A good part of the reason I've taken part in so many stemmed from you, Mark and other chaps from Heptonstall being so friendly on the first Heptonstall recce/race. So thanks! Truth be told, before that first recce I'd been quite nervous about 'stepping up' to fells from the roads (even though I'd done the Yorkshireman). Now I've got a degree of confidence I'm really enjoying the different challenges of all the different types of races there are out there. So many hills and mountains - so little time :D.

Cheers,
Jo

Cheers Joe - pleased to hear we may have helped to inspire you! Think putting the building of worship on the Hurriers vest has given us that evangelical edge:D Glad you "saw the light"....see you in Cragg Vale church tonight.

re the map; loop is anti-clockwise.....I omitted to mention that.
