Enjoyed it too PJ. Decent course, loved the section past Chrome Hill down to Glutton Bridge. I remember doing the Hollinsclough fell race a few years back which from memory goes over Chrome Hill.
Yes would have been nice less windy, but kept dry anyway. Good day out.
This is coming up on sunday 24th May.

Its good for hill training !!!
looks like I may be doing this one - anybody else?
Is this entry on the day? I woudln't have a clue what time to expect but oddly it does appeal to meOriginally Posted by DazTheSlug
I emailed the organiser and he said there'll be no probs entering on the day - that's what I'll be doing!
I know it's tantamount to heresy on here, but I actually quite fancy a weekend off this off-road, stumbling about, slipping/sliding malarkey, and get my feet onto nice reliable, predictable tarmac for a change
had to dust off my road shoes mind - not used em in ages!
I'm also really interested - no idea how I will do nor wot time to aim for as I rarely if ever run on the road. I can see a train crash of a race for me if I do itI emailed the organiser and he said there'll be no probs entering on the day - that's what I'll be doing!

If I do do it does anyone know where to park in Buxton?
If you get there in good time there are often places to park on Burlington Rd beside Pavilion Gardens. Otherwise, there is a pay&display in Pavilion Gardens accessed from Burlington Rd. Race registration is in the Pavilion (well it always used to be...)
It's given a great day tomorrow weather-wise. Good Luck to all running tomorrow!
just to say what a fantastic time I had doing this race today
glorious weather, bringing out the gorgeousness of the scenery to it's full potential
great undulating course (very little flat - just how I like it)
the sluglets enjoyed Pavilion Gardens
everybody's caught a bit of sun

After DTSs comments, I went over to the RW site and found a load more (including DTS again) Since then, I've been waiting for this one to be advertised again.
They've just put up the date and £, with a 75p cost to register online.
I'm in already
