Thanks to all the organisers and marshalls and particularly Kieran for another fantastic race. Having done it a few times now I have noted that he always takes the trouble to write a report and he has always passed on his good wishes to the runners from himself and his wife Doreen so I was sad to hear the news of her death. I don't know if he reads the forum but I would like to pass on my condolences to him. See you next year.
Sad news, Deepest Sympathies to Kieran, family and friends, from me.
Mapper has made the Telegraph - local not national - Lancs not Yorks. Sorry I didn't get your good side Mark :-)
Kieran were very sorry for your loss. thank you for putting the race on as it's a classic for all concerned, thanks to all the marshalls and helpers on the day without all of you it wouldn't be possible.
Perhaps some of those people who are wanting results quickly, should show some respect and realize that RO have other things going on in their lives.Quote:

Things like that make you appreciate things.
I have changed the fonts on the results so they are more readable.

Pony Taylor (Amex) has written a typically candid race report which can be viewed on the Pony website....i dont think there's any profanity this time!
Just read the report, Brilliant stuff, put me down for a copy of his memoirs. :thumbup:Quote:

Inspiring stuff Steve... well done that man.
It was really inspiring, well-written too. Must admit it sent a cold shiver down my spine, I had a bit of a fall at the 3 Shires this year and ended up in A & E, nothing like as bad I hasten to add, I was lucky in comparison. I'm really glad he's running again and getting round Pendle after that speaks volumes. I hope he goes from strength to strength.Martyn
All power to you, Steve. Amazing insight into what must have been a nightmare. You've picked yourself up (with the help of your nearest and dearest) and fought against the odds to earn your place at that starting line last Sat. Such difficult and life-defining times lie ahead for lots of us, whether we know it now or not. When that time comes we'll ask ourselves 'What would Joss do? - and Steve?'
Thanks lr.Quote:

I will look out for you Amex.
Yep, a beautiful little essay.Quote:

Has anyone got an electronic copy of the map/routes I could look at before buying one at PBS on Sat morning?
Also, an entry list anywhere, just to make sure mine arrived!
See you next weekend!
Found these two online which I'm going to use on saturday.

No idea about the entry list, I sent my entry off about a month ago but I have no idea what happened to it.
They look like slightly old maps to me. CP1 has moved - check it against the co-ords given with the entry form. You now cross the wall where the old CP1 was and head close to due W. to another wall (where current CP1 is) before dropping to the clough.
cheers folks, gives me an idea to work off!
Now, just to get rid of this cold...
In theory the new CP1 is over the wall (using the stile that's marked as compulsory for the return leg) and turn sharp left about 100m.Quote:

Just assume that you're going to have to cross the stile and turn left, everything should follow from then on. Some runners drop straight to the clough (following the path along the clough is better running but you can get stuck behind slower runners), some will carry on towards the CP8 location for a while before bearing south down to the clough (flat but rough underfoot when you get past CP8).
In practice, I doubt it makes a lot of difference what you do, there's no 'magic route' from CP1 to CP2
I have a spare number for full tour. You just need to provide your details so it can all be official with the race organiser. I can't run as I'm off to Kendal for the mountain festival :-) Message me if you or someone you know wants this.
Looking forward to this race next and enjoyed my recce over at pendle last week. do runners go literally cross
country to get to cp 1 and thus avoiding the summit and the old cp 1?
Sorry for the basic and boring question, what is the parking like for this - is it worth me spending double the fuel bill to bring the 4x4?
Busy enough. The car park is usually full and the roadside jammed as well. Was there today and by the time I got back from a run around the course it was pretty crowded just with walkers and day trippers. Best get there early if you want a decent parking spot.Quote:

This is getting complicated. Plan so far:
1.) get rid of cold (almost gone)
2.) turn up early to park
3.) follow a local!
