Thanks alf. All done

im planning on doing this for the first time this year, looking forward to it immensely, I havent ran in the howgills much but know they are steep and grassy, so it should be good running? whats a good time for this? Ive kind of focused my training a little bit at this race in as much as ive done some long fell stuff in training recently as well as my usuall speed work, hoping for a good run ... who else is doing it?

Well I'll be there. I love this race and hate it at the same time if that makes sense.

2 attempts before with a 3:30 target and I've managed 3:31 and 3:38.

Been cruising to CP3 and then struggled with that down/up/down from Simon's Seat and over Hazelgill Knott. Going Ok last time until I slipped and started cramping.

Plan to get to CP3 a few minutes slower, probably descend from Arant Haw a little steadier as I've had a tendancy to tear down there. Hopefully then I'll get to the Calf with enough left to enjoy the run in.

Just one thing - it's been flagged off Winder before, but I hate that run off - it always seems to take me in to 6ft tall bracken.

Am I allowed to take my own route, especially as the flags only last for a short distance, they aren't that much use!

I'll be following my own line (unless ordered to follow flags) I went round the whole route last night and it's a bit boggy/slippy in places and I blew up going up the calf as I didn't take anything with me
