D'you think I could be mad - planning on running the Trafford 10k the day after this. I figured it's a bit like a two day mountain marathon with an easy second day.

guess it depends how used to such a double your legs are, how fast you run on Sat and what time you expect on Sun.
I have certainly done things the day afer ultras- my orienteering sometimes even improves because I run slower and make fewer mistakes
I'm in for this one again. It's a great race but I always blow up at that Mankinholes and end up stuffing myself with donuts on the way up Stoodley.
I've never gone the same way twice from that golf club down to Castle Street so I agree that the navigation isn't that straightforward. And those climbs up to Heptonstall and top 'o' stairs go on forever. And that one from Midgehole checkpoint. Did I say I liked this one. Slowly changing my mind.

I will be on the climb near Widdop Res taking some pics for Sportsunday. I will take a tin of chocci bics so if you fancy one dip in.
I here a certain Mr Scotney from north of the border may be the man to beat on the day. Was out with a previous winner yesterday who said he won it when it used to be 'proper ard'!!
Chips are NOT for sharing!!
Have a great race and I'll make sure I save you more than a crumb Mr F!
