I want the results, now!
Give us a second!
There you go, Brummy!

Yikes, that was quick, with results like that I think I'll start using really big red font in conversation.
Thanks guys :)
I'm getting closer John. You beat me by 11 min last year. Only 2 min last night. Maybe next year?:)Quote:

We'll have to see whether fairly large blue font works as well as Brummy John's huge red font, Stagger. ;)Quote:

Anyone doing it?
Yep, as long as I can finish work an hour early and get there in good time, how many runners does it usually attract?
yes I'll be there, never done it before.
We'll be there as usual. Mainly for the juniors. Not sure about Chris.Quote:

I should be running this. Seem to remember there is a fair few styles/gates to contend with for such a short race - At least it will give that Pudgy chance to catch me up:D
Fighting talk young plodder, fighting talk. Only time we'll see each other at a style is as I'm coming down and you're still going up (possibly :o)
Don't forget, unheard of luxury for a fell race, there's changing and showers in our salubrious facilities, and tea and sweeties upstairs after the race (you have to pay for these, so Swoop best bring his flask and packed lunch again :D)
Just realised it's a 6.45 start, hopefully I'll be able to finish work a little early.
Will do!:DQuote:

don't forget Liver hill , free entry ,and showers at the Pits.
Can anyone supply a grid ref for the start of the race? And a vague route description? i cant find owt on rossendale site but its probably just me being stupid... Cheers
Grid reference is 820232. The route follows tracks then climbs to The Height, before swinging left onto Bonfire Hill, going through fields, then onto moorland (boggy in places). Last little steep bit onto the top of Liver Hill, then back the way you came. Brummy John's got a profile of the course on http://www.johnmayall.btinternet.co....erhill2006.htm
Some nice knee deep bogs to contend with!!
It's fairly easy going because most of the climb is on hard tracks, the open moor bit is fairly flat or with slight gradient (apart from of course the last bit up to the summit)
Should be running providing the evil witch-slag boss goes home early.
I think we'll be having a run. By "we" I mean some of our children and me.
Met you last year chris, about a week before the race on the track from marl pitts up to liver hill, I carried on down to Water and you were making your way back to Bacup.

Just come back from Liver hill training run, nice and boggy, just what the doctor ordered .Top of the hill would be a great place to watch from, apart from the first climb/decent you can see damn near all the race.
I was thinking the brave could hurdle one of the fences, you might leave your teabags on the barbs though.
It's ok, iv'e already been done, that's why my avatar's angry:DQuote:
