    Any race info - category - ascent - distance?
    What about Juniors as well - may come with a small squad!

    12-16 years
    Course: Summit of Winder & back

    The ascent and distance in the seniors depends on the route you choose between checkpoints. I'll post a map when I get back from the Ben.

    One or two of our Seniors are looking for a AM / AL race and I just want to have an idea if this would fit the bill.
    I will await further info.

    Thanks.

    I've just measured it out on the map and it's 7.1 miles and 2300 feet. So that makes it a good AM. It's a classic Howgill up and down course, but get the lines wrong and it'll be nearer 3000 feet. It's a great course that I've reccied a couple of times. Navigation wont be a problem unless the cloud is right down, in which case it'll make it interesting.

    Cheers Harry - my daughter's already given the thumbs up to the Junior race and I will be there for the Senior. Hopefully I'll encourage a few team-mates to tag along.

    The junior races up Winder are also great little courses. See you there.

    Could be a cracking little race this one. Flyers were been handed out at the Ben Race on Saturday.

    Good to se the Helm Hillers doing a good plugging job. Sedbergh hall is a good venue. You can watch everyone coming down off Winder without even going outside.
