Hi All - Add me to the list for the 4th April if i'm reading things correctly here datewise.

My entry form went in yday for this one so any parts of the course i can recce in advance are good for me.

Any car sharing bits req then just let me know - I'll be travelling over from Ripon so if it makes sense re: pickups etc. then as i said just put a post on here to advise.

BritNick - On a competely sep thread. Hope u got my email re: my avail for the Calderdale recce's we'd pencilled in for 10th/11th April (Good Friday & the Saturday). I'm good to go re: this also.

Cheers

Mark...

I meant Yarnbury in my previous post, not Capplestone Gate.
I've put 4th April in my diary for the recce.

Hi Mark, got your message. That's in my diary too.

Hi all

I'm doing this in 2009. Entries truly have gone mad. Website says limited space on floor at Threshfield and they reckon the 450 limit will be reached. There will also be a kit check on the Friday evening to make Saturday at Ingleton easier. Love to recce Fleet Moss to Cray, but can't get north before the event. Have fun!

A couple of us did a slightly spur of the moment recce of Fleet Moss to Buckden Pike yesterday.
We'd managed to borrow a mate's map which had quite detailed bearings, and as the clagg came down we were very grateful for it. Spent alot of time with our heads down, walking on bearings.
I reckon it would be possible without a recce etc, but you would end up put extra miles on as you would have to rely on obvious handrail features rather than taking more direct lines.

Do you have a copy of the bearings?

i'm at work at present but I'll PM you the important ones, I'll have to write a bit of text to explain them. Bear with me.

Whats a Dark Peaker doing in London!!!

Ah, a Dark Peaker in London you say. Well it's where I live. I read "Feet in the Clouds" a couple of years ago and decided to try hilly running. Then I thought I'd join a club. There's nothing local so I went for the area I know well and did all my early hill-walking. The kit is unusual as well! You must have read my accounts of the Isle of Wight Fell series and Box Hill in the club magazine.

If I could I would do more, but two young nippers mean other responsibilities. But I am coming up for the Fellsman although I'll be walking it with some jogging downhill.

cheers

Hi

I'd like to join the reccee on 4th please, if girls are permitted?

I'd be travelling up for the weekend so if anyone is up for a reccee of an extra section on the Sunday that would be good.

I'm also planning a trip up on 14th March - I don't really want to do the same bit twice - have you decided which section you're doing?

Finally, I have the Harvey Yorkshire Dales map but it looks like the south west section goes off the edge before Dent. I don't have any coordinates - can anyone help me sort out where the route goes please? Hard to reccee without this.

Stef

Hi Stef,

You will need the Harveys Dales South and Dales West maps to cover the whole route. If you are planning a recce of the section before Dent then its from Ingleton, Ingleborough Summit, Hill Inn(Chapel le Dale), Whernside Summit, Kingsdale(next to Yordas wood), Gregareth summit, Great Coum then to Dent.
