I thought the Leisure Centre put 'guards' on to stop you doing that?
The official advice is to use the retail park. I must admit that I tend to use a side road, but it's a little way off. (I wouldn't use one too nearby, as it could get clogged up or cause inconvenience to the locals.)
Hi all
Looking forward to this again, but hope it stays solid on top
Hi BritNick, hope all is good :)
hi clairster - fancy seeing you here! ;)
Good Luck with Rombald's
I haven't quite ruled out Troller's yet - are you doing that one?
Ciao!,
Here in Firenze it is hot hot but I wonder whcih shoes I will need for the Rumbles race on Saturday with your snow?
Can someone from the famous chips and fish town of Guiseley advice me?
Is it the Norman Walsh shoes with the famous Pete Bland pyramid studs?
Or the Inov8 Rocky Light trail shoe?
Grazie mille!
Filippo

All's good with me. You too I hope. Have a smooth flight across and hope to see you on Saturday in the throng. If you see me first, please tap me on the shoulder and say how-do. I'll have to excuse myself in advance because my powers of recognition in a crowd are deficient, to say the least. :o
Hi Filippo,
Are you flying up to do this race??
When it's frozen it's less slippery, making fell shoes less desirable on the moors, and as owmeknee said, there's a bit of road, which makes fell shoes even less desirable.
HIya Daz..yup doing Trollers!, come play :)
Hiya Nick - thank you and will do. Allgood and looking forward to this!
I have ionov8 roclites and they rock :)
the man from Guiseley says wear tennis bats - its deep up ont moorsQuote:

So spikes are probably not appropriate, but perhaps PBs or Inov8 Mudclaws (preferably with new soles) would be the best footwear. Let's hope the forecast of -5C tonight is true and that the mires on Rombald's Moor are frozen.
Sounds like a magical winter wonderland the likes of which I haven't seen for years.
