There's an update on Alan's website. All looks OK.

Ah seen it now. That is good news.
Conditions are pretty much ok now. Certainly the first half is fine, might still be some snow along Dicks Lane? We were up on the last 4 or 5 miles last night and there's still a few bits and pieces up above Cragg Vale, but it's all passable.
As much I would love to to do this, with leg 2 of the Pennine RW next week and my desire to do a reasonable Trog the week after I think I will bin this in favour of a long (but shorter) steady .
Lovely day over in Calderdale. Brilliant to see so many forumites out, many having good runs, especially CANTONAWe even had a special guest appearence from birthday boy Turbo Tom. Big thanks again to Alan Greenwood who certainly knows how to organise a grand day out. Dripping sandwiches were particularly good this year!

Yes I agree Derby, weren't we lucky with the weather too? It's a fabulous route just wish I'd been able to recce it. Nice to meet Mountain Goatess and Steam Pig and a big thank you to Tussockface for helping us on some of the route.
There's an event in the summer called Moors the Merrier, can't wait to do that one too.
Thanks to all the organisers and the guys at the checkpoints, the snacks en route were fantastic.
What a good morning out. The weather was perfect, conditions underfoot pretty good too. Thanks to the two runners I led home with my routefinding for the last mile or so for letting me come in ahead of them! Etiquette at its best. Can't comment on the checkpoint food, but the water was excellent. And I stopped off at Todmorden Market on the way home for a pound of Creamy Lancashire...
Great to see everyone, all had good runs.
Aye good to randomly see a couple of forumites at your CP1 I think while we were convening for our recce of Wadsworth!
Stanners you legend!
