Muddites Unite!

Having followed the Tooth Fairy's route choice, the Chief Muddite (aka NL Not-a -Runner) would no doubt be pleased to see her companions sink into into the noxious sludge betwix Two Lads and the Shooting Hut on the well supported outing on Saturday 10th Nov.

Which brings me to ponder on which is the slutchiest route on Winter Hill. Is it...

a. The Winter Hill route as covered above.

b. The route from the mast across to the Pike (as used as part of the Downhill Race).

c. Across the flats towards the trig point from Hordern Stoops.

d. None of these ~ please put forward your own suggestion.

Perhaps we should put it to the test by doing all three (four?) on the same day. Perhaps the TF could work out an economic/efficient/effective route.

Ladies may wish to shave their legs to avoid attracting too much undergrowth.

I'll leave someone else to comment on the various poor excuses offered for coming home early on what was probably one of the best mornings we've seen on Winter Hill for some time.

I've found the poss e/e/e route for winter hill race. Someones GPS trace from last years' race on the following website. http://www.johnmayall.btinternet.co.uk/winterhill.htm

Listed on the home page are some useful race maps and one race called Eddy's Revenge, maybe we should try it next year!

Did Mr Mayall run with his Bluesbreakers?
Must add a link for the site to the website - very useful.
