    Agreed.

    I'm sure I was in the right bits of it and following the 'path'. Just let me lay it on thick for a bit. Makes me feel good - novice and all.

    As I said I loved the day, great event. Will be back next year to try and do better.

    I agree, and they weren't even big tussocks; which is why I told Alwyn there weren't any tussocks, or not tall enough and frequent enough (in my mind) to register as proper tussocks.

    Now if you want to see proper big tussock grass, you should see what I dragged Wheeze and Toffer though up the far end of the valley last May .

    To be fair, it is a bit hard going for those not used to it, and who haven't developed webbed feet.

    Just done "Autumn in Lakeland"
    same day as you lot were thrutching round the fell relays:

    Fabulous route it is too! - A circuit of derwentwater taking in catbells, close castle crag, crossing the valley and ridges to langstrath, and ashness bridge then back over walla crag to keswick

    Re: All LDWA events thread.

    Shropshire South Circular, in Feb. I had notification last week that they have filled 150 of the 180 places, mine and the Missus entries are now in (that's 2 less places). So if anyone is thinking of it - act now.

    Always good, bit of an orienteering type event; believe it's 25 mile + 4500ft this year.

    Hi Moley - how do I get an entry for the South Shrophire circular - I can't find anything on the web. I'm not a member of the LDWA, is it buried out of sight of non-members on their pages?

    Thanks

    Get your entry in quick, always oversubscribed by December.

    You only receive the route when you arrive at the registration, so just time for a quick plotting on the map and then off you go. Almost like orienteering but with loads of food stops .

    Good event, great atmosphere as loads of runners turn up for low key 'winter training' run out. Well worth the effort.

    Re: All LDWA events thread.

    Jumping ahead alittle but as in another thread, was toying with the idea of doing the MTL for a laugh, but then thought what about doing the Rossendale Way in a Day? I trained for the half a couple of years ago but ended up injured and missing it. Has anyone done the whole one and how tough is it?
    www.vlaevents.co.uk Fancy something different?
