Pendle Cloughs Fell Race

[karen nash]

Was on Pendle with DoE kids today and so found several on the ckeckpoints and had a good chat with marshall at last road crossing.
It looked great fun and I was jealous I couldn't join in- one to remember for next year!

I'll give you that, you were running fast today but, you were caught on camera more than once, you are also on 36 and 77, albeit in the distance but, there's no mistaking those purple shorts!!!

36 maybe, but 77.......I've even blown up the piccy and can only see the odd dot here & there. You must have fantastic eyesight Tomsk.

Thanks to all the runners for your support, and for all your appreciative comments, it makes it all worthwhile. Although must make that Barn at CP9 a bit more visible also a big thanks to all the volunteers, without who's help the race wouldn't go ahead.
Hope to see you all next year.

I was one who didn't see CP9 and ran straight on into the field for a bit before realising my error and coming back.

You know that phrase "couldn't hit a barn door from 10 paces", well I missed the whole bloody barn from 10 paces.

Well done Mrs T. You managed to get the winner this time! Thanks to Studmarks & all his helpers for a superb day. You even managed to fix the weather!

Was very jealous when I got to the Assheton Arms with the missus and in-laws and overheard a table full of fell-runners sharing their war stories.

Was about 3 o'clock. Was it anyone from on here?

Im on for doing this along with the preston tribe (its a club champ)

Just looking at that map scares me.

Navigational wise...
CP 1-2, 2-3 looks relatively ok.
3-4 looks 'ok'
4-5 looks 'tricky'.
As for 5-6, do people take the high ground and go over the top, or drop down lower passing the resevoir on your left and eventually climbing up to it.
6-7 -Doesnt look too bad
7-8 -Looks a long way
8-9 -Sounds like i havent to run past a barn?



Oh god, what if the clag is down.

Both; there's nothing in it, time-wise.

8-9 -Sounds like i havent to run past a barn?

The check point was just in front of the barn; when you get across the road and down the steps, look left towards the barn and it should be easily visible. I think several missed it because they had their 'nearly home' heads on and just charged straight down the hill.
