Was it compulsory to grab the railing and swing through the gate into the finish? Looks like it!:)
Tch, don't you know that fell runners technique, Colin? As used by many on the signpost on the Bull Hill race! ;)
Julian D and Erno didn't use it!:)Quote:

I think he's called John Barraclough, apparently just joined from some Bolton club.Quote:

Is anyone doing this race? As a turnslack virgin can anyone give a brief description inc. any climbs/descents of note?!! thanks
Not doing it this time but in short...initial climb, easyish first half then serious ups and downs on second half especially tough if as hot as it was in 2002!!
See Brummy John's review, profile etc - http://www.johnmayall.btinternet.co....ckfellrace.htm
Cheers for that, i found the rochdale harriers link shortly after my post but didn't want to seem like i was talking to myself by replying to my own post!! Ran it today for first time- your description is quite accurate, especially as it was bloody hot today-great race though, thanks for reply
Results should be out in 12 months or so!:rolleyes:Quote:

Overall a great race for this area with some good ups and downs, cheers Kev.
Anyone have any info re this race on Saturday please? Is there a club web site with more about it? :confused:
Brummy John to the rescue again!

Everyone who I've asked about it have said that its one of their favourite races. Despite it looking fairly tough, I've only heard positive comments.
A great little race thats very tough to say it has no big climbs. There is still 2000" knocking about somewhere in and among from what I remember.Quote:

My first time on this,great race,hard though.Jez...the v50's is well competitive...wish I'd stayed v45........
My first time too.
Although it was tough, it was very enjoyable. Great route :D
been a bit off it and used turnslack to try and relight the old fire.
tough race but good running most of the way.
the hills were hard work and made sure you worked.
some good performances from many a runner.
many thanks kev.
Thanks to Kev, the marshalls and helpers today. Top fell race this and propping myself up on a gravestone in the churchyard at the end of the race I wondered who was in the better condition :rolleyes: :)
It was a tough race this, but the cup of tea and cake sorted me out at the end!;)
Turnslack tomorrow. Let's see who can get to the church on time :D
Is it true the prize of the pineapple from Blackstone Edge fell race is still to be fought for?:D
One certainity with this being a K Shand production - there will be BOG :wink:
