinder Low or Downfall with black and white fluffy dog).
