    Wasdale Head Show

    On Saturday the 11th of October its Wasdale Head Show. The senior race is short and sharp and is an absolute classic, going straight to the top of Kirk Fell and back which is 2.5 miles with 2400 foot of climbing. The action starts at 3. The junior races go up Kirk Fell too, just not to the top.

    Do the junior races also come down the fell?

    Do the junior races also come down the fell after they don't quite get to the top?

    It is just my bad fortune on this occasion that the first time in a few years it doesn't clash with the FRA relays I am badly off form and undertrained.

    It is a fabulous route and a great challenge.

    Unfortunately it clashs with Langdales - I've always fancied a crack at this one, but it will have to wait for a while I think

    And young Watto's got a battle on his hands for U23 honours as well!
