Rivington Pike

[Al Fowler]

I went for a recce today but i only walked it because i was with my faimily.....but i walked up the opposite side of the fell as thats closer to my house than round the other side. I got an idea of what the fells like but i have no idea what the start of its like. I still dont really know where to start from as i dont know horwich. Does anyone know what the pubs called that we have to register at, and even better....what the postcode is so i can put it into the sat-nav so i can find it on the day.

Pub is called the Crown hotel.

You get your number from The Crown Hotel.It's at 1 Chorley New Road,Horwich,BL6 7QJ at the junction with Crown Lane.It's just a short walk round to the start at Lever Park Ave by the war memorial.

I did a trail run today and got a time a full minute slower than last year

Mind you my legs are a year older.

Time for some emergency training methinks.

Do a few reps up and down Wood Lane - you'll be alright .

Could anybody tell me where the junior races are run from, we've never done this race before..

Just entered online for this short jaunt, didn't fancy the 160 mile round trip to Stair or the bogs of Fiensdale so Rivi Pike it is.

Junior races go from the track above the school - the one that forks left from the seniors route when you have passed the school.

Many thanks for that but I need to know what school and what road it's on so I can use a route finder.
