Bull Hill Fell Race- Thurs 8th July

Radcliffe AC host this Thursday's Bull Hill Fell Race. It is a BS race 5.5ml/1100'ascent.

Registration is at the Waggon & Horses, Hawkshaw Lane, Hawkshaw BL8 4JL.

£3.50 entry on the day.

The race starts at 7.30pm so I would advise a 6.15pm departure from the rail station.

This event is a Grand Prix and a Club Champs counter.

Here is a report taken from http://www.racemaps.org.uk/

"2007 -This is a little cracker of a course. The 2007 event was run on an autumnal summers evening with the clag down over the tops. Those looking forward to the usual smell of rotting sheep on the tops were not disappointed. The 120+ competitors were rewarded with a proper fell course with slippery grassy descents, paths that were part stream, mud, rocks, steep ascents (though no scrambles) and a fantastic blast down through a field at the end. Everyone I spoke to absolutely loved it. Chip butties at end were £1. Results on Tinternet the same evening. Not hard, but not easy either."

If the rotting sheep don't sell it to you , I never will!
Hopefully see you there,

Paul Jackson
