Sounds a hoot! Everything I've read and heard has been along those lines, yet I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in on the 13th. I'm sure that will have all changed around about CP4...

HA HA I'll let you know Stolly. Probably on the Monday, Sunday I'll be too stiff to log on :)
I quite enjoy slogging up the unrunnable ascents. Its the descents I'm not so good on so that Geronimo one looks a bit of a worry.

Just borrow a marshalls bib, having watched the above the bib's optional:D
Can be done in Walsh's as well as X-Talons.

The part that's funniest - or, to be more intellectual, most evocative of the Human Condition - is the guy who comes down Geronimo perfectly, and then falls over trying to get through the gate.

Maybe he forgot to fall and just remembered going through the gate and didn't want to dissapoint anyone?

The guy doing the flawless bum slide at 1:10 is none other than Neil "Legend" Worswick, a veteran of this race (now in age as well as reputation!)
Re: Full Tour of Pendle 2010
I was out this afternoon, trying to get an idea of the route. Didn't get on too well - as you've said on here, the Harvey map lacks detail, so I found it difficult to work out where I was. I've got a South Pennines OL21 map, but that only has half of the hill. Which OS map has all of it?
Re: Full Tour of Pendle 2010
I'm glad I'm not the only one ! I found nowt ont net ! I'll just try & follow Brotherton Lad !
Re: Full Tour of Pendle 2010
