Registration and the Race Finish are both at the Cartworth Moor Cricket Club at Cartworth Moor, about one mile south of Holmfirth.
Grid reference is SE 134 067 and (for sat nav. users) the post code is HD9 2TU.
The Race Start SE 133 059 is about half a mile from Registration.
That's a good idea, I might do the same as well:rolleyes:Quote:

hello, here's a selection of photo's from todays race. thanks Jim

What a race!!
I'll freely admit now that I very much doubt I'll do it next year!, as it was way too long for me.
Now if it had been drier/no wind, it might be a different story.
I started to suffer from the top of Holme Moss, & considered packing there (only entered for the experience), but decided to carry on.
Once we got down to Crowden, the energy levels were dropping, & the blisters had gone critical!
I'll also admit that Laddow Rocks scared me!, as one false-footing when climbing & it would certainly have hurt a lot on the way down!
Still, I managed to get back, with plenty of walking, to the finish - which was the main thing, in (according to my watch) 4.00:38
Now I find, that I can't walk downstairs properly, as my Achilles Tendons have siezed up
I look forward to the official results with interest though.
Richard (Asquith)
I hope you didn't take that shot of me, as I tried to gather enough residual strength to open my sandwich at the Cricket Club
Well done everybody!!, for a mad days racing!
My dippy so called better half went and lost her phone FOR THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR, she thinks during the race.
A long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has found it? It would be good to get a rest from the ear bashing I've got since I got home.
I'm just sore cos she beat me. Again.
What a race! Yes i agree about 6 miles too long for me too! The water at the top of the big climb was most welcome!
Thanks to all the organisers!
The Noor was 4th - brilliant!
I think that's a race that I'm glad I've done so I can say I've done it, and not go back! Sorry! Really well organised, but I ran out of steam big style.
Really pleased for Karl, he looked strong at Laddow and managed to catch the loads in front I thought maybe top five but that's excellent... Any news on other cvfr runners
A few photos from a wet and windy Crowden are uploading on the link below for anyone that is interested. Looked a tough race in the conditions - particularly the ascent of Laddow Rocks!

Thanks Richard, now I have to wipe tea out of the keyboard http://www.landyownersclub.co.uk/mor...kst-toppie.gifQuote:

Sure I wasn't alone in that and hope you all had a great run too! :)
I also enjoyed most of it. I got to the marshals on the final road and they said "about a mile to go". "Great," I thought "if I can do a ten minute mile I'll beat 3:10". But as it happened my last mile took 12 minutes (on a flat road)!!
I still beat my target time, and just sneaked into the top 100. But it'll take a lot of training until I'm as good on long stuff as I am on the short ones.
On that note, I agree with a few others, it's too long. I'll have a chat with the organisers and see if there's anything they can sort out for next year. :rolleyes::D
Great sandwiches, tea and cake.
It was nice to meet Ernie, and presumably Stagger, in the registration queue.
Great PHOTOS
