Gravy Pud Fell Race

Just seen the website has entries on the day too, so guessing it's still not full. Might give it a go and pootle along at the back somewhere...

There's 33 pre-entries so far, I doubt we'll fill up with pre-entries only but I'll put a note up here and on the website when on-line entries close on Thursday 4 December.

This looks really tempting. Are there places left? And I am still fairly new to navigating - is it right that this is partially marked? Will I do ok with slightly crap map skills?

It's well marked and marshaled.

Thanks, that's really useful. May well come along.

It's a really easy race to find your way round - it didn't even occur to me I may need to navigate before entering last year (was only my second race) - you can generally find a trail of people swearing as they go up the hill and it's pretty well marked/marshalled

Perfect. Depends on family commitments but would be my first proper race so need something a bit manageable.

Route was nice and damp on today's training run, although the descent through Swallows Wood has been wetter / muddier in the past. As every, exercise caution across the wooden bridge over Ogden Brook before the climb to Lees Hill - it is slippery as an eel right now with a fine covering of algae.

Funny you should mention that, I nearly took off crossing that bridge this afternoon.

Hmmm, it helps to take ones blades off too one would think.

I hope you've not been out setting traps for me ob1!
Looking forward to round 2 of the Quickdraw / Ugali monster / Turncoat battle.
