Love the stretch from High Spy where you can just blast it til Catbells.
Confused. Whats the difference between the two races, the AW and the TWA? ......Have I entered the right one?!
If TWA stands for teenager with attitude, how come theres a load of old g..s on the entry list?
That wouldn't pass as a joke:rolleyes: Try something less offensive:mad:Quote:

(:D)
So do you fancy helping me out. Two entry lists. What is the TWA?
Dunno.
Think it's a bit longer. S'got attityood. Like you.
Innit?
Not easy to find out anything about it though.
look on the websiteQuote:

Right, thanks. So teenager with attitude means older/more experienced runners prefferred. So thats why theres a number of runners I'd expect to see in the Lakeland trial entering the TWA and giving the AW a miss.
FourTEENth (by my reckoning) running of AW + Wynn's humour = TWA
And TWA = Teenager with Altitude not Attitude. More humour ;)
Easy really. :)
Stunning route! on the cards for next year, may even try and run around that one weekend, some lovely sections on that.
The TWA is alot longer with loads more climbing....it bumbles off up some other fells before eventually hitting robinson and continuing the normal Anni Waltz route.Quote:

Anny Waltz entry in progress as I type :) Looking forward to it, a nice birthday blast! See you all there
Rhys you're our 200 Waltz entry so you get a choccy cake - collect it on the day
For someome who's done AW twice and had a taste of a couple of Lakeland Classics, I think it fair to say that AW is a fantastic race within the capabilities of most of us.
Fantastic views and perhaps amongst the best routes of any fell race. But it isn't the hardest.
But extremely rewarding on many levels.
I am gutted that it clashes with PPP this year.
The TWA gives you all the plusses of the AW, but with that essential ingredient required for some of the nutters out there - lots of extra ascent - which will put the TWA in to the Lakeland Classic bracket and perhaps beyond, as the scenery just cannot be beaten.
Darn it! I got too excited and got my entry in too quick!Quote:

why has nobody ever mentioned the descent from Dalehead to the tarn? - my single favourite sort of underfoot - what I call a "Tetris" path - one of those roughly made steppy jobbies where you can just fall down, so long as you keep looking 1 or 2 steps ahead :D
no doubt some purist will come on droning on about a secret grassy line, but I LIKE these paths :p
Daz i know its a long way off but could i grab a lift upto the waltz???Quote:

Well, I'm certainly no purist, but I've never come across a path down to the tarn. I've always just taken a direct line - mostly grassy, pretty steep, but a bit rough.Quote:

maybe it's me that's found a secret "magic" path then...Quote:
