Anyone doing The Yomp tomorrow (formerly known as The Mallerstang Horseshoe/Nine Standards) from Kirkby Stephen. The long one is 23m and around 4000'. They are accepting entries on the day http://www.yomp.org/index.htm registration from 07:00 am and mass start at 08:00 but you can start anytime between 08:00 and 10:00 for the long one.

That was a good long Sunday run . There were some strong cold winds on the hill tops round the route so I hope the BGers were ok today ? They definitely spoil you in these LDWA events. Its the first time I have seen portaloos at a couple of checkpoints

Nice one Geronimo. I couldn't make it to registration in time but a run out on the Howgills today confirmed that it would have a been a tad windy...

Next year I'll be a yomper.

It was a windy day. Portaloos might have helped prevent embarassing diversions of 'flow'...
