See you there Ali, I've been handed Leg 5 as well.

As has been mentioned, the stone flagged path leading down to the beck in Shibden is slippy to say the least (or it will be by the time I get there!)

[Gaz]

Any bits especially treacherous, Gaz? I'm an unsuspecting runner if ever there was one.

Tussockface, as highlighted by Stevie, good luck and be careful.

See you on the day

Wuth regards

Gaz

Cheers. Have a good one.

I reccied leg 2 yesterday. About the STABLES: I "ran" the gauntlet of a long row of horses heads all gazing sadly out of their stables at the point where the description says "... following a field path into a lane between farm buildings ...". There were also quite a lot of people and one or two dogs. Strange that these stables are not mentioned. I did not see any stables at the point highlighted in the description - Todmorden Edge Farm. Am I confused?

Thanks Graham, the note from the organisers was:

On going through the riding stables (leg 2) you must WALK through.

This doesn't clarify which stables, and I haven't reccied that leg recently, so I assumed Todmorden Edge, since there was already a mention of stables there. From your description it is clear it should be at Longfield. I have therefore updated the completely unofficial and unendorsed route description.

Reports of any other errors welcome.

Mrs Stagger has run the leg this morning. The stables are the ones after you run up Lumbbuts Rd then towards Shepards Rest Pub through a couple of fields then you enter the Stables concerned.

I hope this helps leg 2 runners. Al the best for the weekend.

I did this last week and the slabs were like glass; I ended up holding onto the fence just to stay upright. the good bit is they don't last long and the rest of the leg seemed fine. See some of you Sunday; I'll be wearing the black and orange of Milton Keynes AC.

Cheers - Raymond
