How much navigation is required on this, is it mainly quite simple bridleway/footpath type stuff or a bit more complex?
mainly easy but with a tricky 2 -3 miles after said farm through fields/woods etc this was the only time we had to conentrate on navigation.
Does any one know if the LLW is being run the same day again. this makes the cp interesting. I ran in to one two years ago and starting troughing only to find out my cp was 200m down the road
I agree with IDP about the navigation: there is one desperate section down in the south east corner. Navigation on the rest of the route is pretty straightforward.
I reckon it's a great race and well worth doing. I'm planning on doing it.
Cheers Zlod, and thabks to Swimming Dunce for the route description.
What about footwear, standard trail shoes? fell shoes? I was thinking of mizuno wave harriers?
anybody doing it for the first time..i'm sure you'll love it
great waft of fish and chips coming from the village with about 1/3mile to go..great incentive for a sprint finish
I'm hoping to be there, will be the full 33 ... looks like a great run.
Will keep my need to run another ultra in check for the short term!
I'll be doing this, probably 26m route as done the 33 before and fancied a change. Somebody asked earlier, LWR is a week after this year.
