Is this entry on the day? I woudln't have a clue what time to expect but oddly it does appeal to me

I emailed the organiser and he said there'll be no probs entering on the day - that's what I'll be doing!

I know it's tantamount to heresy on here, but I actually quite fancy a weekend off this off-road, stumbling about, slipping/sliding malarkey, and get my feet onto nice reliable, predictable tarmac for a change

had to dust off my road shoes mind - not used em in ages!

I'm also really interested - no idea how I will do nor wot time to aim for as I rarely if ever run on the road. I can see a train crash of a race for me if I do it

If I do do it does anyone know where to park in Buxton?

If you get there in good time there are often places to park on Burlington Rd beside Pavilion Gardens. Otherwise, there is a pay&display in Pavilion Gardens accessed from Burlington Rd. Race registration is in the Pavilion (well it always used to be...)

It's given a great day tomorrow weather-wise. Good Luck to all running tomorrow!

just to say what a fantastic time I had doing this race today
glorious weather, bringing out the gorgeousness of the scenery to it's full potential
great undulating course (very little flat - just how I like it)
the sluglets enjoyed Pavilion Gardens
everybody's caught a bit of sun

After DTSs comments, I went over to the RW site and found a load more (including DTS again) Since then, I've been waiting for this one to be advertised again.

They've just put up the date and £, with a 75p cost to register online.

I'm in already

would do it again myself, but it clashes with Duddon
