Gladiators and Swoops are perfect for the 3 peaks - little bit of cushioning, just enough grip and lightweight.

Wore Terrocs last year. Will be Mizuno Harriers this year if its as dry as last year !:confused:
Did I say that?Quote:

Hi All,
Myself and 2 others from here are intending to meet up on the morning of 15th March and do the 3 Peaks as a recce run. We did it 2-3 weeks ago and got mixed up between coming off Penyghent to Ribblehead and I think we went up Whernside slightly wrong. As such if anyone can make this date and knows the route really well, it would be great to have you along.
Paul:rolleyes:
I hope all you recce fanatics realise that the direct route up Whernside should only be used in the race itself.

Chris. Envelope.
Anybody up for a training run tomorrow (Friday)? Thinking of doing a couple of peaks, W+I from Ribblehead.
Time to suit before 3.00pm as I have a date with a few pints of carbs at 7.30!!
Sent my entry off yesterday hopefully I'm not going to miss out like I did at edale
Is anyone considering doing a recce on Sunday 5th March? If I can get the day clear, I'm looking at starting from Horton about 10-10:30.
How much of the route are you thinking of doing, all of it? Also do you mean Sunday 4th March?Quote:

I'm looking at doing all of it. I have walked in the area a few times in the past couple of years but I'm a little unsure of some parts of the route.

On second thoughts I'd miss out Penyghent since the route will be marked and the field will still be together at that stage.

I won't be able to come up on Sunday as I need to get back to Essex by 4pm. It's a shame as it's the only decent chance I could get before the race.
Mark
Could someone briefly describe the route betwen PYG and Ribblehead? I can't seem to get the map that ws posted earlier to work.
Also, is this one you have to do a recce for, do you reckon?
:)

The legit way up Whernside is obvious but what about getting from the Penyghent path to the Ribble Way if that's disallowed?
PS My planned reccie this Sunday is now off. The lurgy that I thought I was just getting over has come back again. :(
I'm pretty sure you can go where you like round this area (although someone please correct me - I know you will) as its open access land - However at some times of the year you cant take a dog (for lambing and grouse I think) but you can wander where you like.Quote:

I've mentioned this before but we should write our forum names on our numbers, cheap and easy way of being noticed !!!:rolleyes:
I've got a 'daleside' beer bar towel, perhaps I'll fashion it into some kind of running tunic!
Stringman made a load of name tags last year, he may be just as keen this year.
yOu just have to make sure you dont wear a helly hanson, NOUH. ;)
