It may be advised to park near the Old Sun Inn - hope to have some info on this later today when the loo delivery man has seen what the Penistone Hill car park is like.

fingers crossed, it will be safe enough eh. Cheers

This will only add a few minutes to your journey but the road can be very icy and slippy, especially if the forecast ice arrives!!

It has re-opened now!

We hear the roads have been gritted and clear, but the car park is a bit more difficult - cars have been in the car park and the portaloo delivery lorry got in (phew!) but it is 'a bit slippery'.

Are the Junior Quarry runs on as well?

Quarry Runs are on.

may run in microspikes for the first time, what do other people think? Used them in the previous snow and they were fantastic but that was very compacted.

wrap up warm! minus 11.5 in the bottoms and minus 8 outside the house, quite a big temperature inversion.

Cracking day for it, the mist didnt spoil another great atmosphere up on penistone eh.
Thanks to organisers, good coffee and biccies. A fair few in fancy dress too.
Looked like the front runners were floating across the snow on their way down... fascinating to watch.
Merry xmas!!!
