    But then of course we'll be in no danger of getting anywhere near the cutoffs (hmmm...maybe I should re-phrase that...)

    Mind, if Amex looks anything like his avatar I ain't carrying 'im!!!
    No i look nothing like that now!

    Re: Wasdale July 12th 2008

    After much serious thought on this i have decided to do the sensible thing and bottle it till next year. Gives me time to get another years mileage in my legs and do a recce of the course. Going to do the Holme Moss instead as that's an AL. Want to get into the 3 Peaks next year. How many AL's do you need to do to enter it? Respect the fact that Wasdale is a tough one and i'm probably not ready for it yet, only been fell running for a year. All the best to everyone who's entered and hope you all make it round. Thanks for everyone's advice, next year for definate

    'Ow do Merry.

    You need to have completed at least 2 FRA category AM, AL, BL races anytime back to the previous January (i.e. for PPP 2009 it'll be since Jan 1st 2007 I'd imagine). I don't think you'll have any probs with that qualification!

    Can't!!! Have a family 60th b'day celebration at a Center Parcs place that weekend. Really cross and gutted to be missing it - it's the fourth year in a row that I've missed Holme Moss for one reason or another.... Bah! And it's on my doorstep!

    No worries Merry I'll do the recce for you...ont'12th July I sent my entry in last week. Recce'd Pillar round to the end so far...don't think I'll have a chance to do the Seatallan recce I was after but thought knowing the end bit was probably better than knowing the middle bit!

    Oh..and the recce's were tough so the race is gonna be...erm...tougher!!!

    p.s Wharfeego's not doing it either.

    p.p.s Hey Amex...you still gonna be there...?
    ...there's a hill nearby missing its fool...

    In case you haven't found it, there is a classic race map here.
