I'll see you there uc. The forecast has taken a bit of a turn for the worse though. There could be early rain passing through.
The Gun, The Roaches, Gradbach, Three Shires Head, Shutlingloe (only if we're feeling energetic), here we come, not forgetting to loiter at Wildboarclough for the oatcakes.

I'd not heard of this before. Looks a good 'un. Have fun guys

I'm walking it with my daughter. Say hello on your ways past! Don't worry about leftover oatcakes: we'll sort them out.

Re: 3 shires
I'll be there with Paul H from Goyt Valley. Looks like it'll be a good one.
If the food is anything like the Kipling Kaper we'll finish fatter than we start! Great stuff - the LDWA really know how to organise an event. (think it's Staffs?) Only event where you can run 29ml and gain weight!!!

Thought this might interest any people doing the 3 Shires too...

Obviously not.Originally Posted by DazTheSlug
How was it, Daz? Did you go for the full monty? It's been a few years since I've been free to do this one.
I bottled out of the 7M "Cheshire Loop", just doing the main loop + Shutlingsloe
nice to get up Gun on an event
and Brucie Bonus diversion through Lud's Church(!) was the highlight
22.5M total in a rather feeble 6:05
good weather, great atmosphere and stunningly well organised event - Many Thanks to Staffordshire LDWA
(hope to see you soon somewhere Nick!? upcoming I have deffo Anni Waltz and maybe Mow Cop and Rainow...)

Daz, I've only done the full route once, when I remember going through a very tired patch on that Cheshire loop. The Shutlingsloe out-and-back is always a given, though.
They should include Lud's Church as part of the official route. It's years since I've been through it. I forget which event took us through there. Could it have been Cloud 7 Circuit, last run in the scorching August of 2003?
I might see you at Rainow if I pull my finger out and do it this year.
