its a new run replacing a older run i think. looking at the rough draft its a good looking route with plenty of rolling wolds and some pictureque looking dales i'd say its more a hilly trail race than a full on fell race as there'll be a bit of farm land to cross.there saying runners start at 12 and a 22hr limit so it could be a head torch job .i'll be as its local for me.
Is there a link for it Alf??Quote:

Good evening Alf
I did the old woldsman course a few years ago from a transport cafe in Beverley. If the new course is anything like the old one, it's definitely not a fell race. There were some hills in it, but it was mostly on farmland around field edges and a couple of disused railway lines. But it was a very pleasant run and well organized.
Cheers Dude. I thought as much , i used to live in the area and reckon it'll use the wolds etc. Although these aren't steep , 50 miles of them is a tough run/walk.
emm , im still not looking at this thread
I just saw you peeking!!.............................Quote:
