The Hebden

Merino base-layer, heavy polypropylene thermal (thicker than a Helly and brushed inside) and probably OMM smock for me. Wool socks, thickest tights, decent gloves , a couple of Buffs and a hat (obviously! ). See you tomorrow

I was thinking more along the lines of shorts, the purple Fell Pony vest, and half a tub of nipple cream.

I may reconsider.

If I had my way all runners would be tested for traces of dripping on there lips, chins, fingers etc and anyone 'failing' the test should be sent back round to complete the challenge properly :thumbup:

The latest bulletin from Mr Greenwood:
The Hebden – Weather Friday 19.00
We had a dull day in Mytholmroyd with no snow until 4.00pm but with very cold winds. Since 4.00pm it has snowed but not heavily and the snow is very fine and over a period of 3 hours left a coating of about 1 inch at valley level. There will probably be more snow at higher levels. It continues to snow with the same light flurries. We have been able to access all our checkpoints except CP4 where we have made arrangements with a friendly resident to get us up there. All the bus routes are currently free of snow and I saw several gritters on my journey home So in accordance with our earlier statement we have set up the hall to start the event as planned at 8.00am.
It cannot be emphasised enough that the wind is extremely cold and sufficient clothing should be carried or worn to keep you warm in case of emergency. There are some areas with ice which could be dangerous if you are not taking care but in general it should be soft virgin snow.
Have an enjoyable day. Hopefully if the forecast is correct the snow will clear during Saturday.
