We'll try and squeeze as many cars as possible into the garage car park.

pass out swung, so count me in for my first go at this one :thumbup:

fluo-green Fell Ponies vest - seesyall there! :)

So, my first race since moving to the Peak, and, all things considered, my first actual fell race that isnt the Box hill race.
I see the Drovers Arms is closed, so is there a post-race pub, or is it correct ettiquette to try and blag a beer off'f Iandarkpeak?

I'm sure modest amounts of cash have to change hands before IDP will let you get your hands on some of that special nectar.

so as an extra challenge we get to run around the course with loose change in our pockets.:cool:

Disappointed to miss this little cracker, but driving over the pennines in advance of tomorrow's sister in law's wedding.

Daz, favourite quote from last year's race to give you a rough idea of what is to come came from, I think, Grouse...

"What second climb?"

a £2 donation to team funds gets you a bottle, £24 for a case. I'll be bringing a few.

Beautiful evening for this tough little race. Didn't go too well from a purely personal perspective. Steady 1st climb - in 5th at the top - started moorland bit on first descent - saw 3rd and 4th placed runners on wrong path down and left - stupidly decide they're in the right place - lacerate legs charging down through brambles to reach lower path - realise I had been right on the higher path - lacerate legs again going back through brambles - decide to abandon after losing loads of places - trot back - completely forget T shirt and water bottle left at the start / finish.

So if anyone picked up a dryflow cycling top "Tour de l'Oisans" which has some sentimental value and a water bottle (which doesn't) please get in touch and I'll arrange for their collection.

Still the ride over Holme Moss was good.

Hope everyone else had a more successful race!
