Hi Wobblehead, I will probably be up for doing another recce before race day, without the Mudclaws. They felt quite tough on the feet in a lot of places, can't imagine what they'd be like when the ground gets harder on race day. I will hopefully check split times at all he crucial points the next time I go up, let me know some dates, as I am off work a lot during the week etc.

As my post said, I have just got an unexpected three month holiday (at least )!
As long as I can tie it in with the school run, housework and ironing then my diary is not too bad, I live in the area so can be at Horton in less than half an hour, let me know some dates you are thinking of.
i reckon we got round between 4.15 and 4.30, i dnt think it was longer than 4.30, but i maybe wrong.
last time i did race i said i would never do it again, no i know why, whernside is a killer. i was pleased at getting round quicker on reccy compared to mt race time last year of 4.48
it was the type of day i enjoyed more after the event
id be up for going rnd again, but i dnt think id be able to get round any faster than yesterday
Thats a bloody fast reccy guys.
Last time I did the peaks on race day at 4hrs 18mins. I ached for weeks afterwards and took a few months to recover, and I bonked coming off inglebugger
Respect Due
it would have been a bit faster if id not have got us a bit lost between penyghent and nether lodge, also cocked up finding way under bridge up whernside, also im a slower runner which slowed us down a bit. wld be pleased if could get rnd race in that time, but my legs gave way coming of 'inglebugger' it seems a lot longer than 5 miles
I'm actually going to try and run the first section (PYG to Ribblehead V)this weekend to see if I can get there within the 2;10 cut off. I'm a really slow runner - so its actually touch and go - I'd love to do the race but not to be timed out. Thats another reason for not entering (for me)..... so i've not quite given in to spectating yet!Quote:

what are the distances between the cut off points anyone know?
Clod, I've pm'd you some details.:D
Got my race number through today, 406 !
I've done a bit of calcuating of this, but all the stuff's at home - I'll put it on here this eve - for everyone to see. unless denzil would care to share.........;)Quote:
