Heptonstall Festival Recce

[martmason]

Great stuff Mart - we normally do a 7am start then do about 10-12 miles - steady pace 2 hours/may be 2 and half if we re having fun.
Won't be massive - often just 3 or 4 of us - if you PM a mobile to me I will sms tonight with the definite.

Good route maybe Heptonstall - Midge Hole - High Brown Knoll - (ie Festival route) then do a big chunk of last weeks reservoir bogs route (I've still got the map) before returning to HBK and back down festival route.

Anyone else fancy that - FStien? CharlieB?

Sent you a PM.

Heard a good tip for Saunders last night. Cut down on weight do and away with thermarest: use party-modelling balloons - just pop em in the morning (but avioid camping on thistles)

still looking at recces next week
Thurs/Friday evenings 19.00 for 19.15 start start at White Lion Heptonstall

FRIDAY is likely to best as we could all have a pint at the end?

All welcome - anyone fancy either??

I'll check the diary for the Heptonstall recces Trig. Did you sign up for Borrowdale in the end? If you did (or even if you didn't) do you fancy a trip up to recce the route/parts of the route in a couple of weeks? If anyone else reading the thread fancies a recce round Borrowdale too, pop up a message on here :-)

I may be doing another recce of this tomorrow if anyone fancies it? Probably 19:30 start.

Any chance of 19.00???

[martmason]

Sorry Trig not going to be able to make either the recce's or the race as my ankle is cabbaged and is demanding complete rest despite my best efforts.:angry:

None I'm afraid.On second thoughts I may run up over to Stoodley Pike instead, my last four runs have all taken in High Brown Knoll via one route or another.
