Anotyher PEak District race bites the dust (for this year at least):

"Grin & Bear It - CANCELLED

Simon has had to cancel the race as it crosses a section of land that is an SSSI and is so wet the landowner feels it will be damaged"

Given that one of the main features of the race was traversing the 'Bog Monster' from cut gate, you feel this issue could always be a factor.

Fairly certain this (albeit with a different route, but still crossing the Bog Monster) was my first ever long race back in 2008.
