    Re: BG Attempt off for this ye

    Thanks for all your kind words folks, means a lot, just got home from a 10 hour day on the road, sat nav broke and didn't get all me jobs done due to road works, traffic jams etc, only ran 6 miles this week!!!!!!
    It's a delay, i still want to do the BG, just don't think its possible given my present circumstances, been lucky over the years having a job that let me cycle and run to work, that's gone now, and heads a mess at the moment, but chin up, as sure as things get worse............they will get better.

    Best Wishes folks

    Do it in your own time. Runing 's about fun not pressure. Mountains are our refuge from all the crap that gets heaped on us the rest of the time. When you're ready I'll rig Broad Stand for you if you want (if you're not a soloing rock climber as well as an ace runner. )

    Steve

    It is brave of you to make the call now, and probably sensible too, from how you sound.

    So well done for making an early call; many would let it all drag on.

    All the best for getting your stuff sorted. We know you will.

    Chin up, and maybe we'll get that long run later in the year.

    Thought there was only one of me.

    For sure there is only one Merrylegs.

    Sorry to read that ML. Ian is right tho, if you decide on a low key, no pressure last minute attempt there will sheds loads of top drawer support ready to turn up and help.

    So don't rule it out. Keep running as a refuge and see if it takes your fancy. If you do decide to try it without the months of concerted build up you'll perhaps surprise yourself. Even if you don't get round, you'll take lots of valuable learning into your "proper" attempt.

    If you want a hand, or to know a bit about how the bgr can be therapy in not so good times, pm me
