Got home yesterday, packed for marshalling the 4 Villages, then checked my emails - it was cancelled for the first time ever. Snow on the back lanes. Those road runners don't like it up 'em, do they?
If 4 villages is rescheduled I wonder if might have a go...whats the plan?
Besides FRA forum, and race website, the Heptonstall Fell Race Facebook is a good place to also find out about the recce, maps etc ; hope to get something up on here today....

Don't know yet - I've not spoken to the organisers. I'll probably find out Wednesday night. I suspect it won't be rescheduled though, as it takes so long to organise road closures, & they've started selling off the t-shirts!
Blimey - had nt realised how much powder had fallen today; 4 of us just did a magnificent 8-10 mile head torcher from Heptonstall, down into Colden Woods (Nania!), up to the New Delight (had a beer), PBW then up to Moorcock Lane down Dukes Cut, and back via Edge lane -1 foot of snow everywhere, snow 2 metres deep on all the tracks above Blackshawhead - Dukes Cut had disappeared completely, filled in with snow drifts, so we had to run in the fields. Was enjoying the endless virgin snow when I went over on my shoulder (now can't lift my right arm) hope its nothing serious as I need to get back out there tomorrow.
You're developing somewhat of a snow running addiction Trig! I've made a mental note of the 3rd. Hoefully there'll be no need of duckboards by then. Mind you, I can fall over a blade of grass on occasion - no need of icy mud. :thumbup:
Keep an eye out - recce on 03/02/13 is looking likely....(WARNING! I MADE A TYPO. THIS SHOULD HAVE READ 03/03/13 - APOLOGIES)

Wot? Instead of 3 March, or as well as? I can't make 3 Feb - I'm in the Lakes.
DOH!! typo - sorry splatcher - 3rd MARCH (not Feb) - but still need to check its OK with the game keeper.
The 3rd of Feb is Mickledon Straddle too
So much running and so little timeThe 3rd of Feb is Mickledon Straddle too
