What's the latest you can send off an entry & it still be accepted?
I'm umming and ahhing about this one...
Next Wednesday
Stop faffing!
Well I got my entry in the post today :)
I hope the route out of and back into Haworth is clearer on the ground than in the route description! Some of those grid refs look a bit suspect...
Unless your out in front, they'll be plenty of folk to follow, you'll be fine, enjoy it, its a good route;)Quote:

I did the event a few years ago, when it started from somewhere slightly different, my main memory is of Hepstonstall...
Heptonstall, Top o't Stairs, Penistone Hill, fairly straightforward on the way back, plenty of walkers did it last year, sure you'll not be totally alone, best of luck and have a good un;)Quote:

Nah, it was easy last year, listening to your mate Russ, without him it will be a slog;)Quote:

Got my number this morning thanks Brett
No 716, I hope there isn't that many running! early Start for me.
Weather doesn't look promising
Maybe not 716 runners, but looks like the best part of 300!Quote:

Shame it's not today as it'd have been ideal. BBC forecasting heavy rain :eek: We'll be okay :cool:
Funny, the forecast I've been seeing (BBC weather) has said only light rain. I don't think it'll be that bad.
Anything is better than hot and sunny
the weather in this country changes its mind like the wind
Hmmm!!!!!!:(Quote:

Noticed BBC web has downgraded threat of heavy rain to light. Just been sorting my kit out and have Gore-tex jacket ;) Off to find some fish and chips now for lunch:D
Got my Helly Hansen windbriefs, no chilly willy for me tomorrow;)Quote:
