Great pictures!
Really enjoyed the race. Some spectacular scenery - you can't have too many erratics, I always say; a very fast descent to the farm at CP 5; and all topped off by a road race at the end.
Crikey, it was hot though. I'm still rehydrating - onto my second gallon now.

Looking to book 1/2 the night off Sunday to attend this jaunt. Can anyone provide any route details..............? Followed by an early tea at feizor cafe! Wife & father in law will no doubt spend the duration of the race in the Gamecock.

From what I recall:

Start on the main street, heading northeast out of the village, road climb out up Townhead Lane, left onto Thwaite Lane then amost immediately right onto the fell, across the limestone (Norber etc) roughly N/NW until eventually hit the PPP route NW of Sulber Nick, short section along here then back via Crummackdale, Crummack Lane, Townhead Lane for the fast downhill road finish.

Hope this helps

I have unfinished business with this race, went wrong the first year it was held (when I was still a decent ascender) myself and first 4 runners missed the turn onto the fell (been marshalled since)then in 2007 pulled a calf muscle about 500m from the finish.

That said I'm undecided between this & Ilkley Trail race (closer to home but pricier) on the Sunday.
