Heptonstall Recce 29th Jan

In the light of the new era of openness on the forum I have replaced my avatar with one that's really of me. Mind you, I look a lot more like the old one these days:

Those that have seen me run will know my avatar thingy is an uncannily accurate representation of my running 'style' (more the antithesis of syle really...) I'm happy to go with 9am too btw.

DEFINITLEY A 09.00am START - by popular demand

See you at 08.50 fo a 09.00am start outside White Lion pub, Heptonstall (map is on this site www.heptonstallfellrace.org.uk)

There is a shed behind pub where you could leave a bag with warm clothes to avoid delaying your pint / free food at the end

Careful where you park (centre of village is regaularly ticketed) best place is probably at top of cobbles beyond the school

Good to see a few forumites "unmasked" at The Hebden today

How did you all get on??

Hi Trig, you PM'd me last week about a recce. Ran yesterday didn't feel too bad, can I be down as a maybe please. I'd like to see how I'm doing come the end of the week. If I'm not there at the agreed time, I'm either not coming or lost on my way. Either way don't hang around for me.
What sort of pace will it be run at?

Would be great to see you (don't forget its now a 08.50 for 09.00am start)

I reckon we will have over 20 running; there ought to be Medium and Steady groups, we also have at least one guide who can get round at speed, for any strong ruuners looking for a sub 2.15-30 round. Medium will be around 2.30-3hrs. Steady 3.30. Although it could be tempting to cut short at 10 miles for some.

Not sure what the weather will be doing so; bring your full fell running gear (plus water and gel/energy food).
I might print off some maps, just in case, for anyone who needs to head back/bail out. Will confirm on this strand.

See you Sunday

Pete F is going to do an 'Early Bird' run at the original time of 8am if that's better for any one. Meet at the White Lion as per the other arrangements.

[Trig]

Could be interesting; Pete F is likely to be medium/steady pace. In theory the fast 09.00am group could catch an 08.00 start. Hare and hound training.

Main groups are still due to meet 08.50 for 09.00.

Anyone seen a weather forecast?
