Good race count for June Joey. Great debut season on the fells - I'm impressed! How many have will you done?

Thanks Trig. My first taste of the fells was the Yorkshireman Half last September; that led to the Stoop and Rivock Edge before Christmas. I've done about a dozen or so races in 2011 so far (with a good few on the horizon as well.) A good part of the reason I've taken part in so many stemmed from you, Mark and other chaps from Heptonstall being so friendly on the first Heptonstall recce/race. So thanks! Truth be told, before that first recce I'd been quite nervous about 'stepping up' to fells from the roads (even though I'd done the Yorkshireman). Now I've got a degree of confidence I'm really enjoying the different challenges of all the different types of races there are out there. So many hills and mountains - so little time :D.
Cheers,
Jo
Oh - and it is Bridestones isn't it?

Here you go then! Where's that?
Boulsworth Hill?
Slightly difficult to get a sense of scale but it looks a bit like Lower Gorple Stones (I think called Dicken Rocks on OS maps). Having said that it may be nowhere near an I may not have a clue what I'm taking about.

The route in and out of the village will be different on race day (private land not to be used on recces - maps at registration)
Any thoughts on this latest route?
