Mick, you are in - number 650

Cheers Brett! (Years ago, that was the number of the bus I used to get from Ilkley to Bradford...
...small world, eh?)
I'd better get out for a long run this saturday, then!

Hi Brett,

Do you know if I am in ? Sent my entry form in a while ago my name is Matthew Haworth ( Trawden AC ). Not seen my name on the entry list ?

Cheers
Matt

[brett]

Yup, Matt

Number 698

Cheers Brett, for a moment I thought it had been lost in the post! :-)

I went round the course yesterday - lovely day out.
Near the end, when you come on to the road just after Leeshaw reservoir, there's a very tempting road sign - "Haworth 1 1/4 miles". How many people take that option instead of struggling over Penistone Hill?

I'd hate to lose out a few places at the last gasp!

I haven't been round the course, so I only know the stretch more or less as far as Top Withins. I'm looking forward to the newness of it but don't think I'll be getting a good time, just having a slow plod round. Do many people walk it? I noticed somewhere that it was listed as a run or walk...

We went round today - and yes saw the sign, having done the race a number of times and looking at the descriptopn then it says you have to go over Pennistone Hill, which has always been the case - but if the Master (Brett) allowed it than (based on living in Haworth) going along the road may well be quicker

I don't have a problem with going over Penistone Hill myself - I just want everyone else to!
I did the Anglezarke Amble the other week - I charged off at the front of the field, religiously following the route description which I had reccied (and I am VERY familiar with the area) only to find what seemed like most of the rest of the field charging out of the mist in front of me up to Rivington Pike, obviously having taken a shorter route through the gardens.

If I am going over Penistone Hill then I dont want the bloke behind me jogging along the road and finishing in front of me!
Not that I'm competitive or anything...

There are far more runners than walkers p b but as is often the case with these long events there is a nice blur in between the slower runners and the quicker walkers. You'll enjoy it and you won't be anywhere near last!
