Three Peaks Fell Race

[Hes]

I'm doing the Fellsman on the same day and will be wearing my INOV8 roclites mainly because I've worn them all winter in snow, mud & bogs and they are more comfortable on long runs than my mudclaws. If it helps, I wore them last year on the 3ps race when it was sunny and dry but also on a recent run of the 3ps when it was wet and boggy and they were very good on both runs. You just need a bit of grip and some shoes that drain well!

Bit worried about all this rain and want some advice on shoes. I'm thinking flippers at the moment!

I'm sticking to Mizuno Wave Harriers, my general purpose shoe for non extreme terrain. Good balance of grip and comfort. I certainly wouldn't want hard studs even in this wet weather.

I've done it twice and can't ever remember being even slightly concerned about navigation.

Can't help with converting co-ordinates, though.

[Jez Hellewell]

I'm with Hes. Worn my Roclite 312's for most long races & they are a perfect mixture of grip, comfort & cushioning. Worn them for the last two 3 P's. (not the same ones !)

Glad you've put that Rich' as I'll be wearing my Harriers too,the only trouble is with them they let in water like no other shoe I've ever worn,they also dry out like.......
Looking forward to Saturday!!!!

As no-one has mentioned the route change at the top of Penyghent can I assume everyone has taken it on board or is there going to be complete chaos as everyone goes the wrong way?
and dont forget hat and gloves which are now mandatory

They should have adopted that route yonks ago. Its not much of a change anyway - follow the wall after the trig towards Plover Hill for what 500 yards and then swerve to the left

I have a red hat and gloves for total rule compliance

I went up Monday night to have a look Stolly and missed the swerve to the left and ran to the stile at the next wall so had to backtrack. I assume in reality we will be cutting the corner as the map supplied on the website suggest a sharp left just before the stile but I could not see a path there?
