No reviews of the Regular Irregular, and nothing on what people wore. Both are things no organiser publishes and every runner wants before they enter — how it actually went, and what was on your feet.

What you’re in for
Loops of 11.6, 7.2 and 4.2 miles round the Holmfirth hills from Brockholes, as many or as few as you like inside nine hours, with tea and toast to start and a meal to finish. Mid-December. An LDWA challenge event, which means walkers and runners together, a route description to navigate by rather than tape, checkpoints with food and drink, and a meal at the end. Entry is through the LDWA's own system, places are limited, and the ones in this list tend to fill early.
Terrain and trail
Pennine field path, lane and moor edge above the Holme valley — steep in places, muddy in December, and repeated if you go for the big total. A trail shoe.
