The only ones I've ever seen different were from decathlon; but that wasn't the screw pitch, it was the tool needed to screw in (most are round with two flat sides, the decathlon ones were completely round but with an octagonal (or hexagonal?) base).

Maybe this is just the mobile display, but I can seem to see the seniors route on the Nationals page. englishcrosscountry.co.uk Am I missing something? Not that it will make a huge difference I'll just be following the herd!! |

Just checked on desktop and it's the same. I get the impression that ECCA are a little "old skool" in their attitude to electronic comms etc. Or maybe they just can't afford to bring their website up to date. |

It's the second one one the images now. Two big laps which I guess makes sense for the size of the race. Presuming there's no features to be aware of? The missing 0.49km is welcome 😉 |

Yes, spotted the lap details there now. I'd better not get short changed on my 12k!!  Looking forward to it as an experience. Might be flatter than I'd expected as it does go up around the lake unlike when the Cheshire champs were there, but still hopeful it will be a good run out. |

I've been assuming that I could just put 15s in for tomorrow with the amount of runners but it hasn't rained for awhile. What is it like currently in the area larkim ?

Grass is damp as it's not been warm. I'm still going with 15s for the moment, should be soft ground still.
