The Wray Caton Moor fell race is a category B (less than 25 metres climb per kilometre with no more than 30% of the route on road), short (10 kilometres or less) fell race and it's everything a proper fell race should be... you pay your fiver and you run!
Required kit? None. Ace. Simple.
I noticed this morning that it would have been the second running of the Lower Borrowdale Skyline fell race had it not been cancelled due to insufficient pre-entries and volunteers... it was a fantastic race last year and I swore at the time I would return to run it again. Ross has posted on Facebook that he hopes to reschedule it for the autumn so fingers crossed! And so to reminisce, I dug out my short write up from last year...
The Stan Bradshaw Pendle Round is a nine-point-something mile fell race starting and finishing in Barley, a small village to the East of Pendle Hill.
Plan-B is not something you want to hear on the eve of your A race (and only ultra of 2022): the text message read...
NAV4 TdH Emergency info: Sorry, it's Plan-B. Route will go to CP3 and then return the same way...
I must admit, my heart sank.
