My good old Felldancers will see me reet. Though the stitching's starting to come away a bit...I'm gonna end the race barefoot, aren't I?:eek:

Can anybody please tell me if a recce is needed of the course for The Tour Of Pendle ? I've seen it a bit late, but fancy doing it.
A recce would definitely help, but I wouldn't say it's a must (I did it last yr having only recced the first half).
For most of the first half you could get by just following the crowd. Second half, the field thins out, and if the clag's down, the routes aren't that obvious.
Still, if you can navigate well, then just take a route map (either from Pete Blands or the Clayton site) & a compass and you should be able to get round.
Ok, cheers for that ! Sounds like a good 'un !
oh it's a good un allright:D
Me and none of my mates are able to get a recce in ( well not that they've told me). So fingers crossed we don't end up following each other!Quote:

Tell 'em we were only joking! It's like the fisherman who come back with tales of 'the one that got away'...we exaggerate the hardships to make us seem madder/badder/more dangerous to know.;):DQuote:

Ha ha-i know ive done it before. :D
Well the good news is I've decided to turn up for this one. The bad news though is that I'm fairly confident Pendle won't see me at my best :rolleyes: having had the lurgee for the best part of the last two weeks and done bugger all running.
I might even turn up and do a nice pleasant trot round and not bother trying to put my racing head on :)
Aye ohreet?:rolleyes:Quote:

Pity I won't be racing to push you that little bit harder stolly, hoping to be around on the hill though so don't think youre getting off lightly.:p
I've decided to rest my tiny legs from extreme distances for a while, hamstrings are running on empty.
Good to hear youre back at it.:)
See you around mate;)Quote:

Unless I make a miraculous recovery from newly-acquired injury, I could well be with you, ukhursty. Since spitting is a skill I've failed to acquire, I hope the inside of the pub would be an acceptable alternative.
