    Hi Nora,

    Whenever I see you at races with Compo I've always wanted to call you Nora (seeing as he's not introduced us), but I've never had the bottle! Maybe I will do next time.

    Hope you're back running soon.

    Geoff

    I tend to leave the true endurance stuff to Compo.

    Thanks for the nav tips.

    you may miss the path but keep going down one of the grough until you pick up tooleyshaw from there start to head more south but just stay on the top. plenty of fences posts and bogs to show you the way.
    Thanks Ian, very helpful.
    Have been round today with Craig who is doing the race on Sunday.
    Think I will give it a miss!

    Hoping to be there on Sunday. This race was one of my first fell races and the area (plus variations!) is probably my favourite training ground.

    There should be a gaggle of H'firth Harriers on the day as I see it's one of their fell champ counters.

    Swoop and I ran this course on Monday. A lot different than it was last year (I recollect running in trail shoes). Was very boggy, we both fell over quite a bit, up to my knees in mud on more than one occasion, and very very windy. Should be a challenge on Sunday!

    Was windy on Sunday morning too. But I've never know it not to be blowing a gale above Laddow Rocks!

    Didn't manage to do full recce for various reasons (too many to go into, but nothing to do with Ian's nav tips) but enjoyed being out on t' moors and looking forward to plodding around at the back of the field this coming Sunday. Under strict instructions from the physio not to be pushing poorly calf/achilles to breaking point (again).

    Geoff - apologies from Compo. He was sure he had introduced us, but to be honest, he was probably thinking more about canny route choices and race tactics than social niceties. "Hello Nora" is fine by me.

    That's right. I could barely stand up around Laddow Rocks.
