Just noticed there's no thread on this race so far this year - I've intended to do it in the past but never got round to it - looks like this is the year.
I've nothing much to add, except I notice this year the top of the figure 8 has been squished into an out and back.
One question - how bad is the climb up laddow rocks? I don't mind steep but I do fear rock climbing :o
Not much worse than Broad Stand.
Err.. hang on a minute: what do you mean, squished? Is there a map anywhere? (I was only kidding about the climb btw.)

The inward leg is the same course as the outward leg to and from Upper Hayden.
I think it was a figure 8 last year.

I've only seen laddow from the top and it looks like a hideous climb. I hope there's a relatively clean route up it!
I have a real fear of rocks - I nearly got crag bound in the Coledale Horseshoe but managed to keep going. Anyone know if its worse than that?
It's only a climb if you've gone the wrong way! It is steep, but if you head pretty much directly up to the checkpoint the ground isn't bad.Quote:

Excellent, thanks Steve.
