Interesting climb for hill reps but I'm sure someone will know!
From that graph it looks around 800ft or 250m.
it's the perfect hill for reps! ;)Quote:

Thats what I thought!!Quote:

I dont know where im going - at all!
Its a long way and im 100% certain i'll just get cramp and it will ruin my race.
I did have a thought to stick with someone i know that is a touch slower than me so i take it steady and try and get as far as poss without cramping up.
But, if things go to plan...i may have a date with turbotom and fleeter in the lakes on the saturday.
Forget the lakes, get yourself on Pendle for a beasting!! :)
I'll see your 'touch' and raise you 'a lot'. You can run with me if you like. I'm quite slow (last yr 3h30-3h45), but aiming for quicker this year. Having a whippet like you next to me might spur me on, whilst I might keep you in check!:DQuote:

If i could stick with you that would be quality....but you'll have to shout at me when i try to go shooting off into the distance.:rolleyes:
Golly...i'll do it just so then i can go down geronimo..that looks epic!
Erm...em...can i have a lift please.:o
Golly?! Have I stumbled into an Enid Blyton adventure?!:DQuote:

But if you're happy to 'slum it' in the bottom half, be glad to have you along for the ride.:)
Just treat it as a training run if nothing else.;)
If i wasnt sticking with anyone i think top half is where i'd be.Quote:

Maybe we should all place bets to see how far i get before i cramp up.
As you say...just a training run and a recce for next year.
Is it pre-entry?
From elsewhere I gather over-subscription isn't a problem, and entries are taken on the day. But for a student like yourself the clincher is it's £5 pre-entry, £10 on the day.
Now wheres that cheque book.:DQuote:
