Almost - you should be fine in roadies or trail shoes as the weather report is OK.Originally Posted by Stagger
A word of warning though. DON'T RUN IN FELL SHOES!
Slick trails or grippy roads will do the trick nicely
But the top half can be tricky in the wet or snow which sometimes happens especially when Easter Saturday is early, so always have your fell shoes handy just in case!
SNOW!
WP dont be scaring the good people
The difference in height between the start and finish is 700 feet according to Google Earth.
I will be there hurling abuse at the runners, and making very loud inspiring (probably more like disturbing) noises, alp d'heuz style

Setting off shortly for darkest Lancashire. If it's like Alp d'Huez does that mean the spectators push you up the hill if you're struggling

Will be leaving shortly myself. Lovely sunny day here and quite warm.
Good Luck everyone, see you there!

Results up - A Hope 1-2 again - well done Tom a decent 3rd place in your first fell race for a while.
Enjoyed this no end this afternoonNice to catch up with Swoop (socially, if not in the race!) and good to meet DazTheSlug and Pinno for the first time. Oh and thanks for the encouragement from Disco Stan, who quite rightly pointed out this was 'about 30miles too short for you mate'!
