In short: I do it year after year
In full: Lovely area of the country & they can charge what they want for me. I'd rather pay £7 ro run Dentdale, than £15 to run down Blackpool Prom! Pcds go to local school. Terrific atmosphere. Its a must do race. I always stay a few nights. But......I would willingly pay another couple of quid if we got a bottle of Dent beer at the finish!
