Calderdale Hike

[stevefoster]

Is anyone planning to do this one on 18th April? If so, anyone interested in a couple of recces over Easter weekend involving a bit of car shuttling?

The Anniversary Waltz is on the 11th (a week earlier than usual this year), the hike a week later.

Same here mate, don't know any of the route

Is there a specific route you should follow or is it just get yourself to the listed checkpoints asap?

I ask as there are a few places where the fastest way is tarmac but the more scenic way is off road.

There is no fixed route between checkpoints but where there is tarmac or a track, that is usually the fastest route. If you are not bothered about time then take the scenic route.

Do you regard waist-deep in bog as scenic?

I'll be looking to get out for some reccies over the next couple of months. If I can actually plan them in advance, I'll post on here!!

Cool cheers for that. Think 37 miles is enough without going the scenic route on top of that!

I and one other have pencilled in Good Friday and Saturday (10 & 11 April) for recces. Not confirmed yet but strong possibilities.

I've promise to do this one, I only hope I can recover in time for the following week and the PPP (and the DF)

Me too Ian, and you're a lot fitter than me
