Re: Leg It Round Lathkil?
Nice race did it last year. Starts at the pub and heads off down the road, steepish downhill but still on the road. The path through the dale starts off easy enough but further up it does get a bit rocky and slippy underfoot. Over the river and uphill, from here its generally across fields (with a little bit of road), I remember this being fairly muddy. A gradual downhill through the fields, nothing difficult. Then along the river again (easy track) and a climb through fields to the finish. I wore my fell shoes last year and probably will again, the limestone was slippy(ish) and the fields were muddy(ish).
Enjoy!
Re: Leg It Round Lathkil?
Yes thanks - I enjoyed this fast blast down the dale and across the fields in sunny limestone country yesterday. Incredibly the race was won by a V50, Steve Oldfield.

Nice litte race - did it instead of Roaches, which I was planning to do but then went down with a bad cold on Friday and decided to be sensible(ish) and do something a bit more benign. Lots of 'first timers' there, and a big crew from dahn south - what was really funny was the way half the pack stopped dead at the top of the steep tarmac slope about 100m after the start - I don't think they were used to slidey tarmac! Great beer afterwards.

Not incredible at all. Steve Oldfield won races as a V40 and a V45 so why not as a V50?

The same thing happened to me. I'd intended to do the Roaches but had been struggling with a cold, so it was nice to do this one instead.
Yes - the beer was good as well, will certainly be visiting that pub again!
