Ingleborough Fell Race

[yorkshire pudding]

Feet in the clowclaps - -dont worry the gala commitee were just trying to generate more support and help. even if it was cancelled the race would of been run anyway

Bog trotter - just follow the track up but bare left and come of the side on the way down its quicker and you dont meet the rest coming up the steps

Wp - Dont worry your daughter cant beat you on this one they run seperately to seniors and turn round at Crina Bottom

Ady - dont spoil the fun by warning everyone about the banking it should be fun after the constant rain weve had today. p.s its not as steep if you bare left

As for the weather forecast, was told it was going to be a good weekend, but i've heard that before!! Just enjoy

Hi Ady - Thanks for the race info.

You need to brush up on your pubs though

It's the Marton Arms and I've had a few jars there in the past!

When you come out after a few scoops the sign looks like the 'Mason Arms'. that's my excuse anyway .

Count me in, I'll be there. I love that 4 mile climb (not), but the descent to Crina Bottom is superb.

Might give the Marton Arms a try afterwards ~ must be one of the few pubs I've never been in. Thanks for the extra info Ady & WP.

I used to go up there and do a double header in years gone by - Marton Arms then Hill Inn.
Some cracking nights.

Just back - rain kept off and a good day for the race.

Purists would say that it's not a real fell race (and some did) as there's a lot of running on gravel track, but it's my sort of race - great descent, thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fish n Chips in the Village afterwards - couldn't stretch to a pint at the Marton Arms though - wife and kids in tow.

Rubbish. A purist would say it's a true traditional English fell race up and down the local hill from the village gala without any of that navigation nonsense.

And Rivi Pike is touted as a classic and contains loads of tarmac and not very much fell - go figure.

I agree - the tightness in my legs today tells me that was a 100% fell race

Did I say pursist? I meant plonker.
