Will,
have a look at the Grindleford Gallop. 12th March. Not an FRA race (although apparently it used to be?) so not in the calendar. Approx 21 miles and 3500ft climb. Depending on who's GPS you read. I've seen it recorded as much higher but it isn't. More of a heavy duty trail race than out and out fell but a damn good blast nonetheless.

I have missed out on the Skyline with an awol entry form :-(
I was also looking at the Calderdale Hike for a mid-April option.
Thanks Simon, wasn't aware of that race. I'll enter that next week if if fits in with shifts at work. Start a new job on Monday so not been able to commit to any races yet, thats why I missed the Skyline.Quote:

Where is everyone?
in past years there has been a race map for sale - anyone know if this will be the case again this year?
Try NobThrob, no this isn't a physical condition NT is the map maker.Quote:

Better go and do some training then...:wink:
Could some kind sole copy and paste the names here? Haven't got a facebook account and really don't want one if I can help itQuote:

Bizarrely looking forward to this one! More so for Kirsten, who's going to have to run well to meet the cut-off, though she is well capable of doing so. Did a recce last Sunday and I don't fancy those frozen conditions on the day...it felt like 19 miles of tarmac running!
Had a look at the down and up....hmmm, depends on my training between now and then. The down is not my sort of descent, rough and tussocky (unless someone's going to tell me there's a better line - basically came down on the left hand edge of the trees), but the up is fine, if a little daunting after that distance! But boy, oh boy, is it ever a long way back and around the top!
Reccied the whole route on Saturday in quite poor conditions - for fun, as am not in. Won't be any records broken if it's like that on the day. (Apart from number of no-shows.)
I am going to have a run around the second half Friday morning if anybody is interested
Anyone doing a recce this coming weekend 5th or 6th March?
Myself and a friend are doing a recce on Sunday, just the first half, but it will be fairly slow, as I expect to be near the back of the pack come race day, as I haven't managed to get any sensible mileage in. For fairly slow make that exceedingly slow.
Will probably be at Edale about 9:00, send a PM if you're interested to arrange.
Cheers Sponge Bob??!! Can I let you know nearer the time as I was hoping to do the whole route and have a couple of mates interested but they're away skiing for a couple of days. Thanks for the offer either way.Quote:

I'm now very very excited, although weather like yesterday on race day would be very much appreciated!
Hi Rach, we were out on the second half around lunchtime but no walshes between us.
The most glorious day imaginable, life just doesn't get better than that.
I did second half yesterday in my Walshes! finished around 12.30ish so it might have been me. Brilliant conditions, it was a joy being up there.Quote:
