Holme Moss

[crowhill]

Hi Crowhill, I have been in the Quays pub in Galway,very nice it was.
We are going to be around the Dingle peninsula this time. Having a climb up Mt. Brandon which I believe is the highest one in the area.
You and Mrs Crowhill doing Holme Moss ?? it is a counter this year.

Any luck with a number for Borrowdale yet ??

Toying with the idea of Holme Moss - it's a top race, so it's tempting.
No luck with Borrowdale number yet .

Enjoy your trip - hope you get some decent walking weather, cheers.

It's a much longer race this year and the finish will be much harder
back up to Cartworth Moor cricket club after descending from Holme Moss!

I'm not likely to be doing it "flat out" if I make it. Just making most of chance to get three hours or so in on the hills.

Having looked at past results and realising it longer this year make that four hours lol

Will I be able to get hold of a map on the day?

[grimmer]

There's a route map on the website to download and print - don't know if the organisers will allow this for navigation on the day though?

[mxhornet]

I hope so as that's what I intended using !! Though I'll have my OL1 with in case.

Phew...
That turned into a bit of a grueller. How was it for you?

Many thanks to Holmfirth Harriers, the organisers, the marshalls and what a great spot to base the race - must be the highest cricket pitch in Yorkshire!
Well organised, they even laid on extra water at checkpoints for us sweating, hot and very bothered runners (well, I ran some of the time!). We had it bad both ways really, clear skies and sun with very heavy going underfoot. Still, I suppose it beats getting the compass out...

Right, these dogs need a good walk now having been in all day...

Thanks to Holmfirth Harriers for a well organised event. Somehow you arranged for summer to return so it was pleasant to sit about chatting to mates after the race. I did not appreciate the heat while running but the water at the various checkpoints was most welcome. It certainly felt a long way back to the finish.
