    Was good to keep seeing you, Stolly and others, hopefully be in for next year

    After missing last year, I'll be there again, Adnan! Hopefully, with fewer extra miles, you'll be way ahead of me this time.

    4. From Buckden Pike to the finish (as most people do this in the dark).

    Disclaimer! Some of these may include sections that are not on public rights of way and the organisers ask people not to reccie at all prior to race day.

    Ingleton to Dent is a lovely run, but you're unlikely to get lost there on race day.
    I'd agree with 1 - 4 above. Especially the route off Dodd Fell down to Fleet Moss, I never seemed to get it right and always ended up in some sort of a quagmire.

    Haha the route off Dodd Fell is 'great'. The trod disappears into a quagmire a couple of times and can be tricky to pick up again. I 'think' me and Hester got a good line this year

    I paid £50 for the last event - that included sleeping at the school on the Friday evening (which works quite well, very large sports hall). Guess there will be a modest increase for 2016. Really fantastic value as the checkpoint food is top notch.

    My plan is to not fall over again on Ingleborough summit and have to retire at Kingsdale checkpoint. Rather annoying.......but maybe saved me from the later weather suffer-fest.
