Did a bit of forumite spotting myself - took a few pictures which I'll send to Martin to put on the CLEM site.

cheers:D

Just in case anyones missed them there are some pics on the Clayton le Moors site. Mostly Clayton runners, but I think I managed to get a few forumites too at the gates to the fell early on and approaching the trig to Check 10.

Keep an eye on Steve Bateson's site - he was taking photo's near me at the gate to the fell and he's a much better photographer. If you google runningpix you should find him.

Cheers

Hi everyone, since this race isn't too far off this year, I was looking for a bit of advice. I would like to take part but was wondering how difficult it is compared to the Winter Hill Race, which I ran earlier this year. I know its a bit longer, but I mean in terms of overall difficulty, so I can know what I'm letting myself in for :)

Where are you based? I'll be recceing 2nd half of race on Sunday (see 'Care to Join Me?' thread under the Training section.

Come along and find out.:)

Compared with Winter Hill the significant difference is the climbs - at Winter Hill they are mostly gradual, runnable for most. At the full tour they are taller and steeper particularly on the second half where the route zig-zags up and down the north face of the hill. On the other hand more of the run is on established paths which is a factor if it is wet as the the ground underfoot is better and not as sapping as Winter Hill .

Prepare the suffer, although the distance may not look much greater the overall is probably about double.

So who' actually doing the tour this year then?

Can't wait for it myself! :)

I might be :)

i may give it a go

Just found out I don't need to be in Birmingham until 3 in the afternoon tomorrow. Thinking of heading over to Pendle at 5am for a Headtorch Half Tour, and maybe catch the sunrise from the top. Anyone fancy joining me for a recce, or just for the sheer joy of running?:D

anyone know if there's an entrants' list somewhere online?

or are you meant to hear something by email or post as confirmation of entry?

cos I haven't

It's organised by CLEM

http://www.clayton-le-moors-harriers...p?pageref=fell

Not usually an entry list on though. A lot still POTD

I have done this for the last two yers and i cant remember if they put a entrants list up on the Clem Harriers website.

I have only this morning sent off this years entry, i think if you sent it you will be in if your not sure you could always ring Kieran Carr the organiser.;)

yeah I had a look there, ta

just wouldn't mind knowing whether my form was received or not, so at least I know which queue to join on the day

lots of mail to / from London has been lost during the post strikes

Kierans number is on the entry form on the Clem website ring him he is a really nice bloke.

sent him an email, cheers ali mac

Zoot,

I pre-entered a few weeks ago and enclosed an SAE. I got back some old photocopied results and split times and a map of the checkpoints. Sure they will just have our details there on the day.
