Hiya Ian,
Good to meet you on Saturday. There was a bunch of us from Trawden having a run round, one of us took a tumble at the bottom gate coming off PyG, and made a nice hole in his knee; we patched him up and off he went to A&E, luckily only 3 stitches (cos there was nothing else left to stitch, the rest of the flesh was still on a rock!), but he's hoping to be OK for race day.

As you say, superb on the tops, I can't believe how still it was, and the views were fantastic! Inglebugger was, erm, interesting. Someone's stolen the path :wink: but good fun going up the wall. There was a group at the top when we got there debating which way to come down, we "advised" against it!
A great day out.

Only thing bothering me, is the old footwear choice, all the off road training for the last few weeks has been in road shoes and on Pendle last Saturday I chose wrong and went for flats, the melting snow on the cart track stuffed meI know it's early doors but it's a long time running on the day to get the footwear wrong.

i think you had just passed us when you fell. you seemed OK and I thought you had run on. did not realise you had done so much damage unless we saw another runner fall at the same place?
I was leading a group of guys and gals round. one of the girls even got up the ingleborough climb dragging her dog with her. do reckon though if someone slipped at the top then would have taken the lot of us like a pack of dominoes. anyway they did it in 11 hours which was commendable in the conditions. doing it again next saturday with a load of teachers and nurses from Leeds.
No fancy dress for this one multi coloured?
Loin cloth, Santa or wise man?
flite 230 is my weapon of choice for the three peaks; very lightweight with just enough grip, even for a few boggy bits. Now down to £50 in a range of colours too!
