George Fox allegedly drank from this on his journey and also had the inspiration to found the Quaker movement while on Pendle.



1652.

'As we traveled we came near a very great hill, called Pendle
Hill, and I was moved of the Lord to go up to the top of it; which I did with difficulty, it was so very steep and high. When I was come to the top, I saw the sea bordering upon Lancashire. From the top of this hill the Lord let me see in what places he had a great people to be gathered. As I went down, I found a spring of water in the side of the hill, with which I refreshed myself, having eaten or drunk but little for several days before'.

I know where that spring is ~ it's also called Robin Hoods Well.

Don't think we'll need it on Saturday though:thunbdown:

Forget that. I have just seen the entry form and there are no boxes to tick there for an early start.

Just looking at last years times. how was the wather last year ? Is it likely to be a faster or slower race this year ?

I'm aiming for slightly above half way so just under 3 hours 30

these youtubes were from last year - so yes it was misty!

if you are worried about the route, make friends on the first climb with a similarly paced chap (preferably with a beard - good sign of an experienced fellrunner) in a pale blue top (rossendale) or white with an orange stripe (clayton) they will have done it hundreds of times.

And I hope someone points out to me robin hood's well and the site of any witchcraft - I'm really into my historical anecdotes on long fell races! I find they keep me going!

Will do, Daleside. I'm just researching a magic potion to have with me in my bum bag. Can't be doing with those sticky new-fangled gel thingymabobs.

Knowing you BL, it'll be ale of some description !!

I have no idea where I'm going so I shall make sure I :

1 Shave
2 Don't wear pale blue or orange
3 Am unfriendly on the first climb

Nimbus Broom stick lift would be good from CP 9 to CP10 :thumbup:
