White Holme Circular

WHITE HOLME CIRCULAR 12m/1200'

Even though it's the day after the Northern XC champs I really fancy this run.

I feel sure the course must follow the the circular tracks which service the drains up there and which go all the way round the reservoirs. Does anyone know for sure though? :cool:

Summit Inn up to the White House (like the Summit race). Clockwise route rond Warland Drain and White Holme Drain then descend by same route you came up.

A circular route? It can't be mostly downhill can it;)

Thanks Chris this is the forum at its finest, a resource for seeking and sharing race information. That and reading about Alan T's sexual setbacks :D

When we did it last autumn, dominion, I underestimated Stringman's determination to organise a race of it which is the reason why I took us across the bogs rather than round the drain which is the race route.

Should be a good one and I plan to make it my race to come back to racing form in.

Anyone fancy a reccy of it? It's not compulsory and it's not as though there's any navigation issues. Fast or slow as you like.

Any time at a weekend.

Re: White Holme Circular

How about Sunday 21st Jan at 10.30 for a recce, Crowhill and RR? Can do a different day but having spoken to Stringman he can come along on Sun 21st in slight preference to Sat 20th.

Meet at the Summit pub of course. I'll pick you up from your house if you want RR.

Re: White Holme Circular

Hello Peeps!!

To answer a few questions.
White Holme Circular fell race 10-30am start Sunday 28th Jan
The route is a shortened version of my 3 peaks training route from home. It was first run in 1998 (and 1999) from The Gale Inn, with a slightly longer (15 mile) route.

Course map HEREhttp://www.ogdenwater.freeserve.co.uk/

There will be NO marshals, NO checkpoints, NO refresment stations, NO mile markers. It is a serious Winter challenge. You are on your own.

I would really appreciate anyone offering to gather the flags in after the race has done, which will be at about 2-30pm. I'm only flagging the first/last 2 miles. It would save me a load of work on Monday.

Now then.
The book says 1200 ft climb in 12 miles. Please pay attention....

We measured the course with memory map and it came out at 1200 ft.
I wondered how that could possibly be when according to the contours on the map, there's only an 800 ft difference between the Summit Inn (and the canal) and The White House Inn.

It goes up to the WH the same way as the Summit fell race (4m/800'). So I sent the fixture in to the FRA calendar with a profile of 12 miles and 800ft.
It was rejected as it didn't have enough climbing in order to be classed as a fell race (the requirement being so many feet of climb per mile).

I lied and resubmitted it. You have a race. Take it or leave it.

Me and Chris went round the course last Sunday, not hanging around, in 2 and a bit hours. The course is VERY exposed to the wind. By the end we were pretty glad to get back and out of it.
FULL WATERPROOF AND WINDPROOF JACKET AND OVERTROUSERS, HAT AND GLOVES AS STANDARD KIT. NO KIT - NO RUN. NO EXCUSES
PLEASE DO NOT TURN UP WITHOUT THIS KIT AND BE DISSAPPOINTED.

Cheers, and see you on Sunday then,
SM
