Right if you are out on the half...do you want. Jelly baies, beans, chocolate, coffee or a variety

Clive,

Now I know whose footprints I followed yesterday morning. I did same and decided that going any further than you was dangerous. Came back down same route.

This morning I went up with a few club members. I was convinced the running would be better after the substantial thaw. Big mistake. The thaw caused the previous runnable bit to turn to ice cold slush that was ankle deep. Then the deeper snow was still ice hard on top.

Got to CP 1 and then decided to do the finishing loop. This was even worse, the snow got even deeper and slushier. Ended up cutting across the moor to get back to the outward track, and back to the start.
Took an hour to do 4.5 miles!

Linda,

If you get the burger van, can I request they serve ice cold "slush puppy" drinks!

Cheers.

Linda
Today I've been above Todmorden on t'other moors doing the Tod Mini Mountain Marathon, and still not runnable in places. I thought taking a path on the tops would be a good option, but drifts up to the wall and tops of the gates.
Hope it thaws sharpish.

Dinks on HBK eh, could I have spiced rum and coffee please

[Clive]

By the way, if this race is on, I plan to have some chips and a few at Lane Ends (The Hare and Hounds) which is just up the road afterwards.

[Dru]

Is anyone planning a recce this weekend?

Thanks Clive. We've still got 3 weeks so hopefully all the snow will have melted by then, can't promise dry conditions though. We're due some more snow mid week but I doubt it will be much.

Sounds good! I can currently do either as well, but yeah a navigator would be handy

[shaunandrachel]

Hursty! You are supposed to volunteer to be the navigator!! Shall we say Saturday at 9.00 am? We have the maps so could bundle it together unless any more "in the know" forumites agree to join in too! Unless you advise first, I'll look at a best place to meet up later, but the 2nd Corrie is on now and I can't miss the latest trauma in the Webster/Dobbs saga!!
Anyone with Wadsworth knowledge pleeeeeease come along!!

[Dru]

Sat @ 9 suits me. I was thinking of running the Stanbury Splash but a recce is more important. I have a map but other than that I am clueless as to the route.

[ukhursty]

Will get it pencilled in, will know for sure on Friday, but 99% sure I can make 9am Sat.

If someone has a map I will be able to navigate
