[duracell]

well done at hebden duracell.

did you go wrong at all? it was a very busy route i must have lost 10 mins running in the wrong direction.

good day though. will be there next year.

No ,no detours but it was more good luck than good management tho'

Try the Good shepherd fell race in the autumn ,it goes over alot of the same

ground .

Is this for the long route? I was suppose to be going to the lakes but not now so wondering if to do this and turn up on the day.

[Graeme]

Yeah I think thats the long route.

Is anyone thinking of doing the The Rombalds Stride (advertised as 25 but only 22miles). Its on Sat 3rd Feb and gos over Ilkley moor and over Otley Chevin - (about 3500ft of climb) - big local event 50/50 runners/walkers. About 300 did it last year.

I've now got an entry form but they dont appear to be widey available. Its organsied locally by 15th Airdale Scout Group. Let me know if anyone want any more details

[socks]

I am dithering about whether to do this one. I've done it at least twice before,so no problems with the route (although lots of people take short cuts!). Loads of runners.

Rombalds Stride
Yes I'm in -got my number this week no.231 so there's space for more

Short cuts ? Where are they then ,would like to know

[duracell]

Am I the only one on here doing the Tandem on Sat?

I' ll take that as a yes then .

the main short cuts are from Hope Hill (Baildon moor), the climb after white wells (ilkley) and Quarry carpark (Chevin). Some double back and go up the steps to top of Chevin. I dont think this one gains a lot. Total distance with the short cuts is under 22 miles. Some like to believe its 25m working out an impressive pace - well thats what i do!
