Presume it's still on? Anyone know what conditions are like around there? Lots of ice on the Wolds anyway.
There was still lots of snow around that way on Sunday, but was fine to run on. Unless there's a lot of snow falls in the next few days it will be on.Originally Posted by Lambertsimnel
Theres still quite a bit of snow up on Ayton moor all runnable though. The lower you are the more slushy it gets so the path up from the railway bridge to the bottom of green bank will be pretty mucky and the drop down to the cottages will be slippy. Id wear full fell shoes - you'll probably need them for the last section through the fields as well. Tread carefully on the stone steps from the monument as under the snow is still a lot of ice which could potentially be bad but that might have gone by Saturday.
Just been re-reading the posts on this thread. Cross country - mud and fields. Trail - cart paths. Fell - big hills. NEHRA winter and summer series - fell. Not as challenging as the lakes in the sense of height but challenging in different way - reading the weather, and the landscape, and the quirks of the moors. As fell territory the NYMs shouldnt be taken lightly I think - they can be deceptive and catastrophic for anyone who isn't properly prepared.
Enjoy the race!
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!
Why its a flat cross country course with loads of road - surprised its in the calendar.The race is going ahead as it stands , there has been no discussion of cancellation within the club
