    ooooohhh... this one looks very tempting
    didn't realise it went up to Freeholds Top :thumbup:

    oh, and just while I'm thinking: Hades Hill is pronounced Hay-deez isn't it? I have heard it pronounced Haids...?

    right
    I have successfully negotiated a pass-out on this one :thumbup:
    as this is a "proper" fell race, I will be suitably attired in classic black/white Fell Ponies vest

    Many thanks to Kev and team for the wonderful race, and also ordering that weather, along with fantastic views.
    Kevin congrats on organising your 35th Turnslack, a great achievement.
    Well done to all and thanks again for making such a great day.

    Jeez that was a toughie. Thanks to the organisers for a great race. I'll definitely be back next year. Loved the hosepipe, drinks and sandwiches at the end. Cheers:thumbup:

    thumbs up from me too, well worth the trip from Helsby, great race, felt like a good workout, have to admit the hosepipe was a nice touch, was it holy water? might try and convince our club to have this as a counter

    Re: Turnslack Fell race

    yep, proper fell race indeed - mud, bog & steep climbs/descents
    superbly organised, and loved the church venue, very unusual - not sure why this isn't more common...
    harrymoon - did they sort out the results eventually?
