It's my Birthday on the 10th so I think I'm gonna do this one.
Not done any running in that area so looking forward to it.
Cracking race today, really enjoyed it.
Some tough climbing and super fast bracken descents!
Nice impromptu cloud burst at the finish to cool everyone down as well. Well timed.

nice little race that one ,what was all that rain about at the end though ! Gonna try my Bowland beer now
That's what my Garmin measured it at. Great race that.
Unfortunately one only does that route every 3 years and the other two routes are not as serious.
Must apologise for not having posted a "heads up" at the beginning of last week. Now that I'm retired, logging on to the 'puter is not a daily occurrence and there is so much else on - however did I find time to go to work and sit at a 'puter all day?
Yes, the Dunsop Bridge venue has the best fell race, with Mellor Knoll and Totridge Fell being so handy. It could be best described as a classic BOFRA style course. Next year the show will be at Slaidburn then Newton-in-Bowland for 2013 and back to Dunsop Bridge for 2014. The other 2 venues are longer races but less ascent - more cross-country/rough moorland style races, but still appear to be appreciated by our regulars.
Well done Mr. Breeze, waiting for the prize presentation. You displayed true Yorkie qualities, not departing for home without your bottle of wine for 1st V60!

I was not, of course, dismissing the two other routes but more regretting that this superb short race is not available every year, but then I suppose neither are the Olympic Games.
