I might be being daft but I can't see an address on there thats where I'd looked

[Stagger]

Its in the FRA fixtures calander. I looked on the web but could not find an address.

[detritus21]

This is where my problem lies I still haven't sent my form for my FRA membership (I know I'm slow but also skint) hence can't find the address. When funds allow I shall be sending it but will still have to wait for my calender hence asking on here

There are contact details for the organiser on the Ambleside website - telephone and email.

So, with a week to go, I thought I'd ask if anyone has any advice for my first Fairfied (have walked it many times, but never tried to tackle it at speed).

Think I can picture the intended route (thankyou Ambleside AC website). The run to the finish looks a toughie!!

It's one of the toughest 800m's I've ever done along that track, hitting the wall twice along it before now. Every year I always promise I'll go back and do a few fast reps of it so come the race it wont feel so bad. Not much time left.

It is a fabulous route though, lots of little line choices rather than major route choices, but they all add up to save a bit of time.

Thanks for that, I can't say I'll be too hot on the choice of line, I'll be pleased to get round without twisting my ankle AGAIN.
What is the likely shoe choice here??

Any that you feel comfortable running flat out down hill for half the race in!
Did it in Flyrocs 310's last weekend and were fine. Will wear mudclaws on day though, more confident rock-hopping in them.

Would appreciate hints/tips regarding when to cross walls etc to avoid nasty bits.............................
