Icarus or Russel from Pudsey Pacers?
About to take off, crossing Hebden Dale back to Heptonstall, but flying too close to the sun on such a hot day, he was forced to climb back up from the Blue Pig with the sweaty masses.

Just dusting off the maps and flags ready for our next production.....2013 HEPTONSTALL FESTIVAL RACE - 6 miles / 1500 feet (CAT A) - Saturday 6th July - 11.00am start.

Last year was a scorcher - have a look through last year's galleries in the threads above

Our web-mesiter has asked me to point out that in a bid avoid some web hosting fees we have set up a new web address - http://heptonstallfestivalrace.wordpress.com

http://heptonstallfestivalrace.wordpress.com is so new that it might not appear top of the google searches for a few weeks until you all start visiting the page for details

Hope you can join us on July 6th for a race and a beer......

Why is there a picture of me having a pee against the Alcomden Stones on the cover page? :mad:

Also no festival this year just the race - is the festival happening later this year?

I'll have a word with the web designer to see if we can one of someone else taking pee on the actual race route - if not I think we could spare your blushes by using one of Dave Woodhead's or Sportsunday's pics from last year's race

The village Festival has been moved to September this year (due to the ongoing road closure - Lee Wood Road)
The Festival Fell Race organisers decided to keep the race in its traditional July slot; the 2013 fell race will act as a fund raiser for the September 2013 festival, before the festival returns to its July slot in 2014.

We still aim to have a good party afterwards - I guarantee there will be beer on sale - what more could you want?

The village is hosting CVFR Tuesday club training on Tues 23rd June; at least one of the groups will be heading round the Festival route if you'd like to get a recce in; all welcome; meet at 18.45 for 19.00 start...beer, food, and folk session back in the White Lion afterwards....

Does the postponement of the festival mean there will be no steam traction engine whistle to start the race this time???
