I wore trail shoes but regretted it on the steep, grassy descents. Fell shoes recommended.
Laddow Rocks, you clamber up here Holmfirth Harriers did a great job organising the race. It was pretty hot and they ferried water to some difficult places (e.g. top of Laddow Rocks) to help us. The £5 entry fee included a T-shirt, big sandwich, cake and unlimited refills of tea and coffee. They even had a bar. There was a generous prize list (although, controversially, cases of stella for the winning men's team but not for the winning ladies team). Typical vet prizes were £15 up and running vouchers. All in all a top, 'proper' fell race organised by generous folk who know what they are doing. |
