Eddie's Revenge
Info: New entries for this event closed on Sunday 27th June 2021.
£5; Pre-entry only. |
Eddie’s Revenge is a category A/S (6.1K/323m) fell race starting at Shore Methodist church climbing to the Trig Point on Crompton Moor before descending to the quarries near Buckstones Road.
The route is a mixture of moorland trail, forest trail and rough moorland paths, and although the course is generally well drained by old mine workings there are some areas where the mud can be found, particularly in inclement weather.
This course is tougher than a cursory glance at the map will lead you to expect. There are numerous ascents and descents as the course loops and threads its way through forest and moorland before releasing you into a steep shale covered descent towards the end of the first lap.
