What are the roads to Barley like?? I get off J9 I think of the M65 and head over that way. Am I likely to slide down into Barley car park and not be able to get out again??

Any one know?

How deep is the snow Hursty - what route did you do?

Ta.

The roads will be fine by then for sure, providing the snow stays away.

As for the snow, well it varies all over, but on the main paths its not too bad at all, nice and compacted, not too icey thanks to all the budding Everest wannabes going up in there plenty.

As soon as you go off piste, which I tend to do, thats when the fun starts! As noted, it can be up to waist deep but generally about 6 to 12 inches, and in some places its deep but you can run over the top without sinking, more so than myself and SS I would say!

Going up tomorrow, so will see what the crack is then.

EDIT - I tend to do random routes, usually from CP2, then continue along FTOP to CP4, or maybe miss out geranimo and head from the top of Spence moor off piste to CP5 or 6, I've done all the big climbs in the snow we have now, and they are no bother in the snow, if not easier to descend really

Gary, you doing any running at pendle this sunday, i may be up for a trot

[southernsoftie]

Yes, Pendling Sunday, but with a twist.

0800, from Barley and starting with a hard hill sprint circuit session on one of the reservoir banks, then c2hr's worth of running. Tentatively I'd say 2nd half of FTOP, but if snow is still deep there's no way we'd fit this into 2hrs, so we can make the call on the day.

So. Who's with me?

What time will you be finishing the "hard hill sprint circuit session" SS as I could join you at that time (providing the full White Holme race is not going to take place)

[Darth domain]

Tell you what, i'm up for it, c you at 8a.m

[ukhursty]

Should be there as well

[southernsoftie]

Excellent! Good to see we've got a crowd forming!

Can I ask that if you're coming along - and you have one - you bring a watch that has a countdown timer? Have yet to decide if I'm gonna do the circuits on a rep or timed basis, but would be good to have the option for the latter. TBH, I think this'd be my preference.

Alf, was planning circuits'til 9 (don't panic - allows for a not so prompt 0800 start, time to get to the banking and a proper warm up/stretch session). Aim to get to the banking (lower res) by 0845 and you won't miss us. You never know though, you might enjoy the circuit? Seriously tho', you could always leave out the hill sprints.
