Does anyone have the route for winter hill fell race in rivington/bolton in Lancashire. I don't live far from there so if anybody has a route I could do a couple of training runs on that would be great.

That's not a very good map! - has anyone got anything better?
You'll be lucky to find anything better to be honest.
I thick ive reccied it onced and done the race once (last year) and I still dont think I could go from CP1 to the shooting hut (CP2) without the race trod being nice and worn, which It might not be this time of year?
Have it saved on my garmin if that is any use?
Come and have a run with Lostock on a Wednesday night and we'll take you round it in the dark!

It is always a great night out, even if no one knows where they went :-))
If you can send the garmin trace to me (export it as a .gpx file from Training Centre) I can create a proper map from it.
Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
If you go on the Horwich Website here: http://www.horwichrmiharriers.co.uk/articles/?p=1725
You will find a map of the course here: http://www.horwichrmiharriers.co.uk/...terHillMap.pdf
The entry form here: http://www.horwichrmiharriers.co.uk/...lEntry2011.pdf though clearly states that you should not recce the course (at the request of UU).
To be honest, you don't need to recce it really, it's pretty straightforward. Unless you intend on winning it of course.
Anyway, you could simply buy the relevant OS map and map it out yourself. The CPs are all on the entry form.
