yes, me
I'm looking around last weekend in April or first weekend in May
except not an actual weekend day - I'll wait for a good weather forecast and have a day off work...

Cheers u2 - I may try & book 1 day's leave Daz - may be tricky tho' as we're knee deep in year end work (the joys of working in Finance - Not) - if you let me know I'll see about "wagging it " :wink:
We could perhaps car share as we 3 are Gtr Manchester based.
Late April or early May would suit me and none weekend days are better for me too.
Just checking work rota and looks like any of 1,2,3 or 9,10,11 of May would be good for me.
I might fancy a plod round - tried to do the race for the first time last year and was ill prepared and DNFd. Would love to have another go and be better prepared.
I've got the PPP so would prefer not to go around 1st week of May and I assume you are looking at a nice steady 7 - 8 hour jaunt aimed at 5 - 6 hour race pace runners.
I'll keep an eye out for you fixing a date - I can normally manage mid week and would be happy to get up there early.
OK, possible dates for me are:
Apr 27 [not Apr 30, as it's City vs ManU that evening]
May 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 [don't want to leave it any later than 9th]
would rather not arrange 8th/9th up front, then find weather cr@p - would rather arrange earlier date, then use 8th/9th as backup if earlier date cr@p weatherwise

May be interested
I'd prefer 8/9 or later as the earlier dates are a week after PPP and experience tells me I'll need a week off with perhaps just a few short plods - I'd never get around Ennerdale so soon after.
However, I'm a less than 50% chance of joining, so don't fix around me - fix away and if I can join then great.
