A handful of runners from Idle A C (Bradford) will be taking a steady run round 3 or 2 peaks at a 6 hour pace. All welcome on the run and probably in a pub afterwards! Meet over the bridge on LHS for a 9 am start on Saturday 2 April.

I'm planning a recce next monday (28th) - when I did the same this time last year there was stilll snow on the tops (particularly tricky on PYG), does anyone know if they are clear of snow now?
Clear of snow last week.
Thanks, having just cycled to work in shorts and a T shirt today in 18 degrees (Hull) my question suddenly seems a bit daft!! I guess I'll need sunnies and sunscreen rather than crampons...
Hiya Tony, sorry i'm having to cancel, my car's going to the garage on the second!! i'll be doing a full recce this weekend though

go play on the m 6, now, how does that sound
I trotted round last week. Conditions are great out there. I took some advice from a pal and started at Ribblesdale and ran staight to Whernside, then did Ingleborough with Pen-y-ghent last. That way you can grab a drink and leave your kit in the car. This is my first time and my biggest worry is the rocky bits on the descents.
You've no need to worry mate, for the most part it's no more rocky than the rougher parts of Ilkley moor and you coped fine with that on Rombalds. Remember to keep your feet fast and you won't go far wrong. You'll be fine.
I'm more worried about blowing up halfway round as usual
Had a bit of a run out yesterday from Ribblehead up Whernside by the tourist route, then took the race route down and over to Ingleborough and back by Simon Fell and Park Fell. Its very dry underfoot atm and I reckon my shoes were cleaner after finishing than when I set off. The descent off Park Fell is great!
