lets wait and see what happens on a propa fell race course at the fra at ambleside and we will see what happens at grasmere this year ;):p
You set off to quick and i just have to shuffle past you on the uphill. Who would of thought it top 15 at the mo. You just know you cant beat me you should just join me at the start and set off slower.Quote:

They send us through the trees its a short lung buster. My power comes with the ability to just run up all the hill which is why i pass scott keeling over
How long before you can run as a senior?Quote:

Could anyone tell me what the race route is like, is it on a track or steep fellside? How much is runnerable?
Its all runable Hemster, but dont be under the illusion its easy as its got a fast pace and quite tough terrain to negotiate it was very wet and boggy.Quote:

Think of it as an upside down hilly cross country.
All the climbing comes at the start and all the descending atthe end - the mileage is made up on the top of the hill.
I would even say you could run it in spikes:eek:
Thnx for that info the route looks like a good contrast to the steep up and down of the anniversary wa route!
Lets hope the weather holds out. :)
Advice given all sounds good. What age category are you in as that makes a difference. As Scott says its all runnable although WP would have you think that all the uphill is just at the beginning it isnt as its Its basically uphill all the way onto the moor and then depending on age cat its either a wet loop or two or straight back down.Quote:

Looked at the map and it looks like i just do 1 loop and then straight back down.Quote:

When i worked at Lambson's Chemicals in Castleford we used to have a machine called the swamp monster which sat in the middle of a bog it had created, now and again someone had to brave the green ooze to fix it. It used to just sit there and gurgle, periodically spueing out steam and condensate to refill the bog and keep the flies happy.Quote:

As CCR says; unlikely to dry out underfoot.
More rain for seniors in the afternoon - shame. ;)
