Maybe nthe full route maybe the latter half
NMe and Manhar are doing it anyone else more than welcome
Sorry not to reply earlier been up in the Lakes for a few days

Start near Dovestone Sailing Club (013133)
Perimeter path around Dovestone Reservoir
Flagged section at Binn Green to road crossing at 017045
then checkpoints at,

Gate at 000033
Then flagged section along path through the plantation to the finish in the field near Intake Farm
It's good to know people are interested in doing the Chew Valley and I realise they will want to reccy the course but can we ask that people only use public access to and from the moors when going round the route. The route from Alphin to the gate at Fern Lee involves a fence crossing which can only be used on the day of the race. Please respect this as any damage to the fences could result in permission to run the race being withdrawn.
Happy bog trotting!
It's not impassable Tom. It's just a bit rough. There is no change to the original route planned at the moment.
We have over 100 entries now. There is an entry limit on the race so worth getting an entry in soon if you want to be sure of a place
Chew Valley Skyline
Because of the nature of the race it is pre entry only.
We have another reccie scheduled for Sunday (14/02) if anyone not doing the other skyline reccie fancies it. Meet at Tanners mill car park 9:45 for a 10:00am start.
Kann ich komme in dem auto mit du?, bitte
Shouldnt the verb always be at the end?
Schreckliches Deutsch! Und "Könnte ich bitte im Auto mitkommen" ist höflicher.
Anyway, might be over in that area on Sunday morning too, training for the Haworth Hobble.
