Heptonstall Fell Race

[Trig]

More the merrier!
Someone in the family runs Mooch (its not true that everyone in Hebden is related BTW) glad the flyers have worked - stuck a map in the window too!
Thanks for feedback on Widdop Road - we are meeting contractors to get a definite situation for the 20th - as you say Long Causeway is a good alternative - but Widdop Road is ideal (and more scenic) if open.

Don't worry about recce - just follow the crowds! Unless you re planning to win......

Large parking field provided - anyone objectto paying pound for parking??

I don't object to paying a quid Trig, but can I get on the night before in my camper & stop (I can have a beer then too!)? If not, is there anywhere else?

Cheers

We need to check with field owner - but like your idea! The parking field has possibly the most spectacular 360 view in the calder valley - its stunning - what a place to wake up!
Will let you know asap.
If not there are is camp site up Widdop Road (if its open) plus the usual roadside/public carpark locations (not sure what the legal situation is!)
Perhaps you can help with setting up the Marquee if you end up staying over?

This is like a Howarth Hobble fun run the week after the main event isn't it? Is is on the Saturday or Sunday please?

That's great cheers for that. I'm only coming from Barrowford but thought what the hell I've missed all the recce's the least I can do is have a beer in the White Lion to show my support! Thought about the carpark but you never know if you can get away wi' it.

If I'm there I'll definately help with erection (oo'er!) of the marquee if required.

Kind of......but the fun stops at the Blue Pig; 500 foot ascent half a mile from the end; good news is we've just added a nice 400 yard, down hill, field finish to put the smile back your face. Its on Sunday 20th - entry on the day (£5) - see you there????

tbh I thought it was Saturday and therefore clashed with the Four Lakeland Passes LDWA event. It'd make a good recovery run if its on the Sunday: 33ml / 9000ft would make a decent weekend. Are there any cut-offs?

[Trig]

I like your plan - are you and Joss Naylor mates????

Re cut offs - we are just thinking of putting in a cut off to deter walkers - nothing against walkers - just thinking of our 40 marshalls who have homes/family/pubs to get back to. Generous cut off will be fine for anyone who is running steady (but not walking - big climbs excepted).
Will post cut off on website and forum in next few days - but don't let it put you off.

It's a Sunday. Will I be seeing you there, Tupster? :thumbup:

If you need any gels, running gear, and hopefully sun glasses/peaked caps (more likely gloves/baraklavas/waterproofs) then a major running retailer's Huddersfield branch will be setting up a stall - am I allowed to say who? Sounds a bit like Tup & Stunning......anyway they kindly provided our race numbers for free (with a £10 voucher on the back for anyone spending over £70).
I need some new Rocklites so I might ask for a pair to be brought along in my size.

its full race kit check so don't be caught out.........but i'll make sure whistles compasses etc are on their stand.
