That'll be it... great picture of Rob Little getting some proper air near the end of the thread at the moment.

Three or four races ago Rob won the race wearing SANDALS :w00t:. Hence the comment on the photo. As you can probably tell, he's not half bad :wink:

Register in the recreation field but the race starts on the main road in Bradwell. Very fast first three quarters of a mile or so on flat road, up some stone steps and then on to the trail for the one big climb up onto Bradwell Edge. Once you've topped out it's fairly steady running on track and across moorland paths. Views off to the right are stunning but don't stare for too long...start the descent by turning right down the gentleish gravel track then hard left and steep descent down tussocky field/moorland. Back into the recreation field and a quick half a lap or so before crashing through the finishing funnel.

Very fast and furious, lots of fun. I ran it last year in NB840s in similar conditions and they coped fine. I'll be there if I can get away from work in time.

Great race, if a tad warm.
13th, and only got beaten by a single V40 and single V50. (Boyle and Minshull... I shall have the better of you one day!)
