Three Peaks Fell Race

I'm so glad I don't have to do this again after getting my Target time for this. Lots of other races out there.

I'll still be walking it though 5 times a year leading charity walks...

Cool, I'm getting pretty excited about it, may be need to get out more eh:)

I'd hate to be a race organiser; this kind of tedious whinging must really grind them down.

I don't think £18 is bad for this race at all. It's a lot more complex than most AL fell races, it's got decent drinks stations, bottle/food drops, lots of marshalling, traffic control, live chip timing,marquee, food voucher etc, etc.

The atmosphere was really good this year and i'll defo be back in 2011

Oops... Nearly forgot... I am duty bound to point out that it's not an AL. :sneaky:

Must be going soft in my old age... :w00t:

Well done, Ian. I feel obliged to go back, I have a ghost to lay to rest.

As fell races go, it's pricy. As any other day out goes, it's a bargain. Monster marquee, live band, decent beer, carnival atmosphere, horrible, horrible race (but that was my fault).

Still cheaper than the 2 marathons I did this year ( White Peak and Fleetwood ) , and way cheaper than any city centre marathon.

After doing the qualifiers at Hope Moors and Windgather I'm certainly looking forward to the PPP. Whether I'll be thinking the same at the bottom of Ingleborough is debatable.

When do entries open?

Thanks for the super-quick answer. Stangely I never looked at the home page on the website for some reason! D'oh.
