Before the start of last Mondays (20th) 'Trunce', Andy Plummer made the announcement that there's a 'triple-crown' of races shortly (I'd forgotten that the other two were coming up)
To top it all, I start my annual-leave (for over a fortnight) on Thursday 7th
, so have plans to enter all three - yes, I know they're only short races, but that suits me at the moment
1. Saturday 9th July;
'Thurlstone Chase'

2.Sunday 10th July;
'Broomhead Chase'
http://www.fellrunner.org.uk/races.php?id=925
3, Monday 11th July;
'Trunce' race 6

I've added a comment about the '3 in 3' to Ackworth R-R's 'facebook' page, to see if I get any offers to join me in entering all three
Anyway, to the main-point of this posting;
What's the 'Thurlstone' course like, I asked a 'P F-R' last night at the
'Reindeer Romp', but just want a 2nd opinion on it
He told me that it's fairly steady climb, with nothing to surprise anyone, is that a fair interpretation?
I ran 'Broomhead' last year, for the first-time (27th/75 @ 33:48)
It's interesting to note on reading an entry on another (cycling) site that I use, that it was possibly the race that kick-started my AchillesTendonitis back
(an awkward landing on the descent, I couldn't walk properly the day after)
