Quote from: andy_e on July 11, 2016, 02:10:49 pmRound hill looks fun, are complete novices allowed to enter?It says it's partially marked, so I would imagine it will be fairly obvious navigation wise. Depends what you're running background is, but 14Km in a race is not to be sniffed at and with 'only' 335m of ascent it will be fast!

Ah right. I noticed Borrowdale were asking for a minimum of 2 x AMs. I'll check. I am free the weekend of Holme Moss, but I would have a grim time on that purely down to distance. I've run 20Km since tearing my hamstring 7 weeks ago and it wasn't easy. Obvs hope to be in better shape come October...It sounds as though it would be wise for me to recce Langdale then.Or I could just go to the Tor and try link ups

Cheers stabbs! It transpires my pal Tom is marshalling! What could that required kit include?

30/31 Better for me T_B. Let us know which you choose.
Just get wet feet. It's part of the fun.
How was Sunday T_B?

Merino wool socks will keep your feet warm when wet Chris.
Heads up anyone intending to enter Langale. Entries opened yesterday and it's already 2/3rds full.
I've found the Inov-8 merino socks really excellent and my feet have got wet a lot in the past 6 months.

I'm going to get a pair to see what all the fuss it about.
