Cracking little event in a beautiful location.
Big thanks to the ladies in the van and all others who marshalled the course.
Impressive run by Rob Jebb on the climb. Won the race easily.
Oh, where is Ingleton Working Men's Club.
I found Ingleboro WMC and the Ex Service Men's club.
Go up main street from the A65 then drop down towards the waterfalls car park on that steep little left turn. It's on the left just at the bottom. If you get to the sharp bends before Inglesport you've gone just too far. We could have had a game of darts whilst we all waited for crabby crabtree the xc legend.Quote:

I hope it is, otherwise there's no chance I can get my 7 in!Quote:

Fixtures list
No firbank or fairmile it seems.
Looking forward to Scout Scar on Sunday. Didn't manage 7 races last year but aiming to do them all this time. Hundreds of runners driving into Longsleddale should be interesting!

Enjoyed the final points race of the season today at Elterwater. It's a great series of races with a bit of everything so thanks to all who made it happen.
Thought I'd bring this thread back to the fore. Enjoyed watching the Scout Scar races today and great to see so many familiar people I used to race against in the senior race........and how graceful they were in letting so many younger runners get in front of them! Well done all and did the lone Horwich runner stay in the lead of the men?
And not just younger runners on those days when being recognised is more embarrassing than flattering .:DQuote:

In my own defence, I was wearing boots, carrying a rucsac and it will have taken me more time just to get along to the high point than it took you to do the complete race.
Thanks John - the sharp end of the race was impressive.
Slippery conditions today, rain held off though. Seem to be going ok, it's an auspicious start!
I think Mr Rain went indoors when he saw you were back racing.:)Quote:

Please make sure your car is off the road or the race may be consigned to the history books, like Fairmile and Austwick.
Register online on the Helm Hill website. Can't wait for Giggleswick School XC, best XC course i know.
First one tomorrow, pb for scout is 33.39.
Given the weather it will be just a bit busy. Good luck.Quote:

Does anyone have a GPX file of the Whitestone race route? I'm doing some work in the area and we need to have an idea where it goes so we can put gates in appropriate places.
