    Whernside race recce Tues 25th

    Going up to do a full or partial recce on Tuesday, very steady if anyone fancies tagging on.

    Ady you can't make Sunday morning instead can you? Your weirdo hours and running mid-week never seem to co-incide with my 'normality'. I was planning on running either this or a Pen y Ghent, Park Fell, Simon Fell, Ingleborough circuit on Sunday first thing.

    Sunday??? - who gets out on a Sunday

    If you run the race route post up any tips. I understand the last section will be flagged. Have looked at the route map and the run in deviates from the normal path and cuts across to Condor farm but there seem to be a lot of walls around. Looks a cracking route, are you doing the race Stolly?

    I'm not sure about the race but I'm keen to do a good run out of Dent and in particular go over Great Coum - the descent off of which looks totally off piste from my map but, you never know, there may be a path. Going up and off the Kingsdale side of Whernside first will be a bonus.

    And as for Dom's run on Thursday morning, I'm working Thursday as well as Tuesday funnily enough..... and I've used up all my holiday

    Yeah I'm only jealous Stolly and would love to go, but I've not a lot of holiday either

    Not fit enough for the race but it was on my 'to do' list so a recce would have made up for it?

    There's a faint grassy path which I found,lost and found again on this week's recce.It seems to run pretty much from wall corner to corner. Great descent off Whernside to Kingsdale Rd.Well worth the effort.
