Blimey,

All this talk of shortcuts and cheating.....on an LDWA event.....whatever next!!

Did this for the first time and had a great time, really scenic route although shame it was all on hard tracks or road, my legs were sore for most of it. More than grateful for the food at the end, having spent just over 3 hours getting by on sweet stuff. Great job done by the organisers and the folk in the kitchhen & at CP's etc

What is the issue with Barden Bridge? From the instructions, I thought you had to follow the road from the previous checkpoint, down and over the bridge, and then for about 200 yards after the bridge until you turn left on to the Dales Way.

What were the controversial alternatives?
