Lucky, as when I put my headtorch on, the battery was dying & wouldn't have got me round a longer run.

    Next weeks CTJM? will defo be a recce of this route, leaving Barley car park usual time: Sat 0800(ish!).
    What a pain, I'm off next friday and was planning to go out on Friday and Sunday. This one's thrown me a bit, I suppose I could spend a bit of time with the Xbox and rest my IT band on Friday, or just go out anyway and run through the pain on Saturday. It's ok if I'm not going downhill!

    I think the car park is locked shut at dusk to keep away any 'undesirables'.

    I'm reliably informed that you can squeeze a car out between the bin and the tree!

    Not that i'd be doing that; obviously

    Knowing what some of the locals are like, I can understand!

    The proposed check points are shown below. Maps will be available from Pete Bland Sports.

    Start Car park entrance in Barley Village GR823403
    CP1 Gate beyond trig point GR805418
    CP2 Scout Cairn GR789413
    CP3 Gate to Calf Hill GR779386
    CP4 Wood House Brook-wall/stream GR797385
    CP5 Dam-Upper Ogden Resr. GR807396
    CP6 Fell Gate at Buttock GR807401
    Finish Outside Barley Village Hall GR822402

    Comments on the route are welcome and will be taken into account when considering next year's race.
    Just done a recce of the SBPR plus a few extra climbs up the front, is CP4 the same CP as the Pendle Cloughs CP5? I make the GR797385 as a wall further up the Woodhouse Brook which would mean crossing a few of the new fences and climbing through the newly planted trees?

    I made it further up th'ill as well. Looks like route crosses PC CP5 (the little 'funnel' between the two walls), but I found you don't need to go into the bit with the newly planted trees.

    After the 'funnel', there's a wire fence ahead that rises off to the left. But there is a gap between this fence and the wall on your right.

    Go through this gap, and straight on - by my reckoning. This will see you hit the CP at the wall ahead after a climb up the hill.

    Next, best thing appears to be left at the wall and follow it to the wire fence at which point you can follow that up the hill.

    I veered off a bit at this point - (was too windy to be consulting maps so was doing it from what I'd memorised at the stone shelter on top of Pendle...and badly!), but came back to it and found if you keep the fence on your left (i.e. the side without the newly planted trees), you will eventually come to a gate in a wall from where you can choose from two footpaths (marked with the yellow arrows).

    Follow the one on the right, and you'll drop down just above the dam at the upper reservoir (CP5).

    Is anyone planning to travel to this on Sat. from the Bury/Bolton area? I'm interested in car sharing if you are.

    Anyone on here from Clayton know if entries will be taken on the day?
