If you keep to the right, you can miss all the quarries out. Grass all the way.

Well on with the conversion Mapper, all exterior done. Just on with the soundproofing & insulation. Hope to be cruising around Horton in Ribblesdale for Pen-y-Ghent :rolleyes:

Just have to make do with a pub crawl around Coniston 'til then :D

Hope we can get some good views from the tops tomorrow. OK I know that we should all be running so fast that we've no time to stand and stare but I might just pause for thought at the top somewhere provided the clag decides to keep away!!:)

What is the exact distance for this race. I have seen various distances from just over 7 to 9 miles? I have never done this one before and, looking at the climb from the start, it looks tough!
