Hi Draximus, thanks for the info. I will be attending for my second visit to this great heritage line. Really enjoyed myself last year and the weather is looking favourable again this time round fingers crossed.
My first of this year of many to come
All the best

I might be there myself, weather permitting. Not sure if my 4 year old daughter would appreciate a full day out in the snow :D But I think a run from Heywood to Rawtenstall and back behind Braunton is definately on the cards

A very good line up for the first gala of the year. I too am looking forward to seeing Braunton running. Hope some of you can make it! :)
