Tonight it's the annual RMI Downhill Race, where competitors are set off from the mast at 30 second intervals and are required to make their way to the Pike Tower, which they must touch before proceding down to the RMI on Chorley New Road. Because there's no set route, it's a test of both descending skills and local knowledge. Also, depending on a number of factors, it can also be a test of night vision.
The proper thing to do is to jog up the mast, but weaker souls have been known to get their womenfolk to drive them up. Chris Beasley (TLoB) and I, being weaker souls, but not having biddable womenfolk are to drive part way up (probably to Wilderswood), jog the last mile or so, and then after the race and a couple of beers, retrieve the car later in the evening. If anyone (anyone!) is interested, we're planning to leave the RMI at 6:15.
Fancy it?
