I think your right on the hilliest bits, certainly the steepest are on that stretch.

I'm in full agreement on the run back from Milldale, it's a long long way on tired legs and I was crying out for a hill. Until the hill actually came and I wondered why I'd wished for it...

I should be obvious as I'll be in either pink or lurid green pony colours.

right, that's it, I'm off work til next Tuesday now! http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/...ile_smiley.gif
packing car and going to see if we can find a campsite in the White Peak that isn't waterlogged!
I should be in horrific-green pony vest, so also easy to spot :cool:

Lucky Daz :( I'll be doing my prep on Saturday, probably make use of my new colour scanner/printer thing so I can draw a line on copies and not end up with more maps with lines all over for the various events over the north I've done! Seems like a good idea or one day I'll go miles off course following the wrong route around peaks/moors/dales :eek:

Liking the sound of the good footpaths/trails. The Last LDWA event I did was Moors the Merrier, it was a cracker but hard going in places and sometimes no distinguishable path. It was a reminder after easier navigable Osmotherley Phoenix and Wharfdale marathon that these things vary a lot.

See you Sunday - even get a slight lay in ;)

Quiet on here, anybody doing Marsden Moors Meander? new one for me.

I was thinking about it but found something dafter to do instead. I did another one organised by the same LDWA group last December - the Regular Irregular from Brockholes near Holmfirth. That was three different loops from the start point & I was the only runner as far as I know. Anyway I left everyone at the start - I think they were all walkers apart from 2 or 3 run/walk types. Friendly organisers, & the wettest run underfoot I've ever done. It was up to my knees in many places & it took 2 hours for the feeling to come back to my toes afterwards. I'm planning on doing it again this year :D

Thanks Splatcher, I know its a pretty muddy part of the world, not that far away, north of the M62 in Calderdale area (been in over my knee's a few times). So I'll also prepare myself for some mud here too, new running territory for me.

By the way whats your "dafter" option, I'm intrigued by anything thats a bit daft.... or muddy ;)

Hi DE do you have details?

I have plans for the weekend already but just interested.

Looks like I could be joining you on this for a leisurely lollop across the moors. The weather forecast's looking a bit grim to be up on Great Shunner & the Howgill ridge tomorrow, so I've postponed my Over the Hill attempt to next weekend.

Yes, three of us are coming up to do the LDWA double - Marsden on Saturday and Belper Rugby Rover on Sunday. Last long weekend before tapering for the Eagle Isle Ultra in three weeks time. :D
