Thanks Jedi that pictures great. I really enjoyed the full Heptonstall fell race in March and can't wait for Saturday!

[The Jedimaster]

Nice profile Jedi and 1600 feet (100 more than advertised) under promise and over deliver!
Do we have amy images of agricultural machinery in action????

Some behind the scenes agri-action – the start and finish fields were too overgrown so we took matters into our own hands and went medieval on that bad-ass-grass… http://flic.kr/s/aHsjAr3DW7

Is that the Grim-reaper 'helping'?

The race is still on although there's a reasonable chance of you getting wet feet.

But please note that the parking field will be closed. Marshals will help you find alternative parking places along the road to Slack and Widdop.

You may end up parking further from the start/finish than you'd like but we will have a couple of scout tents where you can store your gear during the race

See you tomorrow!

Will I be able to get there from Ilkley as I heard Hebden Bridge is flooded?

[Roubaix]

Hi wjb, yes I would say even if Hebden did flood (although I'm not sure that is the case) you would be able to get here. Even at the end of June when all hell broke loose, the road was reopen by the morning. I can't see you having any problems at all. See you tomorrow!

Glad to hear it's all still on. I hope the flagging party aren't too waterlogged by the time they get back tonight. There's usually some honesty box parking available near the park/bowling green on the opposite side of Heptonstall too. See you for a we 'un tomorrow!

Flagging done! Turned out to be nice evening - clouds lifted and blue sky appeared.
All roads clear and a half decent forecast (including sun) for tomorrow - all we need now is 100 forumites to come and enjoy the fun
