Hi Duracell
The 7th April is still free but I had planned on a BG recce.
Can't make Calderdale as I'm having a crack at Dark Peaks '15 Trigs' 55ish miles with at least 7000 ft climbing unsupported in a max time of 15 hours.
This is on my doorstep, well a bit of it is. It is an absolute classic of fell running and a must as a training run and a great day out. Tradition has it that there is no backup. Apparently the record is just over 10 hours (unless any one knows better)
If you want to know the details i can post them
Ian
Good luck on that .
Would be interested in the route

If you cant change something, change the way you feel about it !
Calderdale Hike looks good. Didn't know about this race.
Might come and do it myself, since I can't make the Wuthering Hike this year.
