The route descriptions differ from this as they were duplicated from another web site which had taken liberty to 'correct' this error.
Thanks for that Pike. It looks like you had the same questions last year that i have this year. I think we will head for the car park at the Grid Ref Stagger gave last year and hope for the bestQuote:

Cheers.
My plan is to go on multimap....go on the OS section...find the area and try and plot the map.Quote:

A4 photo copy with the route marked on has been OK in previous years.Quote:

I can't go sunday because I'm running at Bolton by Bowland...
If I end up going by myself, is it possible to mountain bike leg 5 for a recce as I dont want to run it in both directions on sat. Otherwise I'll be goosed on sunday!
Cheers, Al
Welcome aboard Al! :cool:Quote:

And it saves all that messing about with the cars:)Quote:

i'll be at the start of Leg 4 tommorrow, are there any Saddleworth runners going to be there just in case I miss Colin, I have some thing for him.
Ive got my leg 3 map plotted and im now looking forward to this.
Very anxious that i havent been able to recce it and suspect i may go wandering....but hey ho.:eek:
IDP i can pass it onto Col (Bishop)Quote:

Though what a load of wallabies are doing in a field above Hebden bridge is anyone's guess.Quote:
