Oh dear. Now there's a dilemma: soccer or fell run...

Soccer? Isn't that some sort of Brazilian dance? Might be marginally useful for training I suppose. Excuse me now, I've got to got to bed. Race on in the morning.

just back from recceing the last bit (that I didn't do last time) from Broadhead Clough up/down Cragg Vale and in to the end
very glad I did
lots of scope for going wrong
particularly impressed by the number of house gardens you find yourself swanning through
oh, and the "hidden stile" in the holly bushes - genius!

[Alan Greenwood]

The tricky bit into Lord Wood and the hidden stile in the holly bushes will be way marked as will several other bits in the second half as they have been for the past few years. No way marking in the first half. The house owners through whose garden you go do know you are coming. It is of course a right of way. There could be a nasty collision if someone steps out of their front door. Generally residents are welcoming. Hope you might have been impressed by the amount of gardening we have done this year. Cannot guarantee we got every bramble and holly bush but got most.
Broadhead Clough is a site of special scientific interest and the Yorkshire Wildlife Trust volunteers mainly courtesy of Helen Pedley who lives there have done their best to drain the path.
Hope you and the rest of the forumites have a good day

You know we will Alan - we always do, thanks to you & your team. Hope you haven't fixed the muddy trenches through the woods, or the greasy setts - they're the best bits!

Hope you all av a good un, I'm out, back to physio on the morning of the run. Going to try to nip over for the finish though.

[Splatcher]

Good chance I won't make it either, but I'll run if I can. Having an ultrasound scan on my hip on the Tuesday.

Haha that makes sense - I also went out and had a look at the second bit of the route which I don't know and was struck by how many of the holly bushes had been trimmed back. Being a bit daft I didn't associate this with the Hebden and just thought Calderdale was home to lots of keen Christmas wreath makers etc etc. I found the route finding quite tricky in parts but the fact I was going past so many trimmed holly bushes is reassuring... and indicates I wasn't too far off the right tracks.

Hope to see you at the finish Steve, get that knee sorted.

If anyone else is unable to take part can they also let the organisers know as I know a few on the waiting list who would like to take part.
