Alternatively, get there early and you can squeeze in on the bend, just past Three Shires, and immediately after the phone box. Then you start with 'the start'.

Wetherlam climb is the worst climb I know of in any race.

A reccie worth doing if you havent tried it before: Instead of ascending immediately from the gate as most of the field do in the race - try going a little further along the track, another 200m if memory serves me right (havent got a map to hand) until you see the remains of the mine buildings on your right and then dead reckon the top. The bracken is a lot shorter and it is less rough - and because you arent following a lot of runners the trod hasnt turned into mud.
