Stanner's may do 3 hours WP, me? The longer the better away from the trouble and strife;)Quote:

You are guaranteed:
1. A run :thumbup:
2. A T-shirt :thumbup:
3. A saving of £5 :thumbup:
Anyone know where there's a route map for full tour?
Can't find one on race website. Is there one attached to this lengthy thread? Don't want to have to troll through the whole thread if I can avoid it. Cheers.
Nice one palQuote:

Agree hursty, full Pendle Witch Claws for me.
I'm running barefoot.
Good Man Dan, completely barefoot or bargripped or five fingered type of thing?Quote:
