I've not done it before Jamie but I'm reliably informed when you get to the top you descend a bit before re-climbing ;):eek:

Re: Weets - Fell Race - Barnol
you running DT? Or just popping along?
Tempted but there is also a mountain bike orienteering event which is V local so also tempted to do that then do Abbey Fell race the next evening?? But also tempted to do both races:confused:

Re: Weets - Fell Race - Barnol
In fact about half way along you descend down a road, then follow a path back up parallel to the road (and since you come back this way you do it twice). Theres a loop from the summit as well, which drops you a few hundred feet, then you climb back up to near the summit, and go back the way you came.

There's also a bit o'road on't way out and in't middle and on't way back:(, but apart from that it's a defo for fell shoes, especially if it's gonna rain like it did last year:eek:.
See you there ~ it's one not to miss.

The BOFRA site shows a 6.30pm start, the FRA site shows a 7.30 start. Now I am confused!

Re: Weets - Fell Race - Barnol
Well done Derby, I could not stick around after the race. I was having car trouble.
I was chasing your mate all the way round, my climbing prowess sucks.

Re: Weets - Fell Race - Barnol
Ha Ha,
Was anyone involved in the chastising of the bloke who failed miserably at skipping the first stile by climbing over the wall. About 10 of us had a go at him.
His defence was "its a race", "its a race" "its supposed to be a bloody race".
I thought to myself, I'll use that one on him when I overtake him.
"Come on pal, its supposed to be a bloody race, Hurry up"
oh the confidence in my own ability
He completely dropped me and I did not see him again.
Probably for the best eh......

Re: Weets - Fell Race - Barnol
Helly,
I arrived at the stile just as he was being shouted at. Someone said - "You'll be in trouble on the forums". I passed him on the next hill, but didn't dare make any comment in case he caught me later!
-
Re: Weets - Fell Race - Barnol
yeah much easier to call him from the safety of our desks.
ha ha, hope he does'nt read the forum.
He did look like he was strugglnig over that wall though.

I was queing at the stile and he tried to climb the walll. Gave him plenty of verbal but it didn't seem to sink into his thick head. Others handed out lashings of stick and I think he gave up after all that. Can't be sure as I got through the stile and carried on running. Never seen him before, he wasn't in a club vest, and I dont' care if I don't see him agiain. eegit !

Cheers Andy. Sorry about you being absent - I had a fairly substantial clip of you and other runners but the sun shining on the lens along with me managing to get my finger in the way ruined it somewhat!:o
You do make a brief appearance in the background around 4 mins 40 secs ;)
Are you having a run at Buckden tomorrow?
