We did the Hobble in 8:something last year on the way back from K's injury woes on a walk/run, and were still quite a way from the back.
Not sure we'll be much quicker this year 😂

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

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.

Not doing Splash - unusually for me, the later start time that the Penistone Hill races have doesn't work for me this week - wouldn't be able to run round, then get back in time for a vets hockey match in the afternoon.
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!)

What's the route like - steep and rocky or an XC-mud-fest?

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

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
