I guess everyone is doing Duddon this weekend with it being and B/E championship race.
Well I'm having a blast round Pen-y-Ghent instead so I hope I will see someone there to race ?

Had planned to do this but am saving miself for Blencathra midweeker next Wed. Don't think the hamstring would survive Pen Y Ghent and be OK for Wed unfortunately. Enjoy it and have a gud un.
I'm also planning Blencathra (after Waughs Well on Tuesday ~ must be mad) so I'll watch out for you. Whilst I've never done it before I don't think there's usually a big entry for that one.
No -one else doing Pen-y-ghent ????.......looks like I might win it then!

...there's a hill nearby missing its fool...
there's a shop on the way to the race stick - the coop, at hellifield no need to go all the way to thirsk!
i'm going (on the train) and looking forward to it (both the train and the race and especially the teas after!)

Mr lurker and myself are planning to be there....we were thwarted by the heat last year......but think we'll be OK tomorrow.
Can't find a thread on this race. Is nobody doing it? Chuff me, i'll win it then If 2 other people turn up i'll come 3rd. Will report back later

Hard Luck
It is a race Preston Harriers have chosen for their club champs so there will be a few of us at least!
And a CVFR club champs race...
... and the Yorkshire championship race, too !
That means lots of people in front of me. As long as I can keep Weetabix Power within visible distance (with or without binoculars) that will be enough for me, since he's threatening to runaway with our club vets title this year.

First back, first Fell Pony that is, only Fell Pony i think, so i was last as well Cracking race, thanks Settle Harriers and marshals. Weather stayed fine, bit humid, but you could feel the temperature drop at the summit. Good descent back with a bit of a sting in the tail at Whitber Hill, looked worse than it was from a distance. Bumped into my old Physical Training Instructor from my TA days, used to run it every year and once came third. Must be approaching 70 now and still looked as fit as he used to. All in all a good day out, hope me legs are up to the Hebden Bridge tommorow, a few leg loosening cider's required now
