    Wonder what the hill will throw at us this year.
    Last year bad mist constant rain and freezing conditions
    Year before a blizzard.

    Maybe we are due a heatwave.

    I get lost when I recce it!! nevermind on the day! Had a great run first time, nightmare last year though between cp 7 & 8!

    good run up there today - missed 2 climbs first because it was quite clear which way we should so so thought saving the legs would be a better decision and the second we missed as it's in the field we aren't supposed to go in - so we didn't

    Got some good advice from a runner from Horwich that we bumped into going up the ramp - he took a shortcut! Showed us the right route down from the mast then checkpoints 8 onwards. Very handy compass info given - thanks Graham you were a star

    Eeeek which field shouldn't we be going in on recce runs???

    And I wouldn't take too much advice from the Horwich lads!
    If I remember rightly Pikes advice last year was to follow the red shirts, funny as invented his own little addition to the course!

    Now known as the Hayes loop at the club!
