Looks like it might be a bit damp. The top is quite rocky and I wouldn't fancy flats. Sticky rubber Inov-8 270/285/295/330 would be my choice

It' slippy due to the hill being limestone. Good grip on rock definately needed for this race. It's a good one. Enjoy.
Out for a drive in the Dales & passed thru Ingleton just in time to give Mapper some, er, encouragement as he joined the road for the dash to the finish! ;)
I was in Bernie's cave shop and cafe when the start of the race trundled past. Recognised Rachel (aka shaunandrachel) in the pack but nobody else. I was gasping for a coke after 24 miler in the pissing rain myself so wasn't properly concentrating :). The weather turned out not too bad for the gala after about 2 o'clock I think.
It was warm when the sun came out Stolly. Claggy on top, hot on the track on the way up! Great race.
Thanks for the encouragement SS. How come you weren't running?Quote:

Buggered myself up on Ultra Race 100 (see Fell Running Blogs thread for link to details). How'd you get on?Quote:
