The race is going ahead as it stands , there has been no discussion of cancellation within the club.

Recce'd the whole route this afternoon, conditions are variable, clear, slush, ice and snow. I would advise fell shoes if you have them available.

The icy bits are on the ascent once past the railway bridge and upto the woods, the snow is up top and on the descent, still up to 12 inches deep where it has drifted.

Take it steady if it its a cold New Years Eve!
