Yes but part of that was spent sat on sergeant man whilst someone had a phone call:p and we took it very steady. Didnt we only clock up about 12 miles?

I was job hunting iirc ;)

You've done Roaches before and so long as you didn't set off like a bat out of hell (some chance :rolleyes: ), you'd do the Trog too :) Those tussocks would do your knees a power of good :p

Re: Wadsworth Trog

I've decided to sack off Rombald's Stride and do this instead what with it being a 'proper' fell race and all. Is anyone planning a (slow) recee at any point? I am a girl therefore I mean girl-slow not man-slow.

Alternatively, I *think* I have loaded the checkpoints into my 405 in case I recee alone and get lost but I did get a wee bit confused when converting the grid ref to Lat/Long as the output from my snazzy iPhone app gave (for example) 053º48’20” yet the Garmin input field is in the format 053 48.xxx.
Is it correct to enter the above example as 053 48.200 or am I going to end up in Bognor?

I'm up for doing a recce pretty much any weekend really.

There might be one in the pipeline, but if anyone is organising one, i'm there.

And no worries about being slow, its a recce, so will probs be a gentle trot round :)

Re: Wadsworth Trog

Re: Wadsworth Trog

Has anyone been for a recce since the snow fell.
I have been asked to do a recce of the 1/2 trog this Sat (can't think why since I got lost last year).
Is it worthwhile going up at present, or should we wait until there's a bit of a thaw?

Lots of nice deep snow on High Brown Knoll. If I can master the technology I will attach a photo our clubmate took of the checkpoint vicinity: :eek:

Re: Wadsworth Trog

A few of us tried a 50k on Saturday and instead only managed 26 miles, and took in some of the route.
Was not runnable due to very deep snow off High Brown Knoll.

Indeed 42k. And I'm not sure 'run' is the best description.

Let's see how weather is Thurs / Fri hursty. I'd rather stay close to home if roads are bad and there's prospect of large snowdrifts tbh

Re: Wadsworth Trog

This year we've decided to use the old clipper system for the Half Trog and Sportident dibbers, which we are hiring for the full just to make sure everyone visits all the checkpoints.

If you have your own dibber, please bring it with you on the day.

Thanks

Re: Wadsworth Trog

Ta for posting the entry lists. Egad, I'll have to start doing some serious training now... :(

Don't know what it's like in E Lancs but it's pretty horrendous going round these parts. Let's hope we get a bit of a thaw.

Errm, it's "all the same" up there, isn't it? :confused:

You'll have to excuse me - I live south of the M62 and 'town! ;)

Re: Wadsworth Trog

Just noticed in my calendar (arrived today, thanks) that the full trog is down as a "BL". Thought it was an "AL"? :confused:

Jan, the Trog's just like Tanky's - your legs will feel like you've run an AL afterwards, especially with all this snow.:D

Re: Wadsworth Trog

Is it better to have tried and learned than not to have tried at all?
This AM, 4 of us attempted to reccie the full Trog.
High Brown knoll, just about runnable but quite deep in places.
From then on down to Dean Head Dam, up to knees and waists in snow. Very difficult even trying to walk. Interesting as the snow had a small layer of ice on the top, so a good scrape after every footstep. Had to abort about 1/2 way between HBK and the dam, and make our way back to the start.
I'm guessing that the roads and tracks the other side of the main road would be runnable (?) but Wadsworth Moor, a real no no.
Looking fwd to it clearing for the race.
Thanks to Elise, Mel and Lucy for your support.
