    Cheers to all who turned out today given the conditions.Top route around unfamiliar territory for me. It's gonna be a tough event for sure.
    Soup was excellent and much needed at the end.

    Possibly the most persistent cold ever! If traditional cures have failed I think we need to get you into see the local Hebden Bridge witch doctors (can you ask em to do something about the weather while you're there?)
    Next Sunday is looking like a possibilty for further recces (not so good for the following 2 weeks).
    What about doing a few light hill reps this week?

    Hiya Steve,
    Are you planning any more recces other than Sundays at all? Only reason I ask is we're doing PBW recces the next few Sundays so wouldn't be able to make any Heptonstall ones. No probs if not - I'm sure we'll be able to muddle our way round!
    It's looking busy over there with the Hebden LDWA event, the PBW, then the Wadsworth trog - so much running, so little time!!

    Well done to Trig for organising such a great recce last Monday for the Heptonstall fell race on the 18th March, an excellent way to spend a manhood shrinkingly cold January morning ; - 0

    Suggest everyone gets this in their diary, it's going to be epic!

    Great to finish in the white Lion with crackling open fire and hot soup to restore us all – hope that will be the same on race day?

    Took some pics on the way round… http://flic.kr/s/aHsjxPC7or

    Definitely up for more recces (very useful for our race planning and always an enjoyable 3 hours on the hills)
    I can do this Sunday 8th Jan, then 29th Jan, 4th March. What do you reckon??? Could be a good to make it a social - the pub is always up for providing free soup and somewhere to store gear. Might worth putting it together as club do??
    PS Im dong all those races too so looks like I'll see you at the Hebden...
