I've just noticed - full results now out on the Hebden website. http://www.alangreenwood.biz/hvh/index.html

Excellent event, well organised and what a challenging course for navigation (even though i went round most beforehand i still found new bits!). One for next yr i think.

Good to see so many of you yesterday. Very enjoyable, though definitely tough ... my legs reminded me that I haven't done any big mileage for a couple of months. Half way through I decided to switch allegiance from FRA to LDWA. This was around the point when, though 'running', I was overtaken by a walker. And it wasn't uphill.
Anyone know (roughly) what the ascent was?

This event goes from Mytholmroyd and covers 22 miles and over 4000ft.
It's open to walkers and runners. Could fit in with New Year resolutions!

Get some down your neck, if you want to beast Ozz i think you'll have to catch him first. 3h 42mins was it, feckin eck Fraid i can't make next saturday as i'm tied up with kids for the day. Earning brownie points with our lass. Deffo for the Haworth Hobble though, so much to do, too many kids. Love em to bits though Don't sleep in tomorrow and forget to take the dog to the vets

On my Fugawi package, i make 5340ft of assent, the most assent of any of the LDWA ones I've done. It's still no excuse though for spending half hour - buns, tea adn getting your feet up, at each check point....or is it me that's loosing the plot??

They'll be enough left over to beat you Disco!

Nice one mate, look forward to it.
Must've tired you out, we missed you saturday night.
We had a good laugh and i couldn't stand by the end of the night.

Is this not true

If Chris B is right with his figure of 5340ft, then the official stat ("over 4000 ft") is also correct. But it's also misleading. "Over 5000ft" would have given my legs better advance notice of what I was about to put them through.

And well done Chris for your placing! 8th!
That recce must have paid off in the end. Did you manage to get revenge on the cow that attacked you?
