    Re: The Ben Race

    Mapper, thanks for rescuing the thread. Marvin lets keep this thread at the top all the way to September. I wonder if Jebby is a forumitey. Any body know
    Good preperation for the race would be a good meal the night before of Haggis Neaps & Tatties followed by a few pints of heavy. Will certainly give the momentum on the way down!!!!!!!
    Good training for the climb up the Ben would be at least 5 or 6 or 7 contiuous climbs upto Paddys Pole at Bleasdale Circle today!

    The thread doesn't seem to need much maintenance from me - there seem to be plenty of other people who keep pulling it back onto the front page when it slips down.

    My problem is not providing momentum, but controlling it downhill.

    What got me on the Ben was the amount of continuous steep descent from where you leave the plateau to where you rejoin the tourist path after Red Burn - say a total of just over 2000ft Where can I find a descent like that to train on around the Peak District?
