Thought I might as well resurrect it. I know some FRA members have done their first events during the holiday, and planning some more.

Anyone have a place on the Shropshire South Circular end Feb? It's been full for ages (180 max entry, I managed to get one); interestingly the organiser Neil told me that this year it is 40% runners and 60% walkers registered.
Interesting statistics - so some of you must be coming along as well?

Molehill, I'd love a place on the SSC and was quite shocked and disappointed when told it was full already Apparently it never used to get full so early....it's all these bloomin' fellrunners starting doing it!!

Me and Juicer did our first event over Xmas - the Marches Tinsel Trail - and really enjoyed it Can't wait to do our next one. And excellent training it was too....wouldn't normally go and do a 20 miler on such relatively flat terrain. Food and coffee/tea at CPs is something that should be introduced
into fellrunning

I'm doing the 22nd Two Crosses Circuit on Sun 14th of Jan - anyone else?

[Graeme]

I was going to do it , but I've never run close to 18 miles, I'll probably just walk it with the wife.

I'm aiming on doing the 2 Crosses on the 14th - 25 if my gammy leg holds out. I did a half recci last week end over Turton Moor and Entwistle REs from Hawkshaw - very boggy in parts. I may do the Eastern half next weekend. Where does the course go for the shorter option? Also where is the route from cp 3 - got lost there?

Chris

The split comes at the end of the long track after turton tower. The 24 mile route carries on up the road. The 18 mile route turns right and goes across the fields to entwistle barn, past the pub, down the hill a bit and then left through a gate. Down to the river,turn left after the 1st bridge and up the fields to the darwen to edgeworth road. Cross this and go up moorside road. Turn left at a farm track about .5 mile up this road. From the back of the farm across some fields to join a track to get you onto the road whch eventually takes you up to the old maggott farm and then trudge across the back of bull hill. The route is along the edge of the firing range towards the tower, down through the woods to the entrance to the firing range.Across the road, through some fields to the golf course, up through the housing estate onto the main road and across to the old railway line down to the finish
