Ingleborough Fell Race

Feet in the clowclaps - -dont worry the gala commitee were just trying to generate more support and help. even if it was cancelled the race would of been run anyway:)

Bog trotter - just follow the track up but bare left and come of the side on the way down its quicker and you dont meet the rest coming up the steps:eek:

Wp - Dont worry your daughter cant beat you on this one they run seperately to seniors and turn round at Crina Bottom;)

Ady - dont spoil the fun by warning everyone about the banking it should be fun after the constant rain weve had today. p.s its not as steep if you bare left;)

As for the weather forecast, was told it was going to be a good weekend, but i've heard that before!! Just enjoy

You need to brush up on your pubs though:eek:

It's the Marton Arms and I've had a few jars there in the past!

When you come out after a few scoops the sign looks like the 'Mason Arms'. that's my excuse anyway :).

Count me in, I'll be there. I love that 4 mile climb (not), but the descent to Crina Bottom is superb.

Might give the Marton Arms a try afterwards ~ must be one of the few pubs I've never been in. Thanks for the extra info Ady & WP.

I used to go up there and do a double header in years gone by - Marton Arms then Hill Inn.
Some cracking nights.

Just back - rain kept off and a good day for the race.

Purists would say that it's not a real fell race (and some did) as there's a lot of running on gravel track, but it's my sort of race - great descent, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fish n Chips in the Village afterwards - couldn't stretch to a pint at the Marton Arms though - wife and kids in tow.

Rubbish. A purist would say it's a true traditional English fell race up and down the local hill from the village gala without any of that navigation nonsense.

And Rivi Pike is touted as a classic and contains loads of tarmac and not very much fell - go figure.

I agree - the tightness in my legs today tells me that was a 100% fell race

Did I say pursist? I meant plonker.

Results attached....
