Any thoughts on Hay Stacks? Last two times have followed the so called race route to the south following the fence line. Didn't particularly enjoy that way. This year I'm planning on trying the path straight over the top - OK a little more climb, but hope the going is a bit better. Is it just a personal preference thing?

I would have thought most would follow the fence. Certainly in cloud it is probably the easiest. I would guess there is more potential for going astray by going over Haystacks.

As above, the line to the south is well worn and easy to follow

Been shortened to a 15 mile effort now.
Where can I get an entry form?

How do they do that then!? Miss out Kirkfell or something, drop down through Sailbeck?

Floutern tarn, Side of Buttermere, Scarth Gap, Black Sail, Stone Cove, contour Kirk Fell, Down black sail pass, Black sail hut/path to lake then follow south shore back to start.

Was changed to a low level trail race due to the threat of lighting.

Mr Elf reckons Rob Hope won Karl Gray second.

Awesome result for Karl

That was bloody tough. Garmin measured 21.1 mile with 4300ft, so that must still be a AL category. The track from Black sail Youth hostel was soul destroying. Race won by Rob Hope and Jackie Lee. Thanks to all involved, the refreshments at the end were plentiful and much appreciated.
