flanker Jan 2020 9:57am, 10 Jan 2020 18,853 posts	Quote Pin flanker Yup. Or at least will be trying to! If anyone needs a Trog place I've got one spare - just been told I'd already entered Pendle Way in a Day on the 1st! Not sure how I'll get around 50 miles, but it's probably the easier option of the two
Northern Exile Jan 2020 10:23am, 10 Jan 2020 5,781 posts	Quote Pin Northern Exile Was considering the Splash .... our problem is that it's very similar to the ALS and we did that just over a week ago! On balance, I think we might go up the Dale a bit this weekend and try and get some more climb in our legs. Lakes look wet and windy, otherwise that's where we'd be.

NE - usually it's end of Jan isn't it? So despite similiarity to ALS, it's usually not too bad - but I agree just over a week between the two when they're so similar isn't great (especially those flipping fields!)

Derby.Tup Jan 2020 11:38am, 10 Jan 2020 37,478 posts	Quote Pin Derby.Tup XC-mud-fest with some track and a sting-in-the-tail-climb. It’s by far the best of the former Woodentops routes imo

rf_fozzy Jan 2020 12:12pm, 10 Jan 2020 9,404 posts	Quote Pin rf_fozzy DT - I'm going to respectfully disagree with you and say the alternative ALS route to Top'o'stairs is the best former Woodentops route
