I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong as its been 12 years since I last ran it!!

Sounds about reet to me.
A shorter description might be '' Up, down, back up, back down'' !
It's a cracking race. 4.5m of lung bursting, heart pumping, leg stretching fury :eek:

I was vastly taking the mick, im not even doing the race.:o:D

I call the main climb "up the middle" the real big end is the last climb in the FTOP further to the right.

Hehehe, well it was just about still there on Wednesday on a full tour mission ;)

Good luck to all runners :)

Arse, i've got physio at 10.15 that morning :mad: i could still make it but one thing i do know is that my ITB will be very sore :D decisions...

Looking over to Pendle from pinhaw today looks like theres still lots of snow about, i went round the route 2 weeks ago t'was boggy then so by now it will be super sloppy.
