Prepare the suffer, although the distance may not look much greater the overall is probably about double.
Alas I don't know anything about Pendle or Winter Hill as I live in London. This is my first AL race. Any tips or descriptions of the route comparing it to areas around Ilkley/Bingley. No chance for a recces so any tips on course would be good

Cheers
