Thanks for all those replies... and giving it a Ilkley Moor comparison. Just looked at the map (gulp!). Making it to CP 1 will be a start!
Will try to remember some of those tips.
At least I'm Lancashire born so I should be able to cope with the air!!
Aye, you'll be right as rain then mate!!
Cheers. Just looked at map again and can see what you mean!!!CP9 -> CP10 - Good luck
I'm on the Wharfedale side of Ilkley Moor and keep meaning to put together a TOP style training route around it
Whatever you do Yamaman make sure you save something for last climb on race day - its a toughie on tired legs
Its hard due to the fact there isn't a well worn trod to guide you up, and of course very steep
There is sort of a trod, but its so hard to find, and even if found, hard to stay on.
Trod schmod! Up Big End you don't need a trod. Besides, it's pleasantly grassy, a joy to climb.Its hard due to the fact there isn't a well worn trod to guide you up, and of course very steep

Its the most delightful part of the whole tour squire!!
I do like the way its steep all the way to the top, and when your at the top, you are at the top lol
None of this slowly leveling off rubbish!
Looking forward to this, just sent me entry off t'other day, hope i get in, tough race, died on second to last climb last year, born again on the last, could smell the Guinness all the way down to the finish
Apart from that last little gentle rise to the trig, eh?I do like the way its steep all the way to the top, and when your at the top, you are at the top lol
