Yes, third time on the three day for me, supprised to be a bit faster on the trail run today than last year,but had a great battle with Rochdales Stanners......going to have a few beers with the footy tonight so might struggle at Knowle hill .

3 down...! . A bit different as it wasn't 3 fell races and bits of me were aching that don't usually ache after a fell race. Great organisation by Rochdale Harriers and a stirling job by all the marshalls
My thanks to the Brown Cow in Norden (especially for having the Copper Dragon on tap. )
Their's nothing like having races on your doorstep !
No country for old men.
Thanks to Rochdale for a great day on the hills. Well organised, well marshalled and a friendly atmosphere. I'd forgot how tough this one was!
Thanks for the kind words, Phil will be ove rthe moon!
Results here, pics may take a few days.
p.s. to felljunior - i can't work out how to add an Excel attachment to messages sent via this forum. I have sent you a message with instructions on how to get the Excel version in case you need it for the Grand Prix. Many thanks.

Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
Excellent event and great route - proper fun (even got the sheep sh1t under my finger nails to prove it!!)
Ankles took a bit of a battering tho.

Great 3days for me......got a p.b.overall after a poor first days road run.....cheers Rochdale, nice to see a coachload of Birstall runners making the trip.

Just to confirm that the Knowl Hill Fell Race is on Sunday, 12th June, 11am in Norden, Rochdale, 6 miles/1300 ft ascent.
The race is part of the Rochdale Harriers Three Day Event (three 6 milers in 3 days, hilly road, MT and fell). There is no problem with doing just the fell race and entering on the day.
Chip butties will be available in the Brown Cow, Norden, where the registration and presentation also takes place.

I was reading something on the Rochdale Harriers site about this possibly being the last year for the 3 day event. Any truth in that BJ ?Originally Posted by Brummy John

It will depend on whether the current organiser wishes to continue, and if not whether a successor can be found. I think the Knowl Hill Fell Race is safe and will continue for many years to come.
